She never really had a chance
On that fateful moonlit night
Sacrificed without a fight
A victim of a circumstanceNow that I've become aware
And I've exposed this tragedy
A sadness grows inside of me
It all seems so unfairI'm learning all about my life
By looking through her eyesJust beyond the churchyard gates
Where the grass is overgrown
I saw the writing on her stone
I felt like I would suffocateIn loving memory of our child
So innocent, eyes open wide
I felt so empty as I cried
Like part of me had diedI'm learning all about my life
By looking through her eyesAnd as her image
Wandered through my head
I wept just like a baby
As I lay awake in bedAnd I know what it's like
To lose someone you love
And this felt just the sameShe wasn't given any choice
Desperation stole her voice
I've been given so much more in life
I've got a son, I've got a wifeI had to suffer one last time
To grieve for her and say goodbye
Relive the anguish of my past
To find out who I was at lastThe door has opened wide
I'm turning with the tide
Looking through her eyes
