My Mother’s Eyes
[Verse 1]
I can’t believe you love me
After all the things I’ve done
I think I’ve been the devil
Since the day that I’ve turned one
Like when I stole your money
Just to buy a pack of gum
I know it wasn’t funny
Can’t believe I was so dumb
[Pre-Chorus]
I blame it on my age
But even now, I’m not so young
I’m still stuck in my ways
I can’t believe what I’ve become
Somehow, you feel the same
I guess that’s motherly love
Motherly love
Wish I could find the piece in me
To see the good things that you see
It’s not that easy
[Chorus]
But if I saw me through your eyes
Maybe I could find a way
To forgive all of the lies
And the stupid things I say
And if I could realize
That it’s your blood that I bleed
Maybe I could love myself
Like the way that you love me
[Post-Chorus]
If I saw me through your eyes
Your eyes…
Through your eyes…
Through my mother’s eyes
[Verse 2]
I can’t believe you love me
After all the things I’ve did
Like when I said
I hated you when we were in Madrid
Like when I didn’t answer
You cause I was on the road
But you cooked my favorite dinner
For me right when I get home
[Pre-Chorus]
I blame it on my age
But even now, I’m not so young
I’m still stuck in my ways
I can’t believe what I’ve become
Somehow, you feel the same
I guess that’s motherly love
Motherly love
Wish I could find the piece in me
To see the good things that you see
It’s not that easy
[Chorus]
But if I saw me through your eyes
Maybe I could find a way
To forgive all of the lies
And the stupid things I say
And if I could realize
That it’s your blood that I bleed
Maybe I could love myself
Like the way that you love me
[Post-Chorus]
If I saw me through your eyes
Your eyes…
Through your eyes…
Through my mother’s eyes
[Bridge]
Through my mother’s eyes
Through my mother’s eyes
Through my mother’s eyes
[Chorus]
But if I saw me through your eyes
Maybe I could find a way
To forgive all of the lies
And the stupid things I say
And if I could realize
That it’s your blood that I bleed
Maybe I could love myself
Like the way that you love me
[Post-Chorus]
If I saw me through your eyes
Your eyes…
Through your eyes…
Through my mother’s eyes
