Guns N Roses – There Was A Time
Broken glass and cigarettes, writing on the wall,
it was a bargain for the summer,and I thought I had it all.
I was the one who gave you everything, the one who took the fall,
you were the one who would do anything, the one who can’t recall.
Where she was while she was sleeping,in another woman’s bed,
or the doctors or the lawyers, or a stranger that she met.
If there’s nothing I can gain from this, or anything at all,
it’d be the knowledge that ya gave me, when I thought I’d heard it all.
It was a long time for you, it was a long time for me, it’d be a long time for anyone, but looks like it’s meant to be.
Social class and registers, cocaine in the hall,
all the way from California, on the way to your next call
to those non-negotiations, (to simulate a call)
all the bad of learning evils and your ways around the laws
that keep you locked up sitting pretty, on a pedestal of men
and now you’re sleeping like an angel, To any man who’d fit in
If there’s something I can make of this, or anything at all, it’d be the devil hates a loser and you thought you had it all.
It was a wrong time for you, it was a wrong time for me,
it was the wrong time for everyone but looks like I´ve got to see for myself
If I could go back in time to the place in my soul, there all alone,lonely tear drops, ooh, are calling you. but I don’t wanna know it now, ‘cause knowing you it won’t it change a damn thing. but there was a time.
yeah, there was a time, didn’t wanna know it all, didn’t wanna know it all and I don’t wanna know it now,
yeah, there was a time, didn’t wanna know it all, didn’t wanna know it all and I don’t wanna know it now,
Oh, I would do anything for you, there was a time, I would do anything for you, oh, I would do anything for you, there was a time.
There was a time, I would do anything for you, yeah there was a time, didn’t wanna know it all, didn’t wanna know it all, I don’t wanna know it now, didn’t wanna know it all, didn’t wanna know it all, I don’t wanna know it now
