But nothin' lasts forever in my dreams
Because you knew the way or so it seemed
At three, I still believed
That we would be becoming destiny
But you were movin' on to better things
At twenty-five, and still alive
Much longer than expected for a man
At twenty-five, all hope has died
And the glass of my intentions turns to sand
Five to six, a lie, a kiss
The secrets that were served we'd never say
Skip to eight, we called it fate
To live to let us die another day
Reflected in the barrel of a gun
Those who loved me burned up in the Sun
At twenty-five, and still alive
Much longer than expected for a man
At twenty-five, all hope has died
And the glass of my intentions turns to sand
From eleven-twelve, I held the future in my grasp
And all through my teens, I screamed that may not live much past
Twenty-one, two, three, four
Twenty-one, two, three, four
Twenty-one, two, three, four
At twenty-five, and still alive
Much longer than expected for a man
At twenty-five, all hope has died
And the glass of my intentions
The glass of my intentions
The glass of my intentions turns to sand
