Love You More

Original Song by Sarah Holdsworth

Ten years old, sitting at the counter

Waiting for my dad to come home

Had a bad day at school

Told by all those who rule

I'm not worth anything, how could I go on

Then an eight-year-old boy, eyes filled with joy

Asked why I was crying, told me I should stop crying

'Cause pretty girls don't need to cry

I didn't know it quite yet

How much that boy that I'd met

Would become a part of me

Now I sit here and think, babe

Oh, how could I love you more

I'm standing here, with a broken heart

As my tears fall on the floor

Oh, how could I love you more

I'd be lying if I told myself

I could go on in my life without you

Five years are gone, I'm standing in the stands now

Watching as the band plays our song

Walked in the concert as friends

I figured it out just then

That I'd loved you for forever and more

Months go by, all I wanna do is cry

Crazy fathers and trepidation

How do I get rid of this sensation

People exploit the situation saying

Now your knight can't save you now

But...

Oh, how could I love you more

I'm standing here, with a broken heart

As my tears fall on the floor

Oh, how could I love you more

I'd be lying if I told myself

I could go on in my life without you

I was okay before you

But I have changed ever since

It's so hard to be without you

This all just can't seem to end

Sixteen years old, sitting on my bed now

Eyes locked on the moon as I say

Oh, how could've I loved you more

I'm sitting here, with a shattered heart

As my tears soak the floor

Oh, how could've I loved you more

I'm lying here asking myself

How do I go on in my life without you
