Из альбома: Use Your Illusion II
I try and feel the sunshine, you bring the rain
You try and hold me down with your complaints
You cry and moan and complain, you whine an tear
Up to my neck in sorrow, the touch you bring
You just don't step inside to, to 14 years
So hard to keep my own head, that's what I say
And you know, I've been the beggar, I've played the thief
I was the dog, they all tried to beat
But it's been 14 years of silence
It's been 14 years of pain
It's been 14 years that are gone forever
And I'll never have again
Your stupid girlfriends tell you that I'm to blame
Well they're all used-up has-beens, out of the game
This time I'll have the last word, you hear what I say
I tried to see it your way, it won't work today
You just don't step inside to 14 years
So hard to keep my own head, that's what I say
You know, I've been the dealer, hangin' on your street
I was the dog, they all tried to beat
But it's been 14 years of silence
It's been 14 years of pain
It's been 14 years that are gone forever
And I'll never have again
Bullshit and contemplation, gossip's their trade
If they knew half the real truth, what would they say
Well I'm past the point of concern, it's time to play
These last 4 years of madness sure put me straight
Don't get back 14 years in just one day
So hard to keep my own head, just go away
You know, just like a hooker she said nothin's for free
Oh I tried to see it your way, I tried to see it your way
