Pete Townshend
Behind Blue Eyes
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
But my dreams are aren't as empty as my conscience seems to be
And I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance that's never free

[Verse 2]
And 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

[Chorus]
But my dreams are aren't as empty as my conscience seems to be
And I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance that's never free

[Verse 3]
And 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
[Chorus]
But my dreams are aren't as empty as my conscience seems to be
And I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance that's never free
And my dreams are aren't as empty as my conscience seems to be
And I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance that's never free

[Outro]
No one knows what it's like to be the bad man
To be the sad man behind blue eyes
