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, 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

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, that

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

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

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

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
