You Wanted More Lyrics

Tonic

Love is tragic
Love is bold
You will always
Do what you are told

Love is hard
Love is strong
You will never say that you were wrong
I don't know when i got bitter
But love is surely better when it's gone

'cause you wanted more
More than i could give
More than i could handle
In a life that i can't live
You wanted more
More than i could bear
More than i could offer
For a love that isn't there

Love is color
Love is loud
Love is never saying you're too proud
Love is trusting
Love is honest
Love is not a hand to hold you down
I don't know when i got bitter
But love is surely better when it's gone

( ( chorus ) )

I got to pick me up when i am down
I got to get my feet back on the ground
I got to pick me up when i am down

( ( chorus ) )

You wanted more
More than i could love
More than i could offer
The harder you would shove
You wanted more
More than i could give
More than i could handle
In a life that i can't live
