I can't believe you 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 stuck in my ways

I can't believe what I've become

Somehow, you feel the same

I guess that's motherly love

Motherly love

Wish I could find the piece in me

To see the good things that you 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 it's your blood that I bleed

Maybe I could love myself

Like the way that you love me

If I saw me through your eyes

Your eyes

Through your eyes

Through my mother's eyes I can't believe you love me

After all the things I did

Like when I said I hated you when we were in Madrid

Like when I didn't answer you cause I was on the road

But you cooked my favourite dinner for me right when I get home

I blame it on my stress

Cause I've been feeling so high strung

I'm looking for excuses

And I know that isn't one

Somehow, you feel the same

I guess that's motherly love

Motherly love

Wish I could find the piece in me

To see the good things that you 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 it's your blood that I bleed

Maybe I could love myself

Like the way that you love me

If I saw me through your eyes

Your eyes

Through your 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 it's your blood that I bleed

Maybe I could love myself

Like the way that you love me

If I saw me through your eyes

Your eyes

Through your eyes

Through my mother's eyes
