Music by Dream Theater, lyrics by John Petrucci

Nicholas:

   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

   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
