14 Years

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 and 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, well 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 And 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, well 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 four 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 nothing's for free Oh, I tried to see it your way I tried to see it your way
