Guns N' Roses – This I Love lyrics
And now I don't know why
She wouldn't say goodbye
But then it seems that I
Had seen it in her eyes
And it might not be wise
I'd still have to try
With all the love I have inside
I can't deny

I just can't let it die
Cause her heart's just like mine
And she holds her pain inside
So if you ask me why
She wouldn't say goodbye
I know somewhere inside
There is a special light
Still shining bright
And even on the darkest night
She can't deny

So if she's somewhere near me
I hope to God she hears me
There's no one else could ever make me feel
I'm so alive
I hoped she'd never leave me
Please God you must believe me
I've searched the universe and found myself
Within' her eyes

No matter how I try
They say it's all a lie
So what's the use of my
Confessions to a crime
Of passions that won't die
In my heart

So if she's somewhere near me
I hope to God she hears me
There's no one else could ever make me feel
I'm so alive
I hoped she'd never leave me
Please God you must believe me
I've searched the universe and found myself
Within' her eyes

Guitar Solo

So if she's somewhere near me
I hope to God she hears me
There's no one else could ever make me feel
I'm so alive
I hoped she'd never leave me
Please God you must believe me
I've searched the universe and found myself
Within' her eyes

And now I don't know why
She wouldn't say goodbye
It just might be that I
Had seen it in her eyes
And now it seems that I
Gave up my ghost of pride
I'll never say goodbye aaaeeeye

    This song was written by Axl in 1992/3 after he broke up with Stephanie Seymour and hence is about her. It's extremely emotional and in it he talks about not being able to let their love die because he believes she still loves him and holds a special light for him, even though she may try deny it. She was the love of Axl's life and "TWAT" is also about her, friends say he never ever got over her. In 2000 Axl stated himself that a few songs on the album were about Stephanie and he still has the love for her. He'll "never say goodbye."

    It's also believed that "Chinese Democracy" is a way for Axl to communicate with Dylan, Stephanie's son (don't cry video) who Axl loved and was a father figure to. When Axl and Stephanie split, believing she was cheating, Stephanie never let Axl see Dylan again and Axl's pain over this is shown in the video for estranged, which was written before Axl split with Stephanie but the video was made after they had just broke up and at the start Axl is on the cupboard sleeping and dreaming about himself with Dylan with real footage, poor man.

    Amazing song, really really really powerful.

    This song is amazing! The way I see it, its about her leaving him, but he is to proud to beg, and he is telling himself she is the same way, the only way he may have a chance is by giving up his ghost of pride, and beg. She is colder than him so she will never admit that she loves him. So he knows she loves him, but he knows she will never try to fix things up so he has to stop being so proud and beg forgiveness.

    I believe Axl is facing the same things from loosing "the One" because one time in our life we fall in love and when for some reason or another the relationship ends it leaves a hole in your heart that can never be filled by another, the relationship may be long gone and over with no hope of reconciliation but somewhere in the depths of the heart that 1st love still lingers, you can never forget your true love even if you move on with another.
