Black Eyes
when you last left me, my blood was in a jarand you kept it on your mantlepieceI couldn't count on anyone to stand there behind meand keep the dogs from dragging me off with them
while I slept, you crept inand pulled the rug right out from under mein the rain, you stole awayand took the parts that kept me functioning
now my heart will be blacker than your eyes when I'm through with you
and I said: “This life ain't no love song.”while I marched on blindlyand my knuckles dragged across the wallsand the birds up there mock me, and the scenery's turned wickedand your name is trapped beneath my tongue
all of the roads are one now, each choice is the sameall the roads, they are one now, each choice is the sameI won't show my hands now, I know this ain't a gameall the roads, they are one now, each choice is …
take a step, take another step, take another stepnot a care for where they fallyou burned me, yeah, you've burned me,yeah, you've burned me now one too many timesmy thoughts are the cold kindI got storm clouds that are brewing behind my eyes
and my heart will be blacker than your eyes when I'm through with you
