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 the 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 the 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 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
In someone else's eyes
I saw reflections of the 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 my way back home again
Through someone else's eyes
I saw reflections of the 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 me 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 someone else's eyes, ooh
Someone else's eyes, oh, baby
Oh yeah, someone else's eyes
