You needed to be there

You  needed to be there
I tried to tell you how I felt
I was talking to a brick wall
Speaking like a welt
Suffering sympathies
Like an angry Celt
Suffice it to say
You needed to be there

I used to owe you something
I'll remember it in time
If you break the last straw
I can drink my whisky and lime
It reminds me of a story
That happened to me but hey
Let's just say
You needed to be there

There was this man I know he owned a horse
It was a force of nature but it couldn't last the course
It ran off one day, while in it's prime
I thought it belonged to you
But found out it was mine
You should have known better since it was munching your hay
Let's just say
You needed to be there

All the times I needed you
Where were you in my prime?
All the days, the long hours of walking
The ticking tickets, the licking limes
If anyone says I'm bitter they better
Chew over my crime
Let's just say
You needed to be there
