my mother's eyes

Alec Benjamin

I can t believe u love me after all the things I ve done
I think I ve been the devil since the day that I 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

I blame it on my age but even now I m not so young
I m still stuk my ways I can t believe what I ve become
Somehow u feel the same I guess it s motherly love
Motherly love

Wish I could find a piece of me
To see the good things that u see
It s not that easy

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 s your blood that I bleed
Maybe I could love myself
Like the way that u love me

If I saw me through your eyes
Your eyes
Through your eyes
Through my mother s eyes

I can t believe u love me after all the things I did
Like when I said I hated u when we were in Madrid
Like when I didn t answer u coz I was on the road
But u cooked my fave dinner for me right
when I get home
I blame it on my stress
coz I ve been feeling so high strung
I m looking for excuses and I know that isn t one
Somehow u feel the same I guess it s motherly love
Motherly love

Wish I could find a piece of me
To see the good things that u see
It s not the easy

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 s your blood that I bleed
Maybe I could love myself
Like the way that u love me

If I saw me through your eyes
Your eyes
Through you eyes
Through my mother s eyes
Through my mother s eyes
Through my mother s eyes
Through my mother s eyes

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 s your blood that I bleed
Maybe I could love myself
Like the way that u love me

If I saw me through your eyes
Your eyes
Through you eyes
Through my mother s eyes
