	"twenty-five years"

i don't think you understand me
though i can't say i am surprised
i know i've cut right through you
with the black crystal light in my eyes
and regardless of what i've been saying
when i state my point of view
i'd like you to know, my darling
that it has nothing to do with you
because although i pull out my soap box
and start to rant and accuse and complain
if you reach for the heart that's within me
i know that truly there's no one to blame
i'm just tired of seeing before me
the light that's fading in front of my eyes
when a child tells parents of dreaming
they just shake their heads and sigh
because for me it's all about free will
and the choices we're given to make
so i think i've been running in circles
just for fear that i'd hear my heart break
