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
to someone else's melody,
it wasn't really me,
somehow I took myself for granted.
(chorus)
In someone else's eyes,
I saw reflections of the girl I was,
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.

You were the sun,
and I was the one who just
revolved around you day and night,
you were my only light.
But if I were free,
maybe 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,
I saw reflections of the girl I was,
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.

I've got to show myself I can
still exist without a man
got to finally take control,
got to see myself as whole
I was lost inside your name,
and I'll never be the same,
till I find my way back home again,

In someone else's eyes, I saw reflections of
the girl I was,
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.
