[Intro - Spoken by Axl]
It's a nice, happy song, kinda like a walk in the park, ah
Sun coming through your window in the morning and
It's a beautiful day and you've got nothing better to do than commit hara-kiri, so
Oh, you're into that, alright
This is called "Estranged"

[Verse 1]
When you're talkin' to yourself and nobody's home
You can fool yourself, you came in this world alone, alone

[Chorus]
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)

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
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, ay, hi-yi-yi
Ow!
[Verse 3]
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 mustn't hesitate

[Pre-Chorus]
If I'm to find my own way out
Still talkin' to myself and nobody's home, alone
Ow!

[Chorus]
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

[Refrain - Spoken by Axl]
Ladies and gentleman, on the keyboards, Mr. Dizzy Reed

[Verse 4]
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 any more, and what for?
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
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
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?
Ow, ah!

[Verse 5/Outro]
I'll never find anyone to replace you
Guess I'll have to make it through this time
Whoa, this time, ooh-ooh-ooh, without you
I knew the storm was getting closer
And all my friends said I was high
Seemed everything we've ever known's here
I never wanted it to die
