Sheryl Crow – Behind Blue Eyes lyrics

Sheryl Crow – Behind Blue Eyes lyrics

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 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 as empty
As my conscience seems to be.
I have hours, only lonely...
My love is vengeance
That's never free.

When my fist clenches 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.

(cover of the original by The Who)

Well this one is a good one of meaning. It touches home for myself personally. This man has done awful things to others in his life. He's an addict in addiction. He is searching for that one kind soul that will stop him from using drugs. He needs a real and true friend who.does it judge him, and a friend that will stop him from the high of the drug. So that he can get help instead of using again. He feels regret for the lying, stealing, hurting others and wAnts to stop. He's come to his bottom, to the end of himself, knowing that the next time I'm his depression and lonliness, may be his last time. And that he has found a partner or a or both in one he is asking her to help him not stumble, to have putty even though he's been a bad man, and sad and in something that he can't leave. He knows that he can't take that mistake back, but he's asking for a true woman in his life to take him as he is, help him to be a better man than he has not been. He found that woman, and she would and has given her all to and for him. He even felt love, empathy, comfort, real true happiness and joy with her.
