Someone Else’s Eyes

[Verse 1]

This is my life, and it's my right to live

The way I want to live each day

That's what I want to say

And this is my song

And for too long I sang someone else's melody

It wasn't really me

Somehow I took myself for granted

In someone else's eyes

[Chorus]

I saw reflections of a girl I was who caught me by surprise

Seeing a woman who's defined by you, I never realized

I can't love you, I can't love me through someone else's eyes

[Verse 2]

You were the sun, I was the one who just

Revolved around you day and night

You were my only life, but if I were free

Baby, I'd take control of everything inside of me

Find who I want to be

I'd never take myself for granted

In someone else's eyes

[Chorus]

I saw reflections of a girl I was who caught me by surprise

Seeing a woman who's defined by you, I never realized

I can't love you, I can't love me through someone else's eyes

[Bridge]

I got to show myself I can still exist without a man

Got to finally take control, got to see myself as whole with you

Though you're not the one to blame, I was lost inside your name

And I'll never be the same 'til I find a way back home again

In someone else's eyes

[Chorus]

I saw reflections of a girl I was who caught me by surprise

Seeing a woman who's defined by you, I never realized

I can't love you, I can't love me through someone else's eyes

[Bridge]

Got to find my way back home again

Through someone else's eyes

[Chorus]

I saw reflections of a girl I was who caught me by surprise

Seeing a woman who's defined by you, I never realized

I can't love you, I can't love me through someone else's eyes

[Outro]

Ooh, someone, someone else's eyes, no baby, ooh

Someone else's eyes, can't do it, I can't do it

I, I love you, sweet baby, I want to be with you, baby

Through someone else's eyes, ooh

Someone else's eyes, oh baby

Ooh, oh yeah, someone else's eyes

I want to be by your side

Oh, but you hurt this lady's pride
