someone else's eyes

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

in someone else's eyes

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

seein' 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

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 a girl i was who caught me by surprise

seein' a woman who's defined by you

i never realized

i can't love you

i can't love me in someone else's eyes

i gotta show myself i can still exist without a man

gotta finally take control

gotta 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

in someone else's eyes

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

seein' a woman who's defined by you

i never realized

when i

i can't

i and i will not

you can't make me

ooh

someone else's eyes

ooh

baby

baby

baby

till i find a way back home again

through someone else's eyes

i saw reflections of a girl i was

hey

caught me by surprise

seein' a woman who's defined by you

i never realized

i can't love you

i can't love you through someone else's eyes

ooh

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 wanna be with you

baby

through someones else's eyes

ooh

someone else's eyes

oh

baby

oh yeah

someone else's eyes

i wanna be by your side

god haven't you heard this lady's cry?
