Rocket to Venus
Ira Losco Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't you get it?
I dont wanna talk no more
I tried to help but you ignored, every single Thing that i tried to say
Decided today that i'm gonna go my way
A million and one reasons to be mad at you when you feel the anger inside
Could you let me be what i have set out to be?

So i put myself on a rocket to venus with no Thoughts inside my head

And i tell myself i'm gonna believe this
better go than stay instead

Can't you see it doesnt work that way at all
Im not at your beck and call
I'm just showing you a different side of me
You knew i was there
You that that id wait here forever

So i put myself on a rocket to venus with no Thoughts inside my head
And i tell myself i'm gonna believe this
Better go than stay instead
So i put myself on a rocket to venus with no Thoughts inside my head

Here i am so far from home
Looking down now i'm all alone
If you had listened things wouldnt be so bad
Thered be nothing you could lose

Now here i am on a rocket to venus with no Thoughts inside my head
And i tell myself i'm gonna believe this
Better go than stay instead
Now here i am on a rocket to venus with no Thoughts inside my head

And i tell myself i'm gonna believe this
Better go than stay instead
