Black eye from staring through a keyhole at my lover
i swear it's not from his fists
when stockholm syndrome comes to where they're keeping you
you never know what time it is
black eye is all it's gonna take for me to love you

it's written in my constitution

if you go, you know i'm coming with you

blind, bound by love



(chorus)

time is no friend to the ones who wait

for daylight to come

time looks the same at the ones who hate

and the ones that do nothing



black eye is what i'm gonna paint for your protection

to cover the tracks that you're leaving

i misplace my face so we can be together

red lips change how you're perceiving



(chorus)
