Story Behind The Song
This is more about divorce than breaking up. Watched a few marriages just fall apart. These were people very close to me. Wanted to explore the idea that "all you need is love" is one of the biggest lies every perpetrated on mankind. And the 20th century is proof of that.

Lyrics
More love
Your love
Was enough to make me crazy for love
Long nights
Endless fights
It was an enigmatic notion
I don't feel it, feel it
But it was fun while it lasted
By the way, I tried to love you
But love wasn't good enough
You would speak of something perfect
And that's what I'm dreaming of
More love...
Pure Love...
The cure that ends the suffering of all man
More love, I've heard it, but it's not real
Cause it's not love you feel
Have you seen it, seen it?
Was it something fantastic?
By the way, I tried to love you
But love wasn't good enough
You would speak of something perfect
And that's what I'm dreaming of
By the way, I tried to love you
But no one had shown me how
"Love one another" is a cup we've emptied
And that's why we're dying now
