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
