Devon Halliday - All the More

I made a list of who to be
I broke my body down, I took your favorite piece
And sold it for
A studio, some high heels and a dream
I come off like a hustler
To everyone I meet

I exorcised your love to a room that I never go in
But the walls swell and crack baby they're caving in

And now I simply love you all the more, all the more
Trying to kill this hope's a fucking chore
Strike me down, I wish you would
Cuz then I'll know the score
Until you do I'll love you like before, like before
Mm, like before, mm

I found a man to save my soul
He tried to bring me peace
But I still craved the war
And so I found another man whose fingers bruised my neck
But he too wanted love
Which I just could not respect

And so I walked for miles to your place where I stood keeping count
Of the times that you burned every branch I held out

But now I simply love you all the more, all the more
Trying to kill this hope's a fucking chore
Drag me back down, I wish you would
Cuz then I'll know the score
Until you do I'll love you like before, like before
Mm, like before, mm

I think that love's a sacred thing
I'm trying to remember
The good without the sting
But when I face the past again, the present can't compete
And all those months without you
Are blurred and bittersweet

So now I simply love you all the more
Stupid fucking heart can't be ignored

Pull me in closer and stab my back
Tell me you love me, just not like that
Cut up my bandages, fill them with salt
But they're my fucking wounds so it's not your fault
Pour me my medicine, spike it with blame
You're trying to cure me - I feel the same
Hold me too long till the taxi gives up
I don't have to stay, but I will if you want
Tell me it's over, you're ninety percent sure
Say it's over, I wish that it were
Break me and shatter me, shake your head tragically
Say you're not mad at me just that you have to be
Honest and tell me the score...
And when you do I'll love you like before, like before
