Justified Black Eye

Justified Black Eye - Tony Sly

She was confused and abused in this life

Emotional and violent moments

Seemed to take the longest time

Every single knockout dragout

Fight they ever had

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 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

Coming 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

And a kiss and a don't know why as

A tear drops from her swollen eye

Apologies until tonight and another

Justified black eye
