Scene Five: Through Her Eyes (Live at Roseland Ballroom, New York City, NY, 8/30/2000) - Dream Theater

Lyrics by：James LaBrie/John Myung/John Petrucci/Jordan Rudess/Mike Portnoy

She never really had a chance

On that fateful moonlit night

Sacrificed without a fight

A victim of a 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

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
