Behind Blue Eyes Lyrics

 (Townshend)
 
 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
