No one ever told me when
I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
No one ever told me when
I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
The hardest part
This troubled heart
Has ever yet been through now
Was heal the scars
That got their start
Inside someone like you now
For had I known
Or I'd been shown
Back when how long it'd take me
To break the charms
That brought me harm
And all but would erase me
I never won
Or thought I could
No matter what you'd pay me
Replay the part
You stole my heart
I should have known you're crazy
If all I knew
Was that with you
I'd want someone to save me
It'd be enough
But just my luck
I fell in love and maybe
All that I wanted was
Now I know you better
You know I know better
Now I know you better
So bittersweet
This tragedy
Won't ask for absolution
This melody
Inside of me
Still searches for solution
A twist of faith
A change of heart
Cures my infatuation
A broken heart
Provides the spark
For my determination
No one ever told me when
I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
No one ever told me when
I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
All that I wanted was
Now I know you better
You know I know better
Now I know you better
I never wanted you to be so full of anger (anger)
I never wanted you to be somebody else
I never wanted you to be someone afraid to know themselves
I only wanted you to see things for yourself
All that I wanted was
Now I know you better
Now we all know better
All that I wanted was
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
(cont. thru verse)
If I were you
I'd manage to
Avoid the invitation
Of promised love
That can't keep up
With your adoration
Just use your head
And in the end
You'll find your inspiration
To choose your steps
And won't regret
This kind of aggravation
No one ever told me when
I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
No one ever told me when
I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
I Keep seeing that people dont like the song because slash wasnt in it, you recall last time slash doing a good solo or riff? ok Slash was a great guitarist and one of my favorites but that doesnt mean hes the best i love how he puts the soul in his music and the solo's but anyways this song is one of the best songs off Chinese Democracy, Look at the lyrics, there so deep and real easy to relate too just like the old GN'R im young, im 16 but i know everything about Guns N' Roses thats all i listen too well Slash had a good thing going till he quit and "Slash's Snakepit" failed and So Did "Velvet Revolver" well Look at that Guns n Roses still touring and making money while on the other hand slash is still gettin some benefits from back in the day with his shares on Apetite and Use your Illusions but still GN'R for life and cant wait for there next album in 2010 or 2011, And Axl Roses is 46 years old and still has the voice of what he had as a teen thats alot of talent and he has incredible vocal range, Best Frontman (86-09)
Also I understand what people are saying about wanting the apetite/UYI lineup (mainly slash duff and izzy) and liking this song but you can't really have both. I mean, I can't see these songs being made with those lineups

Just so you know... that's not Brian Carroll (aka "Buckethead") playing on this... even though I have a version of it with him playing and when I first heard it, I still thought it was him... the album version is Ron Thal (aka "Bumblefoot")... Buckethead is only on a couple songs on the album.

play this song on rock band earlier 2day and liked it the intro is cool this is the third song i only heard from GnR and i will have to say i like this one...............ps bobert nuck maaaaaaaaaaaad niiiiiiicccckkkk
Better then the orignal | Reviewer: Bill | 7/17/09
The orignal GnR is great dont get me wrong. But for having a guitarist with a bucket on his head and a singer who is like 50 this album in general is amazing. As for the song it is my second favorite on the album. The guitar works so well with the melody of Axls singing.
LOL, I know G N'R 'cuz of my parents! Thanks to them, I got addicted to this one. I play it almost everytime I come home from school. I like the music, and (I think) a lot of people can connect to the lyrics. Plus, it's in the long awaited Chinese Democracy Album! XD Oh god that took long, but the wait was worth it! <3
Yeah great album, I was a teen in the gnr era, so of course I prefer the stuff from my youth. My other thing is I kinda dont think gnr really is gnr without slash but axel still has a great voice and seems to have pulled it together. Certain songs have, even if just for a second, that old gunners sound I love so much, the verses in this one ring so many bells, just wish slash was there to back him up.
Better than I thought... | Reviewer: Stephanie | 5/1/09
At first I didn't really want to listen to the cd as I had heard some pretty negative things.
I know it's never going to even come close to the songs on Appetite but I like the sound and I don't feel as upset with how things turned out with Guns as I used to. I guess more power to Axl.
=O | Reviewer: Sizzeth | 3/28/09
I never really listened to G'n'R alot on their older stuff. Well except for the obvious (Sweet Child and Welcome to the Jungle) But I absolutely love this song. And it's easy to hear the influence Buckethead had. This song is really addicting, and I will always listen to it.
GnR Rocks!
AWESOME | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/23/09
I love the song,,, its like as much as you listen to it, more you get use to it,,, addictive, this is axl rose trade mark,
and Slash (with all the respect) can play his guitar with pop stars these days like fergie etc..looks like hes getting some attention there
