[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
]
To be fated
To telling onl
y lies
[Chorus]
But my drea-ea
ms, 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 pai
n and woe
Can show throu
gh
[Chorus]
But my drea-ea
ms, they aren'
t as empty
As my conscien
ce seems to be
I have hours o
nly lonely
My love is ven
geance that's
never free
[Middle 8]

When my fist
clenches crac
[ ]
k it open
Before I use
it and lose m
y cool
When I smile t
ell me some ba
d news
Before I laugh
and act like
| | |
a fool
And if I swa
llow anything
evil
Put your finge
r down my thro
at
And if I shive
r please give
me a blanket
Keep me warm l
et me wear you
