SONG: “I Love You, But I Love Me More” Verse 1 You walked in like a storm I didn’t see coming, Pulled me close, whispered soft like you meant something. But your heart was a door you never let me through, And I kept trying to love the parts that weren’t true. Pre-Chorus I held on tight while you drifted away, You were here in your body, but your soul wouldn’t stay. Chorus I love you, but I love me more, I’m done waiting on a man who keeps walking out the door. Why’d you come for me when you knew you wouldn’t stay? Why open up my heart if all you wanted was to play? I love you, yeah, but I love me more — And that’s why I’m closing this door. Verse 2 You changed your tone like the weather on a bad day, Warm one minute, cold the next, pushing me away. You thought I wouldn’t feel the guilt you tried to hide, But baby, I read truth in the tremble of your pride. Pre-Chorus I gave you my steady, you gave me your doubt, And I’m done trying to love a man who keeps checking out. Chorus I love you, but I love me more, I’m done waiting on a man who keeps walking out the door. Why’d you come for me when you knew you wouldn’t stay? Why open up my heart if all you wanted was to play? I love you, yeah, but I love me more — And that’s why I’m closing this door. Bridge Maybe one day you’ll see what you lost, But healing my heart is worth any cost. You’ll chase a thrill, I’ll choose my peace, Your chaos ends here — my freedom’s released. Final Chorus I love you, but I love me more, I’m not breaking for a man who never knew what love was for. Why’d you come for me when you knew you wouldn’t stay? Why open up my heart if all you wanted was to play? I love you, yeah, but I love me more — And I’m not your option anymore. ---
