I Love You More

More than the times 
You thought only of yourself
More than the days
You spent with someone else

More than the promises 
You couldn't keep
More than the nights
I couldn't sleep

More than the agony, more than the strife

More than the wrongs 
You failed to make right 

More than every mistake 
You ever made
More than any game 
You ever played

More than the hurt 
You made my heart endure
Despite everything
I loved you more

Now all I ask is you give me the same

Love me more than my sorrows 
Love me more than the pain
