Story Behind The Song

The idea for the song came when I was watching the weather segment of the local nightly newscast. The weatherman stated, "More and more we will see days like this less and less" (refering to the great temperatures in late fall). This sparked the concept

Song Description

A break-up song; a song of empowerment to move on to a better life after a difficult relationship.

Lyrics

Less is More

By J. Franklin Wise

Verse 1:
More and more I think about you
Less and less.
I'm feeling more like me again.
I have a change of attitude
And a new address,
Back on my own two feet again.
Don't be showing up at my front door,
'Cause when it comes to seeing you,
Less is more.

Chorus 1:
Less excuses, verbal abuses, and alibis.
More inspiration and determination for a better life.
Less broken promises,
More new dreams to explore.
Yeah, when it comes to you,
Less is more.
Yeah, less is more.

Verse 2:
More and more I think about you
Less and less,
The memories are leaving me.
After all that I've been through,
I must confess
Forgetting you is easy.
Your cheating ways are more than I bargained for.
Yeah, when it comes to dealing with you,
Less is more.

Chorus 2:
Less surprises and compromises for right and wrong.
More possibilities and opportunities on my own.
Less tension and heartache,
More freedom than before.
Yeah, when it comes to you,
Less is more.
Yeah, less is more.

Bridge:
So, it didn't work out with "what's her name".
That's why you're calling me, isn't it?
Without a doubt,
She figured it out-
What you're all about.

Less is more.
