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 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...   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
