Justified Black Eye - No Use for a Name

She was confused and abused in this life
Emotional and violent moments
Tthat seemed to take the longest time
Every single knockout, dragout, fight they ever had 
Apologies and dignity denied
He starts to laugh 
He starts 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, intimidated 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 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 amd a kiss and a don't know why 
As a tear drops from her swollen eye
Apologies until tonight and another
'Justified' black eye
