Letra de
Behind Blue Eyes

A canção Behind Blue Eyes foi escrita por Pete Townshend, guitarrista da banda britânica The Who. A música faz parte do projeto Lifehouse, que deveria ser a sucessão do álbum Tommy, mas foi abandonado. A letra é uma introspecção sobre os sentimentos de Townshend, relatando a visão de um vilão e retratando seus sentimentos, lutas e redenção. A música foi lançada em 1971 no álbum Whos Next e logo se tornou uma das mais emblemáticas da banda.

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

No one knows what its like
To be mistreated, to be defeated
Behind blue eyes
No one knows how to say
That they're sorry and don't worry
I'm not telling 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 be the bad man,
To be the sad man, behind blue eyes
