Love You More

(album: The Unmaking - 2015)

You said, “go and sin no more …”
Though my eyes could not meet Yours
I started running the third time the rooster crowed

You threw a party just for me
Though I squandered everything
I was blinded in the middle of the road

Climbed up in a tree to see You
Swallowed by the sea to flee You
Sold You for a little silver and a kiss

Killed a man to love his woman
Burned a bridge back to Your garden
Hung beside You while you took Your final breath

You've been loving me since time began
You're behind my every second chance

I love You
I'm trying to
Love You more
I'm ready
Please help me
Love You more

I keep thinking there's a limit
Sure I must be getting near it
When I've used up every pardon and regret

But You promise there is freedom
Gathered up the broken pieces
Scattered them as far as East is from the West

You've been loving me since time began
You're behind my every second chance

I love You
I'm trying to
Love You more
I'm ready
Please help me
Love You more

With all the sand that fills the hourglass
With every breath between my first and last

I love You
I'm trying to
Love You more
I'm ready
Please help me
Love You more
