"14 Years"


I try and feel the sunshine
You bring the rain 
You try and hold me down 
With your complains 
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 
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 
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
