More Than That

In 'More Than That,' Lissah Martins delivers a heartfelt message to someone trapped in a toxic relationship. The song opens with the narrator acknowledging the visible pain and tears of the person they care about. The lyrics, 'I can see that you've been crying / You can't hide it with a lie,' suggest that the person is trying to mask their suffering, but it's evident to the narrator. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the emotional turmoil caused by a deceitful partner who has made empty promises, as highlighted in the lines, 'I heard him promise you forever / But forever's come and gone.'

The chorus of the song is a powerful declaration of the narrator's genuine love and commitment. By stating, 'I will love you more than that / I won't say the words / Then take them back,' the narrator contrasts their sincerity with the false assurances given by the current partner. This promise of unwavering love is a plea for the person to recognize their worth and not settle for loneliness or unfulfilled promises. The repetition of 'I will love you more than that' serves as a reassuring mantra, emphasizing the narrator's dedication and the depth of their feelings.

The song also carries a sense of urgency and a call to action. The lines, 'Baby, you deserve much better / What's the use in holding on / Don't you see it's now or never,' urge the person to break free from the harmful relationship and embrace the possibility of a more fulfilling and loving connection. Lissah Martins uses this song to convey a message of self-worth, empowerment, and the importance of seeking genuine love over settling for less. The emotional depth and sincerity in the lyrics make 'More Than That' a poignant anthem for anyone struggling to leave a toxic relationship and find true love.
