No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man...
To be the sad man...
Behind blue eyes
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 vengeance¹
That's never free

　　No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do...
And I blame you.
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe²
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

　　When my fist clenches³ crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool.
When I smile tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool.
If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat.
If I shiver please give me a blanket
Keep me warm...Let me wear your coat

　　No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man...
To be the sad man...
Behind blue eyes
