Intro

Em C G D (x2)

Verse 1

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
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   

Verse 2

Taken for granted she sleeps by the phone
Waiting for a call from him it seems he's never coming home,
Fourteen 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 another
Justified black eye   
Justified black eye
