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 an tear

up to my neck in sorrow

the touch you bring

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 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
