Lyrics

[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 wanna 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
[Verse 2]
In someone else's eyes
I saw reflections of the girl I was
It caught me by surprise
Seein' a women who's defined by you
I never realized
I can't love you
I can't love me
Through someone else's eyes
[Verse 3]
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 wanna be
I'd never take myself for granted
In someone else's eyes
I saw reflections of the girl I was
It caught me by surprise
Seein' a women who's defined by you
I never realized
I can't love you
I can't love me
In someone else's eyes
[Verse 4]
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
Till I find a way back home again
[Verse 5]
In someone else's eyes
I saw reflections of the girl I was
It caught me by surprise
Seein' a women who's defined by you
I never realized
When I, I can not
And I will not
You can't make me
Oh, through someone else's eyes
[Verse 6]
Oh, baby, baby, baby
[Verse 7]
'Til I find a way back home again
Through someone else's eyes
I saw reflections of the girl I was
Hey, caught me by surprise
Seein' a women who's defined by you
I never realized
[Verse 8]
I can't love you
I can't love you
Through someone else's eyes, ooh
Someone else's eyes, oh, baby, ooh
Someone else's eyes, can't do it, can't do it
I, I love you, sweet baby
I wanna be with you, baby
Through someone else's eyes, ooh
Someone else's eyes, oh, baby
Oh, baby
Someone else's eyes
I wanna be by your side
God, haven't you heard this lady's cry?
Yeah, baby
