Lyrics

[00:08.40] No one knows what it's like
[00:11.76] To be the bad man
[00:15.50] To be the sad man
[00:19.44] Behind blue eyes
[00:21.76]
[00:23.57] No one knows what it's like
[00:26.84] To be hated
[00:30.57] To be fated
[00:33.89] To telling only lies
[00:36.66]
[00:38.00] But my dreams
[00:41.77] They aren't as empty
[00:45.88] As my conscience seems to be
[00:52.16]
[00:53.71] I have hours, only lonely
[01:01.32] My love is vengeance
[01:05.22] That's never free
[01:08.58]
[01:14.05] No one knows what it's like
[01:16.97] To feel these feelings
[01:20.99] Like I do
[01:24.57] And I blame you
[01:27.13]
[01:29.38] No one bites back as hard
[01:32.93] On their anger
[01:36.00] None of my pain and woe
[01:39.94] Can show through
[01:42.71]
[01:43.87] But my dreams
[01:47.43] They aren't as empty
[01:51.52] As my conscience seems to be
[01:57.26]
[01:59.29] I have hours, only lonely
[02:06.33] My love is vengeance
[02:10.92] That's never free
[02:24.77]
[02:27.34] When my fist clenches, crack it open
[02:31.48] Before I use it and lose my cool
[02:35.31] When I smile, tell me some bad news
[02:38.76] Before I laugh and act like a fool
[02:42.64]
[02:45.99] And if I swallow anything evil
[02:49.90] Put your finger down my throat
[02:53.27] And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
[02:56.78] Keep me warm; let me wear your coat
[03:00.67]
[03:21.55] No one knows what it's like
[03:24.75] To be the bad man
[03:28.54] To be the sad man
[03:32.63] Behind blue eyes
[03:38.75]
