14 Years

Written/Music by : Stradlin', Rose

Album : Use Your Illusion II
Guns N' Roses

I try and feel the sunshine
You bring the rain
You try and hold me down
With your complaints
You cry and and moan and complain
You whine an tear
Up to my neck in sorrow
The touch you bring

You don't just step inside to 14 years
So hard to keep my own head... That's what I say
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
Hanging 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
Gossips they trade
If they knew half the real thruth
What would they say
Well I'm past the point of concern
It's time to play
Thses 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...
