On March 25th, 2015, Zayn Malik announced he was to leave the band. Commenting on his exit from the band, he said "My life with One Direction has been more than I could ever have imagined. But, after five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band".
A Band Break-(up?) from March 2016
On Aug 23, 2015, The Sun newspaper in the UK reported that the band would "take a break" from March 2016, after they finish promoting their fifth studio album Made in the A.M.. A source said, "The guys have been together for five years, which is an incredible run for any boy band. They fully deserve to have at least a year to work on their own projects. There is absolutely no bad blood between them and they are all 100% behind the decision. It is definitely not a split and they fully intend to get back together at some time in the future."

One Direction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm blinded, 'cause you are everything I see,
I'm dancin' alone, I'm praying,
That your heart will just turn around,
And as I walk up to your door,
My head turns to face the floor,
'Cause I can't look you in the eyes and say,
When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight,
It just won't feel right,
'Cause I can't love you more than this, yeah,
When he lays you down,
I might just die inside,
It just don't feel right,
'Cause I can't love you more than this,
Can love you more than, this
If I'm louder, would you see me?
Would you lay down
In my arms and rescue me?
'Cause we are the same
You saved me,
When you leave it's gone again,
And when I see you on the street,
In his arms, I get weak,
My body fails, I'm on my knees,
Prayin',
When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight,
It just won't feel right,
'Cause I can't love you more than this, yeah,
When he lays you down,
I might just die inside,
It just don't feel right,
'Cause I can't love you more than this,
Can love you more than, this
I've never had the words to say,
But now I'm askin' you to stay
For a little while inside my arms,
And as you close your eyes tonight,
I pray that you will see the light,
That's shining from the stars above,
(And I say)
When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight,
It just won't feel right,
'Cause I can't love you more than this,
'Cause I can't love you more than this
When he lays you down,
I might just die inside,
It just don't feel right,
'Cause I can love you more than this, yeah,
When he opens his arms and hold you close tonight,
It just won't feel right,
'Cause I can love you more than this,
When he lays you down,
I might just die inside,
It just don't feel right,
'Cause I can't love you more than this,
Can't love you more than this
The lyrics of "More Than This" by One Direction reflect the painful realization of a person who has fallen deeply in love with someone who is already involved with another. The song starts with the singer admitting that he is broken and blind, and that the person he desires has become his everything. He's dancing alone and praying that his heart's desires perform a turnaround. He heads to their door and stares at the floor because he feels as if he cannot mere his love to them.
The chorus is the heart of the song, where the singer expresses that he cannot love her any more than this. He knows that he is not enough for her, and it pains him to see her with someone else. In the second verse, the singer pleads with her, asking if she can see him now that he is yelling out to her, begging for her rescue. He admits that they are the same in so many ways, and she saved him. However, when she disappears with the other man, he is back to feeling empty and alone.
The bridge is a desperate plea for her to stay, if even for a little while, inside of his arms. He begs that she sees the light that is shining from the stars above.
Overall, "More Than This" is a heartbreaking tale of unrequited love wherein the singer is trying to come to terms with the fact that he can't be with the person he loves because she is already taken. The song is a beautiful and emotional ballad that explores the pain of wanting something that you can never have.

@@melimel1223 Only 1 lifetime given, as after time on earth comes:
Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Cherish ageing,
being child
teen
adult
old
ANY ONE OF US IS ONLY ONCE an ageing being :
CHILD
TEEN
ADULT
OLD
1 lifetime 120 years long. How is 120 years not enough? Enough for what, sinning, being more sick and evil?
For a holy living 120 years is more then enough.
We all, truly live only once on this earth, buddhism is false, we come not back to “fix” our sins Repentance must take place in this lifetime, for in this lifetime we are sinners,
able and having the desire to do evil.
No more evil doings in heave, and on new earth = forever living holy.
No more evil doings in hell and in the lake of fire = forever in the flames, crying.
