No one knows what it's like

To be the bad man

To be the sad man

Behind dark eyes

And no one knows what it's like

To be hated

To be fated

To telling only lies



But my dreams

They aren't as empty

As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely

My love is vengeance

That's never free



No one knows what it's like

To feel these feelin's

Like I do

And I blame you

No one bites back as hard

On their anger

None of my pain an' woe

Can show through



But my dreams

They aren't as empty

As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely

My love is vengeance

That's never free



No one knows what it's like

To be mistreated

To be defeated

Behind dark eyes

And no one knows how to say

That they're sorry

An' don't worry

I'm not telling lies



But my dreams

They aren't as empty

As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely

My love is vengeance

That's never free



No one knows what it's like

To be the bad man

To be the sad man

Behind dark eyes
