More Than I Love Myself
Sean Nicholas Savage Lyrics

Back when you were so cruel
In the past, when you behaved in a cruel manner towards me

And I was a fool
And I foolishly accepted your cruelty towards me

Like a grave growing daisies
Similar to how a grave grows flowers on it, despite the fact that it is a place of death, you were strangely sweet towards me despite your cruelty

You were so sweet and crazy
You were sweet and loving towards me, but also irrational and unpredictable

Back when I was so ugly
During a time when I felt emotionally or physically ugly

That you couldnt love me
A period where you were incapable of loving me at my lowest point

And the loneliness nearly killed you
Your own sense of loneliness and inability to love me almost caused your demise

How can I live with myself
I am unable to live with myself and my own mistakes

When I need you more?
Especially when I need you more than anything else in my life?

I need your body
I physically need you as a companion in my life

More than I need my own
More than I need my own body to function or exist properly

I need to live with you
I need to be with you, to have you in my life or under the same roof as I do, intimately

More than I need a home
More than I need shelter or a place to call my own

And if its over, its true
If our relationship is over, it is a painful fact that I have to accept

That I always loved you
I have always loved you despite your shortcomings as a partner or as a person

So its breaking my heart
It is emotionally exhausting or unbearable for me to consider the loss of you

When I miss the old you
When I miss the previous, happier version of you that I fell in love with

I saw you grinding your teeth
I observed you involuntarily grinding your teeth, perhaps due to emotional distress or anxiety

And I felt it too
I was able to empathize and emotionally sense your distress as well

In the dreams that Im flying
During times when I have dreams where I am flying through the air

Theres a reason I do
I believe that there is a significant reason why I experience these dreams that involve flying

How can I be a man
I struggle to fully become the confident and self-assured adult that I aspire to be

Now that youre alone there?
Especially with you living alone now?

What a painful routine we live in
We have allowed ourselves to live in a relationship that is consistently painful and emotionally draining

How do you care for yourself
How do you take care of yourself and prioritize self-care in a relationship that is heavily imbalanced and sometimes unhealthy?

When I need you more?
When I require you emotionally or physically more than anything else in my life?

I need your love
I require your love and affection

More than I need myself
More than I need myself to feel content or happy

I need your tenderness
I need your gentle touch and maternal care

More than I need to rest
More than I need rest or sleep to feel revitalized

And if its over its true
And if our love ends, it is an honest and unfortunate reality

That I always love you
My love for you will always exist despite any negative experiences or memories
