[Verse 1]
Baby we were so in love
Only one that I could trust
I would never give that up
There's no one like her
Knew you were my everything
Was so glad that you with me
Had to tell my family I found that girl

[Pre-Chorus]
Then out of nowhere you were gone
Without a reason why
So I'm here in this place by myself
All you had to do was try

[Chorus]
If you could see it through my eyes
It would explain the tears I've cried
Why did you walk out of my life?
Wasn't it clear to see that you were meant for me?
If you could see it through my eyes
You'd know the reason why I tried
So hard to never let love die
I wish that you could see, see it through my eyes

[Verse 2]
What am I supposed to do?
Just go on without you?
Easier said than done, I need some answers
I can't even lift my head
Thinking 'bout the things she said
Only thing that I have left is my love for her

[Pre-Chorus]
Then out of nowhere you were gone
Without a reason why
So I'm here in this place by myself
All you had to do was try

[Chorus]
If you could see it through my eyes
It would explain the tears I've cried
Why did you walk out of my life?
Wasn't it clear to see that you were meant for me?
If you could see it through my eyes
You'd know the reason why I tried
So hard to never let love die
I wish that you could see, see it through my eyes

[Bridge]
I'm hoping and praying that you will return
All my love is here waiting for you
Baby just open the door

[Chorus]
If you could see it through my eyes
It would explain the tears I've cried
Why did you walk out of my life?
Wasn't it clear to see that you were meant for me?
If you could see it through my eyes
You'd know the reason why I tried
So hard to never let love die
I wish that you could see, see it through my eyes
