More Than You
Defying Society's Standards: Embracing Authentic Love
Lyrics
I think too much
The speaker tends to overanalyze things.
I know too much
They possess extensive knowledge.
I try so hard to forget I'm not like everybody else
The speaker struggles to blend in with societal norms but finds solace in their partner's acceptance.
But you love me good
The partner loves the speaker profoundly.
So very good
The love received from the partner is exceptionally satisfying.
I don't have to live to standards when you're around
The presence of the partner alleviates the pressure of conforming to societal standards.
But I know what I know, and what I know, it eats me alive
Despite this love, the speaker is tormented by their knowledge and experiences.
I can't even try to act like I don't know that
The speaker cannot feign ignorance about their situation.
Society tells me what to do
Society dictates the speaker's actions, appearance, and behavior.
How to dress, how to act, and how to be cute
Social expectations include dressing, behaving, and looking cute.
But nobody knows what I've been through
The speaker's past and struggles are unknown to others.
I try not to care, I try not to lose
They attempt not to care or lose themselves in societal standards.
Myself in these standards that I don't choose
They feel pressured by standards they didn't choose.
Everyone thinks they know me more than you
Others believe they understand the speaker better than their partner does.
You treat me right
The partner treats the speaker exceptionally well.
I can't even lie
The speaker can't deceive about their partner's treatment.
Always protecting me from all the things that people say
The partner shields the speaker from hurtful remarks.
What if one day
Concern about the partner leaving.
You walk right away
Fear of the partner moving on, potentially changing the speaker.
Move on with your life, I don't think that I'd be the same
Anticipating personal change if the partner departs.
Cause with one touch, you make the pain go right away
The partner's touch eases the speaker's pain.
You need to stay. I need you in my life cause
The speaker urges the partner to stay for their own well-being.
Society tells me what to do
Society continues to dictate the speaker's actions.
How to dress, how to act, and how to be cute
Similar societal expectations reiterated.
But nobody knows what I've been through
Others are unaware of the speaker's struggles.
I try not to care, I try not to lose
Trying to maintain self-identity amidst societal pressures.
Myself in these standards that I don't choose
The speaker feels trapped in societal norms.
Everyone thinks they know me more than you
Others believe they understand the speaker more than the partner.
Ohhh
Expression of emotional intensity.
If you left me baby
The speaker would feel lost without the partner.
I'd be so lost in this world
Reinforcing the impact of the partner's presence.
Ohhh
Feeling alive due to the partner's influence.
You make me feel alive
Contrast between feeling alive with the partner and others being emotionally numb due to societal pressure.
When everyone else is walking around
Highlighting the impact of societal dictates on others' emotional state.
Dead because they let
The speaker observes others as emotionally dead due to societal influence.
Society tell them what to do
Reiteration of societal control over behavior and appearance.
How to dress, how to act, and how to be cute
Others are also pressured by societal expectations.
But nobody knows what I've been through
The speaker's attempt to resist conforming to societal standards.
I try not to care, I try not to lose
Struggle to maintain individuality against imposed standards.
Myself in these standards that I don't choose
Feeling misunderstood by those who think they know the speaker.
Everyone thinks they know me, know me
Repeated assertion of others' false understanding of the speaker.
Everyone thinks they know me, know me
Continuation of the theme of misunderstood identity.
Everyone thinks they know me more than you
Others falsely believe they understand the speaker better than the partner does.
