Refusal To Understand

I know you're older
I know you're above me
And I know you had a reason
for everything you did.
I know you're friendly
I know you're recognised
I know you had a reason
to cut me down that night.

But did you ever stop to think:
That was my room too?
You cut me off.
But, hey, it's your right.

I know you're well liked
I know you're talented
I know you had a reason
Not to let me sing that song.
I know you're sociable
I know you're lovable
I know you had a reason
To say I was always in the wrong.

But did you ever stop to think
That I knew that song too?
You cut me off.
But, hey, it's your right.

And there are times I think I know
The truth that no one else knows.
In real life you're careless
In real life you're dangerous
In real life you're frightening
and full of rage.
And sometimes I even stop to think:
Can I get through to you?
You cut me off.
But, hey, it's your right.

I knew to follow.
I knew to listen.
I knew not to question
All the opinions you had.
And I knew not to cry
Just let the pain subside
Somehow I always managed
to let the hurt go.
And somewhere down that road
of what was supposed to be love...
I got lost.
And you never came back for me.

I'm still somewhere down that road
of what was supposed to be love...
