See yourself through my eyes

IF YOU COULD SEE YOURSELF

[INTRO — FEMALE LEAD, SPOKEN-SUNG WITH RADIO STATIC EFFECT]

“If you’re gonna talk down about yourself…
The one I am in love with…
You better be ready to have me—”

[SNAP]

[VERSE 1]

Hey, take-a second.
Take-a deep breath.
Inhale all the admiration.
That’s-beaming-off of me.

My darling, don’t misread my stare
(When I look at you like I can’t believe)
You could ever stand there
And say those things about yourself to me.

[PRE-CHORUS — SING-TALKING, BUILDING INTO FULL MELODY]

I just wanna grab your face
And have our eyes swap places—

[FULL SINGING]

Just for a moment
So you can see
Babe, how I’m seeing you
Living you every day…

[CHORUS — FULL VOCAL LIFT, MALE BACKING HARMONY]

If-you could-see yourSELF through my eyes—
[SOARING HIGHER NOTE ON “SELF”]

You’d never speak that way of yourself again.
You’d see the beauty you keep trying to hide,
The beautiful soul that I see within.

And if you speak unkindly
Of the heart I call mine,
I swear, my darling,
I’m gonna punch you out this time.

’Cause if you could see yourself
The way I do,
You’d wish you were in love
With you, too.

[VERSE 2]

If you keep speaking ugly
Of the person I adore,
I might have to remind you
What you’re worth a little more.

So I’m gonna take a picture
With my eyes tonight.
I’ll memorize every little detail
You’re always trying to hide.

The curve of your smile,
The light in your face,
The way your eyes meet mine
And make the whole world fade.

[PRE-CHORUS — FULLY SUNG, BUILDING BIGGER]

I just wanna grab your face
And have our eyes swap places.

Just for a moment
So you can finally see
Every little thing
That you can’t see alone.

Every reason why
I’m so damn grateful
You’re my home.

[CHORUS — BIGGER, LAYERED MALE HARMONIES]

If-you could-see yourSELF through my eyes—
[SOARING HIGHER NOTE ON “SELF”]

You’d never speak that way of yourself again.
You’d see the beauty you keep trying to hide,
The beautiful soul that I see within.

And if you speak unkindly
Of the heart I call mine,
I swear, my darling,
I’m gonna punch you out this time.

’Cause if you could see yourself
The way I do,
You’d wish you were in love
With you, too.

[BRIDGE — FULLY SUNG, NEVER SPOKEN]

Just let me borrow your eyes.

Press record…

So you can see yourself
The way that I do
All of the time.

Your hair falls over your eyes.
You bite your nails
When you’re worrying the most.

You never sit still
Because you’re afraid of wasting the day.

You take time to select the things
Everybody else doesn’t even think twice about—

Because you know
There’s value in taking your time
For better quality.

You read all the instructions twice.

You never give up
Even when it seems like failure
Has won the fight.

You make old things
Feel brand new.

You dance without music.
You sing out loud
Without a care.

And you make every second
Of every minute…

Worth living for.

[BUILDING VOCAL]

Now…

Do you see?

[FINAL CHORUS — BIGGEST, FULL BAND + ELECTRONIC DROP + MALE HARMONIES]

If you could see yourself through my eyes,
You’d finally know what I’ve known all along.

You’d see the person I’ve been looking at
Every time I’ve held you in my arms.

And if you could see yourself
The way I do,
You’d fall in love
With every part of you.

You’d stop being cruel
To the heart that I love.

You’d finally see
What I’ve always seen in you.

If you could see yourself
The way I do…

You’d wish you were in love
With you, too.

[OUTRO — SOFT, FULLY SUNG]

So take a deep breath…

And look at me.

Just for a second…

See what I see.

Because if you could see yourself
Through my eyes…

You’d finally understand

Why I love you…

The way I do.

Female-led alternative rock-pop with a male backing vocalist. Highly original, distinctive sonic identity with tasteful EDM/electronic elements woven naturally into the rock production. NOT bubblegum pop, NOT generic radio pop, NOT country, NOT country-pop. Cinematic, romantic, energetic, edgy, modern, and timeless. Powerful, clear female lead with emotional alternative-rock attitude, strong lower/mid range, controlled soaring notes. NO gritty, raspy, screaming, shrill, or excessively high vocals. Warm, deep male backing vocals ONLY for tasteful harmonies, never co-lead, especially in choruses. Intimate playful verses, rising pre-choruses, explosive melodic choruses. Blend alternative-rock guitars, live-feeling drums, bass, atmospheric synths, and electronic pulses. Tasteful EDM beat drops at key emotional moments. Bridge MUST be fully sung and melodic, NEVER spoken, recited, or rap. Strip back the bridge, then build dramatically into “Worth living for.” Final chorus: biggest moment
