Justified Black Eye Lyrics - Live In A Dive (live) - No Use For A Name

She was confused and abused in this life 

Emotional and violent moments 

Seemed to take the longest time 

Every single knockout, dragout 

Firght they ever had 

Apologies and dignity denied 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 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 differenty 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
