Justified Black Eye

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.
Starts to laugh he starts to lie
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
Fourteen beers later he is there without an answer
Once again she questions his lies
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
Hug & a kiss and a don't know why as
A tear drops from her swollen eye
Apologies until tonight and another
Justified black eye
