More Than This Lyrics

I've burned a hole in, in the map I made
And I'm not sure what I missed
And I just make the same mistakes
Can I be more than this?

If this is all, if this is all we ever were
At least I loved enough to hurt
Enough to hurt

I played a fool, yeah I played a losing game
And let go of my innocence
And I don't know, I'll never be the same
Can I just be more than this? more than this?

If this is all, if this is all we ever were
At least I loved enough to hurt
Enough to hurt

I was standing in the rain, had my face in the mirror
And made nothing into bliss
And I found losing was just a trend
Yeah is there more than this?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this is a song about hopeful regret. Regret that the speaker didn't do enough in the time available or with what he or he had but hoping and questioning whether there is more than this, whether or not there is more to life than what has already been experienced.

I think this song, is about a relationship and this person, has made the same mistakes in one relationship and is doing it again, but they have loved more so they know how it feels already and they aren't going to be too bad. It is also about self expectations of the person who doubts they can be anything more than they are and that they are always losing out on life and they need to know if there is more to do than just lose
