Black Eyes
When you last left me, my blood was in a jar, and you kept it on your mantelpiece
I couldn't count on anyone to stand there behind me
And keep the dogs from dragging me off with them
While I slept, you crept in and pulled the rug right out from under me (ah, ah, ah, ah)
In the rain, you stole away and took the parts that kept me functioning (ah, ah, ah, ah)
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 blindly
And my knuckles dragged across the walls
And the birds up there mock me and the scenery's turned wicked
And your name is trapped beneath my tongue
All of the roads are one now, each choice is the same
All the roads, they are one now, each choice is the same
I won't show my hands now, I know this ain't a game
All the roads, they are one now, each choice is
Take a step, take another step, take another step, not a care for where they fall
You burned me, yeah, you've burned me, yeah, you've burned me now one too many times
And my thoughts are the cold kind, I've got storm clouds that are brewing behind my eyes
And my heart will be blacker than your eyes when I'm through with you
I couldn't count on anyone to stand there behind me
And keep the dogs from dragging me off with them
While I slept, you crept in and pulled the rug right out from under me (ah, ah, ah, ah)
In the rain, you stole away and took the parts that kept me functioning (ah, ah, ah, ah)
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 blindly
And my knuckles dragged across the walls
And the birds up there mock me and the scenery's turned wicked
And your name is trapped beneath my tongue
All of the roads are one now, each choice is the same
All the roads, they are one now, each choice is the same
I won't show my hands now, I know this ain't a game
All the roads, they are one now, each choice is
Take a step, take another step, take another step, not a care for where they fall
You burned me, yeah, you've burned me, yeah, you've burned me now one too many times
And my thoughts are the cold kind, I've got storm clouds that are brewing behind my eyes
And my heart will be blacker than your eyes when I'm through with you
