(Verse 1)
I couldn’t give you what you needed Going out of my way just to reach it
This invisible bar don't you raise it
Higher than it is
I can’t keep running around to amuse you Baby that’s the kinda stuff I was used to And I was used to you
(Pre)
That made it, that made it harder to Say the things I really meant Leave you hanging on a thread
I didn’t mean it
Mean it when I said it
The words came out
Just like a rocket
I didn’t mean it
Mean it when I said it
The words came out
Just like a rocket
Just like a rocket
(Chorus)
I couldn’t fight for you
I was short in my time too Didn’t have a thing to prove I was short in my time too You always
Always had excuses
I was
Just about to loose it
(Verse 2)
You couldn't give me what I needed
But you didn't even try to achieve it
You just sat on your ass and kept drinking A drink stronger than before
Shouting me things I don't understand Babbling things like you’re still the man
I knew, I knew you
(Pre)
That made it harder to
Say the things I really meant Leave you hanging on a thread I didn’t mean it
Mean it when I said it
The words came out
Just like a rocket
I didn’t mean it
Mean it when I said it
The words came out
Just like a rocket
Just like a rocket
(Chorus)
I couldn’t fight for you
I was short in my time too Didn’t have a thing to prove I was short in my time too You always
Always had excuses
I was
Just about to loose it Always
Always had excuses
I was
Just about to loose it
