More Than You Can Take

You can't break me apart today,
It doesn't matter how much I miss you today,
I'll be fine,
I'll have it all without you one day.

We had our dreams, and they were beautiful,
We got excited, we were young,
I don't regret meeting you,
I don't regret being with you,
I just regret being young and naive.

You were all I ever wanted,
and I guess, love is more then wanting,
I guess, real love means, you give more than you take.
Here I am, alone but content, in my own thoughts about what should have been.

What you heard was true,
I have someone new,
and yes, I smile at him the same way I smiled at you.
But this time, I mean it.

You gave me everything I wanted,
Except for you.
You promised me we'd fixed it all,
But love is more than empty promises,
It's about giving more than you take,
and you took everything,
and you took forever to make up your mind.

What you heard was true,
I have someone new,
and yes, I say "I love you" the same way I said it to you,
But this time, I mean it.

Now I know, love is more then wanting,
He taught me, real love means,
you give more than you take.
But love is more than empty promises,
It's about giving more than you take.
