Black Eye - Icie

It all started on the night of our honeymoon

Arguing back and forth about the wedding food

She got her Mum to cook but the fried rice was off

And that’s what set me off

The slap came hard yeah but I deserved it

I was out of line

I shouldn’t of been rude

Besides what was I supposed to do slap her back

Nah! This was my new wife, my new life

Moved into our new place and shared my concerns

Hun! Can we really afford rent here?

She said when you start earning more than me

That’s when your opinion I wanna hear

She wasn’t always this way

She used to smile everyday she was the life of the party

I guess things took a turn when she walked in and saw her Dad

Sleeping with another body

I spoke to Gabs about the situation

He told me she’s your wife put her in her place

So one day I came home, I tried to raise my voice

But her fist put me in my face

I’m out of options I don’t know what to do

And divorce ain’t a process i’m going through

Her mood swings change like the English weather

I really do hope things get better!

You made a fool of me

You pushed me to the edge

One day you’ll see

I tried to love you!

Confidence diminished

Starve a man of respect long enough and he’s finished

My hearts turning to stone

Is this love running dry

Is she Medusa in disguise

2 years in and we hardly speak, I'm feeling drained physically and mentally

But I meant what I said in them wedding vowels

To death do us part no I won’t throw in the towel

But I swear I’m only human, getting used to advances at work from Susan

She knows I’m married and I tell her often

I guess this just how affairs blossom

But treat a man right and he’ll never leave

Push him the edge and one day you’ll see

You made a fool of me

You pushed me to the edge

One day you’ll see

I tried to love you!

I told Susan be cautious of my wife

Told her never ever text my phone after midnight

So then why this night when my phones nowhere near me

Babes! Can you bring my phone over hear please?

The silence spoke clearly

Now she asking questions who’s Suzy

Flies into a jealous rage

Scissors in her hands make their way to my rib cage

I kick her to hallway

Hands round my throat I’m trying block off her airways

I’m so sorry that it’s got to end this way

Grip getting tighter couldn’t you just respect me

Lips turning blue God I’ve killed 2 babies!
