Story Behind the Song
I was just playing about with a few chords one day, and this tune came shining through. The lyrics were once again a stab at every girl who ever rejected me (aaahhhhhh), It took me 5 minutes to get the basic tune working, but several weeks to perfect it and get the lyrics up to scratch. In the end, this version was recorded in about 3 takes.
Lyrics
Verse 1
I would have given the earth for you,
I’d have got down on my knees for you,
if you’d wanted me to.
And I, yeah I would have lied for you,
I’d have got into fights for you,
if you’d wanted me to.
Chorus
But I wasn’t enough,
‘Cos I couldn’t be
the man that I so badly wanted to be....
More, more, more,
more is all that you need.
More, more, more
than the man inside me.
Verse 2
And I would have brought you flowers every day,
I’d have loved you each and every way,
if you’d wanted me to.
Yeah I would have laid down my life for you,
I’d have done anything that you asked me to,
if you’d just asked me to.
Chorus
Break
And sometimes when I look up to the sky I can see your eyes,
burning poison holes through my soul.
I get down on my knees and I offer up a prayer,
Release me, from this misery....
Solo
Chorus * 2 and end
