Verse(both guitar's) She was confused and abused in this life Emotional and violent moments seemed to take the longest time Every single night i tried to find the other half apologies and dignity denied He starts to laugh, he starts to lie with suddenly psychotic eyes Chorus Every night she cried herself to sleep she didn't recognize her own face in the mirror all black & blue So afraid intimidation like a child she hides away He would always try to justify what wasn't true Justifed Black Eye 2nd Verse 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 she goes to bed with no reply 2nd Chorus 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 & a kiss and I don't know why as a tear drops from her swollen eye Bridge Apologies until tonight and it's another justified black eye Justifed Black Eye
