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 thouch 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 girl friends
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
But 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
