Guns N' Roses - Estranged

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 twenty eight
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 through, 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

[gumercindobr]

Slash’s guitar is crying, it’s like a monster trying to come out in the song, and at Slash is letting it roar… it’s magic

[AnyoneCanTurnOnYou]

Possibly the best song by G'N'R

[tysonsutton]

Not only is this GnR’s best song, but the music and the way it was constructed by the rhythm section is on a completely different plane. Just an exquisite piece of work.

[musicianrock]

This is probably the best guns and roses song I ever heard, it gives me shiver every time I heard it.

[johncudahy]

One of the greatest songs ever recorded

[TheBrister]

These lyrics hit harder the older you get. I was only 6 when this album came out and I'm 36 now.

[dev_exe]

This song can never get old. I got raised with GNR and I'm beyond thankful for that

[myathtin]

I am 28 and I am at the darkest bottom of my life. I listen to this song every day to climb my way back.

[kslothy]

This song, particularly the second half, has owned a special place in my heart since I first heard it in 1991.
It has brought me through so much, and my heart feels the second half so deeply, there was a time I couldn't even listen to it.
One of my favorite songs of all time.
Guns and f uckin Roses!❤

[mesio]

This and coma are fucking masterpieces, their best works

[JoaoSilva-onod]

This is probably the only song over four minutes I always listen to from start to finish. Every single time.

[Atlas_Mohler]

Gotta love that Gibson les Paul sound, but the piano really shines on this track

[robertavila]

And you don't talk so loud
And you don't walk so proud

Any more, and what for

[aristidescordeiro]

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
What'll happen to you, baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see
One, two, three
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 supposed to find me lately
And 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, and it gets so hard to wait
When no one I know can seem to help me now
Old at heart, but I mustn'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
And 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
And you don't walk so proud
Anymore, and what for?
Well, I jumped into the river
Too many times to make it home
I'm out here on my own, and drifting all alone
If it doesn't show, give it time
To read between the lines
'Cause I see the storm is 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 through 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

[CousinFeetus]

This song is an example of their song writing skills when they were at their peak. This song is majorly under-appreciated . Rock Guitar music at it's finest.

Brasil Rio de Janeiro
Sou de 1972
Estraged. Umas das músicas mais lindas e bem construída do Guns n Roses.

Love it

[Nita-zfeq]

Thanks for asking for my hand when the Guns played this song on their concert Aron, I love you and the answer will always be yes.

[t.daniel]

Most people wouldn't pick this as a GnR great but this and Rocket Queen are masterpieces!

[Melvin]

When I'm depressed, I always listen to November Rain, Don't Cry, and Estranged back to back. By the end of Estranged, I end up feeling like life is beautiful and everything will be okay.
