How many times did I pray to be like you? Walking with my head held high How many times did I pray to despise you? Told myself it was a lie How many times did I wallow in my shame? All the things I couldn't buy And how many times did I bury my feelings? Silenced my wounded cries But if I had the bluest eyes Maybe she'd notice me And if I had the bluest eyes Maybe she'd, maybe she'd, maybe she'd love me Born of self-hatred Born of self-contempt Pull the flesh from the bone Yes, be softly Yes, be clear With this burden I've walked on I'm no stranger to this pain Been in your home every day Oh, my mother She wiped your face But she pushed me out of the way And if I had the bluest eyes Maybe she'd notice me And if I had the bluest eyes That would take a hold on me If I had the bluest eyes Oh, and maybe And if I had the bluest eyes Maybe she'd, maybe she'd, maybe she'd love me guitar solo You just shattered my dreams Opened the seams Let all the blood run out It's the part of the scheme I could die from this thing The truth leaves no room for doubt I'm no stranger to this place Cut the flesh from the bone It's my station, I know my place I turn the wood into stone If I had the bluest eyes Maybe she'd notice me And if I had the bluest eyes That would take a hold on me If I had the bluest eyes Oh, and maybe And if I had the bluest eyes Maybe she'd, maybe she'd, maybe she'd love me If I had the bluest eyes Maybe she'd notice me And if I had the bluest eyes That would take a hold on me If I had the bluest eyes Oh, and maybe And if I had the bluest eyes
