Black Eyes, Crying In The Darkness
I woke up to you standing over me,
at any other time,
you being here would be bliss,
but I can tell before you say it,
he knocked the fucking shit out of you,
come on,
sit down.
He did didn't he,
he screamed at you,
made you feel worthless,
told you that you ain't shit.
That don't matter though,
you're used to words of hate,
the words that slit throats of most,
so please tell me,
what changed.
Did you finally stand up for yourself,
did you tell him he's a no good piece of shit?
I don't get you,
why do you keep goin back,
you know more than anyone else,
that I love you.
Here,
put this on your eyes,
it'll stop the swelling and the bleeding.
You know how much I would give to be with you,
and how I want you to have your dreams come true.
But no,
of course not,
you say I deserve better,
baby you don't even know,
I don't deserve to be the shoulder you cry on,
I don't deserve to even know you,
cuz i've fucked up too.
So please,
dear fucking christ,
don't go back.
Let me take care of you,
my rugged fuckin' princess
