Through My Eyes

I wasn't the greatest guy back then

But mama raised me to be a gentleman

Through high school days the bullies made me small Some people never

liked my face at all

But a true friend pulled me from

the dark

(from the dark)

I used to hang with a bad,

heavy crowd

Drinking and smoking, heading on down

Thought I was stuck in that circle forever But I found real

friends and things got better Through the trials,

I matured

and I grew

(so much better now)

Then came the summer my brotherly friend Almost met a sudden,

tragic end It scared me deep,

trying to heal my heart From a toxic love that tore me

apart But life

keeps moving on

Then I met you when I wasn't even looking

Asked for your number,

you said no but we kept talking

My cousin hooked it up,

we went on a date And suddenly I fell in love,

it must be fate Every time I look in your eyes,

I fall

again

(every single time)

Senior year and my friends have all gone

On their missions while I carry on I'm following steps,

trying to be there for others Skipped my own dance for her,

like no other Her high school homecoming

was

the sweetest night

Just wanted to hold her for her very first dance Looking in

her eyes, happy I took the chance No regrets,

my life goes on

with you (with you)
