More Than Me

David W Litwin - Songwriter

Story of a wild young woman who changes as life causes remolding, and the one that couldn't embrace the new woman she was forced to become. Lyrics: [verse 1] Carefree and untamed I first caught your eye The wild child who just wanted to fly You did all you could to pin me down And as love swept in, I came around Time heals wounds, but changes our stories As life and family brought on new worries [chorus] We started off strong Little tied us down I loved that life too Til’ I had to come around I took on alone Life’s responsibilities And found you loved what used to be More than me [verse 2] As you climbed the ladder I took care of the rest The bills, the house, the kids, I tried to do my best I had to change from the girl I’d been To mother they needed, what you hadn’t seen You needed to know me, as I started to change Embrace this new woman, who felt trapped in a cage [chorus] We started off strong Little tied us down I loved that life too Til’ I had to come around I took on alone Life’s responsibilities And found you loved what used to be More than me [verse 3] The kids grew up quick But you weren’t around I took them to recitals, while you ran around town I needed a partner who understood the new me Who sometimes wanted to fly, wanted to be free Time heals wounds, but shifts our direction While the woman I became still longed for affection [guitar solo] [bridge] You still want something that you helped disappear So I hope that this letter makes everything clear [chorus] We started off strong Little tied us down I loved that life too Til’ I had to come around I took on alone Life’s responsibilities And found you loved what used to be More than me
