Black Eyes Lyrics

Loudly you fall

Back against the wall

With bruises on your arms

Quietly you talk

To separate the fault

But you come to a halt

'Cause you're in love with him

Regardless of his sins

And that's the way it is

When you cross that line

Through the sand of times

Some comfort you will find

When everything you see is smudged a black eye

Lay down and dream about the sweetest kiss goodnight

And don't forget you can't let stories go untold

Or else the pressure there will tear apart your soul

Take him back again

And try to understand

That heaven is the end

Once or twice is fine

'Cause he might change his mind

But third's the final time

But once the sky divides

The schism of his mind

Will shimmer through his eyes

And maybe in your head

Denial will set in

And comfort you again

When everything you see is smudged a black eye

Lay down and dream about the sweetest kiss goodnight

And don't forget you can't let stories go untold

Or else the pressure there will tear apart your soul
