More Than This

One Direction · Up All Night

I'm broken

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
