[English]

No one knows what it's like

To be the bad man

To be the sad man

Behind blue eyes

And no one knows what it's like

To be hated

To be fated

To telling only lies

But my dreams they aren't this empty

As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely

My love is vengeance

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 woe

Can show through

But my dreams they aren't this empty

As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely

My love is vengeance

That's never free

...

Discover L I M P say it

Discover L I M P say it

...

Discover L I M P say it

Discover L I M P say it

Discover

No one knows what it's like

To be mistreated

To be defeated

Behind blue eyes

And no one knows how to say

That they're sorry

And don't worry

I'm not telling lies

But my dreams they aren't this empty

As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely

My love is vengeance

That's never free

...

No one knows what it's like

To be the bad man

To be the sad man

Behind blue eyes

...
