I never really pondered on the lyrics of the song, even though I’ve kept hearing this on the radio some years back. It’s only after a short amusing talk with my friend Johnus, where he pointed it out to me that I realized what the song actually meant. Coincidental, because it applies to me so perfectly at this point in my life. Here is why:
Love is tragic
Love is bold
You will always do what you are told
Love is hard
Love is strong
You will never say that you were wrong
I dont know when I got bitter
Love is surely better when it’s gone
Because you wanted more
More than I could give
More than I could handle
And a life that I can’t live
You wanted more
More than I could bear
More than I could offer
And a love that isn’t there…
Love is color
Love is love
Love is never saying you’re too proud
Love is trusting
Love is honest
Love is not a hand that holds you down
I dont know when I got bitter
Love is surely better when it’s gone
Because you wanted more
More than I could handle
And a life that I can’t live
You wanted more
More than I could bear
More than I could offer
And a love that isn’t there
I gotta pick me up when I am down
I gotta get my feet back on the ground
I gotta pick me up when I am down
Tonic
You Wanted More
