[Verse]

            
No one knows w

         
hat it's like
             
To be the bad 

              
man, to be the

 
 sad man

Behind blue ey

es

            
No one knows w

         
hat it's like
             
To be hated, t

     
o be fated
   
To telling onl

y lies


[Chorus]

            
But my dreams 

              
they aren't as

 
 empty
             
As my conscien

           
ce seems to be
            
I have hours, 

      
only lonely 
             
My love is ven

              
geance, that's

       
 never free


[Verse]

            
No one knows w

         
hat it's like
              
To feel these 

             
feelings, like

   
 I do 
            
And I blame yo

u
            
No one bites b

       
ack as hard 
             
On their anger

             
, none of my p

ain and woe
           
Could show thr

ough


[Chorus]

            
But my dreams 

              
they aren't as

 
 empty
             
As my conscien

           
ce seems to be
            
I have hours, 

       
 only lonely 
             
My love is ven

              
geance that's 

      
never free


[Bridge]
   
   

           
When my fist c

             
lenches, crack

      
 it open
            
Before I use i

             
t and lose my 


cool,
            
And when I smi

           
le, tell me so

me bad news
            
Before I laugh

             
 and act like 

  
a fool

   

           
If I swallow a

        
nything evil
            
Put your finge

         
r down my thro

at
            
And if I shive

             
r, please give

      
 me a blanket
            
Keep me warm, 

             
let me wear yo

  
ur coat

   
   
      
      
      


[Outro]

            
No one knows w

         
hat it's like
             
To be the bad 

              
man, to be the

 
 sad man
