to be the sad man behind blue eyes

No one knows what it's like to be hated

to be fated to telling only lies

But my dreams they aren't as empty

as my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely

my love is vengeance that's never free

No one knows what it's like to feel these feelings

like I do and I blame you

No one bites back as hard on their anger

none of my pain and woe can show through

But my dreams they aren't as empty

as my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely

my love is vengeance that's never free

When my fist clenches, crack it open

before I use it and lose my cool

When I smile, tell me some bad news

before I laugh and act like a fool

And if I swallow anything evil

put your finger down my throat

And if I shiver, please give me a blanket

keep me warm, let me wear your coat

No one knows what it's like to be the bad man

to be the sad man behind blue eyes
