Covered As: Estranged by The Beautiful Mistake
When you're talkin to yourself
And nobody's home
You can fool yourself
You came in this world alone
(Alone)
So nobody ever told you baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to you baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see
One, two
Old at heart but I'm only 28
And I'm much too young
To let love break my heart
Young at heart but it's getting much too late
To find ourselves so far apart

I don't know how you're s'posed
To find me lately
An what more could you ask from me
How could you say that I never needed you
When you took everything
Said you took everything from me

Young at heart an it gets so hard to wait
When no one I know can seem to help me now
Old at heart but I musn't hesitate
If I'm to find my own way out

Still talkin' to myself and nobody's home
(Alone)

So nobody ever told us baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to us baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see

When I find out all the reasons
Maybe I'll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life
Maybe I'll get it right next time
An now that you've been broken down
Got your head out of the clouds
You're back down on the ground
And you don't talk so loud
An you don't walk so proud
Any more, and what for

Well I jumped into the river too many times
to make it home
I'm out here on my own, an drifting all alone
If it doesn't show give it time
To read between the lines
'Cause I see the storm getting closer
And the waves they get so high
Seems everything We've ever known's here
Why must it drift away and die

I'll never find anyone to replace you
Guess I'll have to make it thru, this time
Oh this time
Without you

I knew the storm was getting closer
And all my friends said I was high
But everything we've ever known's here
I never wanted it to die

one of the only 9-minute songs i can actually listen to straight through and not get bored of. sick-ass guitar work from slash, this song is like a 9-minute solo. beautiful, multi-tiered epic.

this is such an under-rated song, its amazing how little credit this song gets considering how beautiful it is. listening to songs like this, november rain and don't cry makes me so angry because if the band had gathered all the best songs from the two Use Your Illusion albums and instead released them as ONE cohesive disc, it would have been the best rock record of the 90s, bar none [that's right, nevermind can blow me.] grr. estranged, november rain, dont cry, you could be mine, civil war... ugh, such a fucking waste.

One of the most ambitious pieces of work from gnr along side november rain, both songs are hauntingly beautiful, and completely voice unrequited love and love lost like no other Axl is truly a genius in his songwriting abilities, however controversial a figure he may be. I agree with Vash on all accounts. Bravo.

i never really realized until now that "now you dont walk so proud" part near the end is taken from Bob Dylans "Like a Rolling Stone"
