[Verse 1: Liam]
Ooh
I'm broken, do you hear me?
I'm blinded 'cause you are everything I see
I'm dancing alone, I'm praying
That your heart will just turn around

[Pre-Chorus: Liam]
And as I walk up to your door
My head turns to face the floor
'Cause I can't look you in the eyes and say

[Chorus: Harry & Niall, Harry]
When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight
It just won't feel right
'Cause I can love you more than this, yeah
When he lays you down, I might just die inside
It just don't feel right
'Cause I can love you more than this
Can love you more than this

[Verse 2: Niall]
If I'm louder, would you see me?
Would you lay down in my arms and rescue me?
'Cause we are the same, you save me
When you leave, it's gone again

[Pre-Chorus: Louis]
And then I see you on the street
In his arms, I get weak
My body fails, I'm on my knees, praying

[Chorus: All & Harry]
When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight
It just won't feel right
'Cause I can love you more than this, yeah
When he lays you down, I might just die inside
It just don't feel right
'Cause I can love you more than this

[Bridge: Zayn, Zayn & Liam, Louis]
Yeah
I've never had the words to say
But now I'm asking you to stay for a little while inside my arms
And as you close your eyes tonight
I pray that you will see the light
That's shining from the stars above
And you say

[Chorus: Harry, All & Liam & (Zayn)]
When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight
It just won't feel right
'Cause I can love you more than this
'Cause I can love you more than this, yeah ('Cause I can love you more than this, yeah)
When he lays you down, I might just die inside
It just don't feel right
'Cause I can love you more than this, yeah
When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight (Holds you close)
It just won't feel right
'Cause I can love you more than this, yeah ('Cause I can love you more than this, yeah)
When he lays you down, I might just die inside (Okay)
It just don't feel right
'Cause I can love you more than this
Can love you more than this

One Direction

One Direction was an English-Irish pop band based in London, consisting of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and previously Zayn Malik. They signed with Simon Cowell’s record label Syco Records after being formed and finishing third in the seventh series of the British televised singing competition The X Factor in 2010. Check out their journey on the competition here.

Propelled to international success by the power of social media, their two albums Up All Night and Take Me Home, released in 2011 and 2012 respectively, broke several records, topped the charts of most major markets, and generated hit singles, including “What Makes You Beautiful” and “Live While We’re Young.”

Their third album, Midnight Memories, introduced a maturing sound. Singles including “Best Song Ever” and “Story of My Life” became smash hits. The music video for “Best Song Ever” even broke the one-day Vevo record, racking up 10.9 million views in 24 hours.
