She was confused and abused in this life
Emotional and violent moments all seemed to take the longest time
Every single knockout dragout fight they ever had, apologies and dignity denied
He starts to laugh, he starts to lie with suddenly psychotic eyes
Every night, she cried herself to sleep, she didn't recognize
Her own face in the mirror, black and blue
So afraid, intimidation, like a child, she hides away
He would always try to justify what wasn't true
Justified black eye
Taken for granted, she sleeps by the phone
Waiting for a call from him, but it seems he's never comin' home
14 beers later, he is there without an answer
Once again, she questions his lies, he goes to bed with no reply
Tomorrow morning, different story and he'll be a different guy
He'll justify her black eye with another lie
She packs her bags in great temptation, he's on his knees again, he cries
A hug and a kiss and a don't know why as a tear drops from her swollen eye
Apologies until tonight and yet another justified black eye
Justified black eye
