The early 90s were a time of great change in the music world, with grunge and hip-hop starting to dominate the airwaves. Bands that ruled the 80s, like Bon Jovi, who had amassed a string of successful albums by the end of the decade, had to adapt or die. Bon Jovi opted for the former, as they proved on their fifth studio album, Keep The Faith. Not only did they change, however, they did so without losing their hard-rocking sound. Listen to Keep The Faith right now. The success of New Jersey and its numerous hit singles gave Jon Bon Jovi the freedom to explore other projects, in particular a solo album in the form of the Young Guns II soundtrack. Armed with the songwriting prowess of frequent collaborator Desmond Child, Bon Jovi attacked their new material ferociously. Most of the plus songs for the sessions were written by Bon Jovi himself, or the combination of Bon Jovi and Sambora, with Child and even Bryan chipping in with some contributions.

The last time I saw her Was the night she said goodbye She said that love's a stranger And it's sure to pass you by, yes she did As she packed up her belongings Baby wouldn't look me in the eye But I could see a tear roll off her face As we both tried so hard not to cry, she said. I never wanted the stars Never shot for the moon I like them right where they are All I wanted was you So baby just turn away Because I can't face the truth All I'm trying to say Is all I wanted was you. I tried so hard to remember Where, when, how, why? Love went away I tried to drown myself in pity But your memory kept on my mind, yes you did. I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings, baby All the things that money brings And the servants to paint the skies blue And I worked so hard seven days a week Built a fortress for your heart to keep If I could I'd wrap these words up for you, yeah. But never thought you were alone I filled the part of you with company But never made our house a home.

Bon Jovi commented, "The script was great: the movie wasn't. There is also an alternate version of the video that is just the band performing the song.

The song is featured on the band's Live From London video. Since then, the song in its original version has been occasionally performed during every tour.
