More Than That Lyrics

[Verse 1: Brian & AJ]
I can see that you've been crying
You can't hide it with a lie
What's the use in you denying
That what you have is wrong?
I heard him promise you forever
But forever's come and gone
Baby, he would say whatever
It takes to keep you blind
To the truth between the lines

[Chorus: All & Nick]
Oh, I will love you more than that
I won't say the words, then take them back
Don't give loneliness a chance
Baby, listen to me when I say
I will love you more than that

[Verse 2: Nick]
Baby, you deserve much better
What's the use in holding on?
Don't you see it's now or never
'Cause I just can't be friends
Baby, knowing in the end

[Chorus: All & Brian]
That I will love you more than that
I won't say the words, then take them back
(Can't take them back)
Don't give loneliness a chance
Baby, listen to me when I say (hey!)
[Bridge: All, AJ & Brian]
There's not a day that passes by
I don't wonder why we haven't tried
It's not too late to change your mind
So take my hand, don't say goodbye
I will love you more than that
I won't say the words, then take them back


[Chorus: All & Brian]
Oh, I will love you more than that
I won't say the words, (no-no) then take them back
Don't give loneliness a chance
Baby, listen to me when I say
I will love you more than that
Oh, I will love you more than that (more than that)
I won't say the words, then take them back (back)
Don't give loneliness a chance (a chance)
Baby, listen to me when I say
I will love you more than that

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
