Black Eyes, Blue Tears Lyrics
Blue tears, give me freedom
No more rollin' with the punches
No more usin' or abusin'
I'd rather die standing
Than live on my knees
Begging please -- no more
Black eyes -- I don't need 'em
Blue tears -- gimme freedom
Black eyes -- all behind me
Blue tears'll never find me now
Finally -- I'm forever free to dream
No more cryin' in the corner
No excuses -- no more bruises
(Chorus)
Than live on my knees, begging please...
this song is about domestic abuse. i think it's sort of obvious in the lyrics, but i did hear that everytime this song is played in concerts and stuff, that money is donated to a fund for abused spouces. pretty cool
A great song. Shania stands up for women. Yay!
domestic abuse to the core - and great representation.
I think this is an extremely sad song and it's a serious issue these days too. I'm not even 15 yet, so i don't know too much about domestic abuse- I just hope it never happens to me and i feel bad for the women that it does happen to.
I'm gonna live on that: "I'd rather die standing than live on my knees." That is some strong shit...
i suffered from domestic abuse and finally when i got the courage to walk away i sat in my friends house listening to this song on reapeat and cried till i could cry no more this song help me regain my strength to get up dust myself off and carry on
Shania's mother was physically abused by both Shania's biological father as well as her step father. This song obviously stems from her mother's ordeals.
