[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
