You Wanted More

Maybe he's saying love is a simple thing. People try to hard to define love and compare it to lust and all things associated with that. He just wanted to love a girl and she wanted something complicated?

Everyone has been there when you realize that your love is expecting emotionally. They "want more,more then I could give,more then I could handle,in a life that I can't live"...great song. :)

I think it's about a boy who truly loved a girl that just didn't get the picture. I'm not sure if she was to imature or what but in the end he's having to turn his back on her because no matter how hard he tried...it wasn't appreciated by her.

She wanted more than he could bear because she wanted so little and he couldn't help but give as much as possible. It's about respect. At least that's what I think the song is about since that's how my relationship with my man is right now....except I'm in his shoes.

This reminds me of this chick i used to date, she was such an b*** to me, and very high maintenance but i was crazy for her. I would break my back to get her things or take her somewhere and she never appreciated it, or if i bought her something expensive it wasn't the "right one" but some reason i was in love. ugh so glad that's over.

I think the song is about a man who got his heart broken and regrets his feeling for her. So here is my interpretation, enjoy!

Love Is Tragic Love Is Bold You Will Always Do What You Are Told (He thinks that love has been depressing for him and that this girl never thought for herself)

Love Is Hard Love Is Strong You Will Never Say That You Were Wrong (He feels that the girl treated him unfairly and denied her wrongdoing) I Don't Know When I Got Bitter But Love Is Surely Better When It's Gone (Basically, he is saying that this girl broke his heart in half and he wishes that love would never exist)

'Cause You Wanted More More Than I could Give More than I could handle In a life that I can't live (He realizes that she wanted more and nothing was ever good enough for her) You wanted more More than I could bear More than I could offer For a love that isn't there (This girl faked her feelings, by leading him on and pretending that she loved him)

Love is color Love is loud Love is never saying you're too proud (He feels that love isn't perfect and that it's vivid enough for him to see) Love is trusting Love is honest Love is not a hand that holds you down (He feels that love shouldn't be full of lies, which is what the girl was telling him the whole time)

I don't know when I got bitter But love is surely better when it's gone (Once again, he is saying that this girl broke his heart in half and he wishes that love would never exist)

'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 (Same as above for the 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 (He now knows that he must get over her and move on with his love life)

'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 (Same as above for the chorus)

You wanted more More than I could bear More than I could offer The harder you would shove (The lies kept piling up and he realizes that she's no longer "the one") You Wanted More More Than I could Give More than I could handle For a love that isn't there (He feels that nothing will ever be good enough for her and no longer loves her)

Perdiful song.

Perdiful song.

it's about how beutiful love is, or can be, and how [whoever he's singing about, maybe everyone] wanted more than that... and he can't bare that... i don't know if thats right, thats just how i see it...

i love this song.. it's so wonderful. the lyrics touch me.

Excellent song. If you could define love, which you can't, it's doing a decent job ^_^
