"October Rain"
When I was young,
Heck, I'm still young
I felt alone.
Guess I still am
Grew up too fast
Learned good things don't last
Tried being the best son
A mother could have
October Rain
Is coming down again
These cloudy skies
They make me feel so blue
October Rain
I can't get out of bed
Lost to the tapping on the tin roof
I drown in déjà vu
I somehow learned
To make people happy
Neglect myself
Forget who I am
Well, who am I
If not me & you?
You disappeared because
I treated you like myself
October Rain
Only myself to blame
These fallen leaves
They make me think of you
October Rain,
That old familiar pain
Birthdays spent nude in hotel rooms
The things we used to do
Guess that now you prefer me as a stranger
Was it true that you felt it in your bones?
You slam the door to your heart if it's in danger
Shielded your eyes from the mirror of your soul
I forced you to wait
I had to wait too
I'm not your concept of me
I'm who I am
Our bones ain't glass
Why not run the race?
We're now in flames
But we burn on through the rain
Guess that now you prefer me as a stranger
Was it true that you felt it in your bones?
You slam the door to your heart if it's in danger
Shielded your eyes from the mirror of your soul
