[Verse 1]
You like to hurt me, you know that you do
You like to think in some way that it's me and not you
But we know that isn't true
You like to have me jump and be good, but I don't want to do it
You don't know why I don't act the way you think I should
You thought they'd make me behave and submit, submit
What were you thinking?
'Cause I don't forget
You don't know why I won't give in
Hell with the pressure, I'm not caving in
You know that I got under your skin
You sold your soul but I won't let you win
You talk too much, you say I do
Difference is nobody cares about you

[Pre-Chorus]
You've got all the answers, you know everything
Why nobody asked you is a mystery to me

[Chorus]
I'm sorry for you, not sorry for me
You don't know who in the hell to or not to believe
I'm sorry for you, not sorry for me
You don't know who you can trust now or you should believe
You should believe
You don't know who you can trust now or you should believe

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
You close your eyes, all well and good
I'll kick your ass like I said that I would
You tell them stories they'd rather believe
Use and confuse them, they're numb and naive
Truth is the truth hurts, don't you agree?
It's harder to live with the truth about you
Than to live with the lies about me

[Pre-Chorus]
Nobody owes you not one god damn thing
You know where to put your, "Just shut up and sing"

[Chorus]
I'm sorry for you, not sorry for me
You don't know who in the hell to or not to believe
I'm sorry for you, not sorry for me
You chose to hurt those that love you and won't set them free
Won't set them free
You chose to hurt those that love you and won't set them free

[Outro]
You don't need anyone else to be sorry for you
You've got no heart
You can't see all that you've done for me
I know the reasons you tear me apart

Guns N' Roses was the most dangerous band in the world in the late 80s and early 90s. Led by singer Axl Rose and stylish guitarist Slash, they mixed the passion of blues, the heaviness of rock, and the attitude of punk, bringing forth a breath of fresh air to a music scene dominated by cheesy hair metal bands.

Their debut album, Appetite for Destruction, is the best selling debut of all-time. They outsold a headlining Aerosmith on their first major tour, released two double albums (Use Your Illusion I & II) simultaneously, and soon would play to audiences in excesses of 20,000 people.

However, cracks started forming in the band, as classic era drummer Steven Adler was fired from the band before the “Use Your Illusion” releases and founding rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin left abruptly during the ensuing tour. They were replaced by Matt Sorum and Gilby Clarke, respectively, with keyboardist Dizzy Reed joining the band and expanding the group’s sound.
