I see myself the way you used to see me
Through eyes that never stayed long enough
I learned to love my reflection in pieces
Only when it felt like I was enough
I stand in rooms full of mirrors and faces
Still looking for you in the glass
Still wondering if I exist differently
From your point of view your past
I tried to become who you wanted
Soft where you needed me strong
And now I don't know who I am anymore
Just who I was trying to be all along
(I, I, I, I, if I could)
If I could borrow your eyes for a second
Just to see if I mattered at all
Would I finally understand
Why you were so easy to lose and let me fall?
From your point of view, was I enough?
Or was I just easy to love?
From your point of view, did I stay
When it got hard, when I broke, when I changed?
From your point of view, do you remember me?
Or am I just a version you used to be?
I'm still trying to see myself through you
Just to know what was true
Point of view (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Was I real to you?
Point of view (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Or just passing through?
I replay every moment like evidence
Trying to prove I deserved to stay
I put myself on trial in my own head
For loving you the wrong way
You walked away like it was nothing
Like I was something you could replace
And I'm still standing at the scene of the crime
Tryna to read your face
I learned to doubt the sound of my own heart
To question every tear I cry
If I was broken or just unwanted
If I was too much or not enough, why?
(I, I, I, if I could)
If I could step into your silence
Would I finally feel some peace?
Or would I just learn the truth
That you never really saw me?
From your point of view, was I enough?
Or was I just easy to love?
From your point of view, did I stay
When it got hard, when I broke, when I changed?
From your point of view, do you remember me?
Or am I just a version you used to be?
I'm still trying to see myself through you
Just to know what was true
Point of view (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm tired of guessing now
Point of view (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tell me how
The problem was never my reflection
But the mirror you handed to me
Maybe I was whole all along
And you just couldn't see
I'm done asking who I was to you
Done shrinking to fit your eyes
I don't need your point of view anymore
To know I was worth the fight
So I look at myself without your shadow
Without your doubt, without your name
And for the first time in forever
I see someone I can finally stay
From your point of view, was I enough?
It doesn't matter I am now
From your point of view, did I stay?
I stayed for me, and that's allowed
From your point of view, do you remember me?
Maybe
But I remember me
I don't need to see myself through you
I finally see myself, too
Point of view
Mine is finally true
