Scene Five: Through Her Eyes Lyrics - Dream Theater

(Present) 

She never really had a chance 

On that fateful moonlit night 

Sacrificed without a fight 

A victim of her circumstance 

Now that I've become aware 

And I've exposed this tragedy 

A sadness grows inside of me 

It all seems so unfair 

I'm learning all about my life 

By looking through her eyes 

Just beyond the churchyard gates 

Where the grass is overgrown 

I saw the writing on her stone 

I felt like I would suffocate

In loving memory of our child 

So innocent, eyes open wide 

I felt so empty as I cried 

Like part of me had died 

I'm learning all about my life 

By looking through her eyes 

And as her image 

Wandered through my head 

I wept just like a baby 

As I lay awake in bed 

And I know what it's like 

To lose someone you love 

And this felt just the same 

She 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 wife 

Photos 

I 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 last 

The door has opened wide 

I'm turning with the tide 

Looking through her eyes
