"Looking Through This Lens" lyrics
De'Adre Aziza & Original Broadway Cast of Redwood Lyrics
(from "Redwood (Original Broadway Cast Recording)" soundtrack)
[MEL:]
When you walked out, you don't know how scared I felt
For twenty years, you've had my heart
We've barely spent time apart
Now all I can do is try living life without you
And out of the blue, I see a new point of view:
Looking through this lens
I see a version of me whose alone but slowly
Finding who I am
Out on my own again
Don't know how our story ends
I have my pride, and it seems I've always tried
To get you to be more like me
That isn't fair, I'm sorry
That I make demands, always try to force your hand
Maybe you were right when you left that night
'Cause looking through this lens
Out on my own again
Maybe our story ends
Looking through this lens
When you walked out, you don't know how scared I felt
For twenty years, you've had my heart
We've barely spent time apart
Now all I can do is try living life without you
And out of the blue, I see a new point of view:
Looking through this lens
I see a version of me whose alone but slowly
Finding who I am
Out on my own again
Don't know how our story ends
I have my pride, and it seems I've always tried
To get you to be more like me
That isn't fair, I'm sorry
That I make demands, always try to force your hand
Maybe you were right when you left that night
'Cause looking through this lens
Out on my own again
Maybe our story ends
Looking through this lens
