Lyrics:

(Stradlin / Rose)





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 dont step inside to 14 years

So hard to keep my own head... thats what I say

You know...Ive been the beggar...

Ive played the thief

I was the dog...they all tried to beat





But its been

14 years of silence

Its been

14 years of pain

Its been

14 years that are gone forever

And Ill never have again





Your stupid girlfriends tell you

That Im to blame

Well theyre all used-up has-beens

Out of the game

This time Ill have the last word

You hear what I say

I tried to see it your way

It wont work today

You just dont step inside to 14 years

So hard to keep my own head...thats what I say

You know...Ive been the dealer...

Hangin on your street

I was the dog...they all tried to beat





But its been

14 years of silence

Its been

14 years of pain

Its been

14 years that are gone forever

And Ill never have again





Bullshit and contemplation

Gossips their trade

If they knew half the real truth

What would they say

Well Im past the point of concern

Its time to play

These last 4 years of madness

Sure put me straight

Dont 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

Nothins for free

Oh I tried to see it your way

I tried to see it your way
