A Little More Lyrics – Ed Sheeran

A Little More Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
The speaker feels unfairly blamed, like they’re being treated as the reason someone’s life went wrong. But in reality, the damage was already there before they even showed up. They’re saying that some things are already messed up from the start, and they’re tired of being pushed too far. It’s a clear message: enough is enough.

[Pre-Chorus]
Even though they wish they didn’t still care, they can’t help it. The pain caused by this person runs deep, and no one really knows just how bad things got. The speaker wonders if the other person ever feels sorry or guilty. Deep down, they wish they could be the bigger person and wish them well, but they just can’t.

[Chorus]
There was a time when the speaker truly loved this person, but now that love has turned into growing hatred. Each day, the anger increases, and life feels lighter without them. The person always blames their past and avoids taking responsibility. The speaker doesn’t call them “crazy” outright, but suggests they might have something deeper going on. Despite once loving them deeply, that feeling is completely fading, being replaced by stronger and stronger resentment with each passing day.

[Verse 2]
The speaker wishes this person would take a good look at themselves and see that they’re the real problem. They call them out harshly, saying they’re selfish and always blaming others for their own mess. The speaker used to be there for them when they were younger, thinking it was love and support, but now realizes it was manipulation. As an adult, they’ve woken up to the truth and are done trying to fix things. They’ve closed the door for good. They throw all those fake apologies away and ask the person to stop causing problems for others too, especially their own family. They’ve created enough trouble for their dad and sister, and it’s time they take responsibility for their behavior and stop dragging people into their chaos.

[Pre-Chorus]
Even though life is short and we all die someday, the speaker makes it clear—they don’t ever want to see this person again before that day comes.

[Chorus]
The speaker reflects again on how love has completely turned into hate. Day by day, the bitterness gets stronger, and they feel freer now that the person is out of their life. But the other person keeps blaming their past and refuses to own up to their actions. The speaker holds back from using harsh labels, but it’s obvious they think something’s seriously wrong. What once was love has completely died out, replaced by an overwhelming and growing anger.

[Bridge]
Even after everything, the speaker still feels a lot—more than they’d like to admit. The pain still lingers, and not many people truly understand how much they’ve suffered. They sometimes wonder if the other person has even a hint of regret. But no matter how hard they try, they can’t find it in themselves to wish them well.

[Chorus]
Just like before, the speaker repeats the painful shift from love to hate. Day by day, they feel more free, but also more furious. The blame-shifting and emotional damage are still fresh in their mind. They feel the person hides behind excuses about their past, and while they don’t outright call them crazy, they’re clearly fed up. The speaker’s love is completely gone, replaced by deeper and deeper hate every single day.

[Outro]
Hmm-mm-mm (This soft hum suggests a quiet end, maybe reflecting exhaustion, resignation, or simply nothing left to say.)
