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 a 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 a 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 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, well

Yes there is another

Bulls**t 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
