BORROW MY EYES (LYRICS)
(PRE CHORUS)
Borrow my eyes
see what I see
the beauty inside you
and what you mean to me
(VERSE 1)
Do you know the wounds you’ve healed
the scars you’ve erased
the pain I no longer feel
how you’re my only home base
you love my soul
you see my truth
you didn’t capture my essence
I willingly gave it to you
you quietly read
my fractured life story
the one no one else could see
I wish you could borrow
my eyes for an hour
to see what I see
(CHORUS)
There are times I wonder
why you don’t easily see
the love in my eyes
when you’re the breath that I breathe
you’re my fairytale hero
who swooped me from that ledge
when you first spoke to me
I believed what you said
my instincts were right
you show me every single day
your affection and patience
are always on display
(VERSE 2)
how do you thank someone
who has given their all
Who stands ready to catch you
in case you might fall
how do you thank someone who
goes above and beyond
who does the smallest things
without fanfare or song
a person who lives to make
your life better
a person who respects
the life we’ve built together
(PRE CHORUS)
Borrow my eyes
see what I see
the beauty inside you
and what you mean to me
(CHORUS)
There are times I wonder
why you don’t easily see
the love in my eyes
when you’re the breath that I breathe
you’re my fairytale hero
who swooped me from that ledge
when you first spoke to me
I believed the words that you said
my instincts were right
you show me every single day
your affection and patience
are always on display
(BRIDGE)
If I could borrow your eyes
I’d see the kindest person on earth
someone who loves
without expecting much in return
but if I could give you anything
I’d give you the world
you’re the sunshine in life
the umbrella when in rains
I notice the smallest things you do
you rarely complain
if you could see what I see
you’d say the same thing
(OUTRO CHORUS)
Borrow my eyes
see what I see
all that beauty inside you
is what sets a soul free
but most of all
you’d love the view
the most glorious landscape
Is how I see you
THE STORY BEHIND THE LYRICS:
Borrow My Eyes — Their Story
He sometimes watches her move through her day and wonders how much of herself she gives to the world around her.
She is naturally giving, not because she has forgotten herself, but because kindness is simply part of who she is. She knows who she is and takes care of herself, yet she notices what others need. In the smallest moments, she quietly does what she can, often without anyone realizing how much thought and love she has given.
And he loves her for it all.
When they first met, she saw something in him, too. She sensed the difficult road he had traveled and the pain he had carried. She didn’t try to rescue him or make his wounds her responsibility. She simply understood that someone who had been through so much might need a little more tenderness, patience, and loving care.
So she gave it freely.
And somewhere along the way, she became something he had never truly known before.
Home.
When he looks at her, he sees more than the woman he loves. He sees peace after the noise. Safety after uncertainty. A place where he can finally exhale and know that he belongs.
She helped him understand love in a way he may never have known without her.
And that is why he wishes he could lend her his eyes.
Just for a little while.
He wants her to see what he sees, the kindness she doesn’t always recognize in herself, the beauty that reaches far beyond what the world can see, and all the quiet things she does that make his life better.
He sees the woman who helped heal wounds she never created. The woman who loved him with patience and sincerity, saw his truth, and accepted him without asking him to become someone else.
Most of all, he sees home.
So through this song, he gives her the one gift that might finally help her understand his heart:
His eyes.
Because if she could see herself the way he sees her, she would finally understand just how deeply she is loved.
“Borrow My Eyes” is his thank you to the woman who gave him more than love; she gave him a place in this world where he finally feels he belongs.
