No one knows what its 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 faded...telling only lies
Chorus
But my dreams...they aren't as empty
As my concious seems to be
I have hours only lonely
My love is vengance...that's never free
No one knows what its 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
When my fist clenches crack it open
Before i use it and lose my cool
If I smile tell me some bad news
Before i laugh and act like a fool
If I swallow anything evil
ut your finger down my throat
If I shiver please give me a blanket
Keep me warm let me wear your coat
- then repeat first 2 lines and ur done.

About this song: Behind Blue Eyes
"Behind Blue Eyes" is a song written by Pete Townshend of The Who for his Lifehouse project. It first appeared on The Who's 1971 Who's Next album, along with a number of other remnants from the project. The song is one of The Who's most well known recordings and has been covered by many artists. The lyrics are a first-person lament from a man in the Lifehouse story, variously identified as 'Brick' or 'Jumbo', who is always angry and full of angst because of all the pressure and temptation that surrounds him, and the song was intended to be his "theme song" had the project been successful.
