Nahja Mora - Black Eye Lyrics

It was only once
I know that i deserved it
He strikes through the brow
Though you offer a handshake

And you'll change your hair
And you'll stand again
And you'll let it slide
And you'll hide in dark
And you'll count the time
And say "sorry"

And you'll be bruised
And you'll be thrown
But you can sleep it off
And you'll feel crushed
And you can't breathe
But just let it go

You know this out of time
Please don't sit and listen
I know it's hard to say
But some things shouldn't stay

You'll shudder at a touch
You can't just excuse it
I'm sorry you saw that
I still saw it

"Only women bleed" saying it to excuse it
Worth is not prescribed, threats are not affection
Torn lips are not sex, control is not protection
Black eyes are not liner, i'm afraid you won't get it

I'm afraid
