More Than This
One Direction · Now That's What I Call Music, Vol. 39 [2012]
Do you hear me
I'm blinded
Cause you are everything I see
I'm dancing, alone
I'm praying
That your heart will just turn around
And as I walk up to your door
My eye turns to face the floor
Cause I can't look you in the eyes and say
When he opens his arms
And holds you close tonight
It just won't feel right
Cause I can love you more than this, yeah
When he lays you down, I might just die inside
It just don't feel right
Cause I can love you more than this
Can love you more than this
If I'm louder
Would you see me?
Would you lay down in my arms and rescue me?
Cause we are, the same
You saved me, when you leave its gone again
And then I see you on the street
In his arms, I get weak
My body falls I'm on my knees
Praying
When he opens his arms
And holds you close tonight
It just won't feel right
Cause I can love you more than this, yeah
When he lays you down, I might just die inside
It just don't feel right
Cause I can love you more than this
I've never had the words to say
But now I'm asking you to stay
For a little while inside my arms
And as you close your eyes tonight
I pray that you will see the light
That's shining from the stars above
When he opens his arms
And holds you close tonight
It just won't feel right
Cause I can love you more than this
Cause I can love you more than this
When he lays you I might just die inside
It just don't feel right
Cause I can love you more than this, yeah
When he opens his arms
And holds you close tonight
It just won't feel right
Cause I can love you more than this
When he lays you, I might just die inside
It just don't feel right
Cause I can love you more than this
Can love you more than this
