Ballerini, Kelsea - I Want More Lyrics

This song is helping me to grieve the end of a toxic relationship with someone mentally ill. I couldn't even cry til I heard this

😃🐹

The feels

I discarded the (now), xNarc. Filed a PFA after the physical abuse struck and I ‘didn’t know me anymore’ via his lies and manipulation. (He was a felon posing as an investor. Met him via business). Took almost two years, a victim only knows how this can happen to them. An outsider has no clue the steps a narc takes while wearing that mask... then we’re isolated from friends, threatened with violence if we dare leave, we’ve gone broke, no where to turn, damaged beyond repair. He’s now rotting in prison. This is my song I listen to and have used the title on some passwords! I get it! I boxed that Mousey me (he made of me), to a pulp!

Man can I relate to this song. I fell deeply, truly, madly in love with my husband. Like Johnny and June, as the song says. Only, I never saw that the way I loved him was never the way he loved me. He was manipulative, a narcissist, controlling, but I couldn't see it. I loved him so much, I just refused REFUSED to see it or acknowledge it. He spends his time hunting, playing with RC stuff, going places with his friends while I stayed at home, isolated and alone? It's my fault I'm not as pretty as I once was, I've gotten fat, I talk too loud and too much. I'd just ruin it for him. He spends thousands of dollars on whatever new trinket his heart desired while I begged for permission to buy groceries, used clothes, things for my children? Well, he does work hard for his money. He has to support and take care of all of us alone, since he doesn't want me to work. he has the right to spend his money as he sees fit. He never had people over because he was embarrassed at how messy the house always was? It's my fault. I'm a terrible housekeeper. I always have been. It's not too much to ask that I clean up after myself and three children and him as well. It's not that hard to clean up his dirty clothes scattered all over the house, from room to room, that's just how he takes his clothes off. Yes, he leaves half full soda cans all over the place, but how hard should it be for me to throw them all away, ONCE he's done with them. I just have to stop being a little idiot and throwing away the wrong can. And really, when he brings in a sink full of dirty, moldy, nasty dishes from his car after taking his lunch to work all week, I need to get my butt out in the kitchen and run the dishwater and pour in some bleach so the smell doesn't bother him while he plays his video games. Can't blame him for getting mad about that. After 25 years of undiagnosed PTSD, anxiety and severe depression, I finally had a mental breakdown and ended up in the hospital on suicide watch. He proceeded to have an affair with some slut he'd been playing that stupid WOW with. After that, my mother had to be put in a nursing home for severe health problems. Two months later, she died. Less than 2 weeks later he admitted to his affair and two weeks later, he left me and moved in with her. I was so lost without him, I honestly thought I'd die. Literally. Die. It's been a long road back. I'd spent so long being someone else, I literally had no idea who I was anymore. I was no one without him. Slowly, I'm beginning to remember that I had a life before him. And I'm finding I can have a life after him.

This is my favorite song ever♡♡♡

I would change the lyrics FROM:
FROM: I didn't want to lose my friends, but now it's hard to even find them. It's what you wanted, ain't it? It's what you wanted.
TO: I didn't want to lose myself, but now it's hard to even recognize me. It's what you wanted, ain't it? It's what you wanted.

Why not both? I get what your saying but she is saying that she didn't hang out with her friends as much cause she was wasting her time with the guy. So her lyrics are accurate

Both lyrics fit but I get the friend part. I lost 99.9% of mine. (Only 1 remained) and same with family. One standing. Isolation is a narc abuser goal. It’s the victims core support that could cause the victim to smarten up before the Narc achieves the ruination of his victim. Toxic! But a GREAT SONG

@Lexi Lee It is a great song! I love it. And both lyrics do fit. However, in my case, I separated myself from friends and family, although, I wasn't ever really close to begin with. I guess, you could say that I don't trust people, because I grew up knowing what narcissism was intuitively.


I knew the narcissist's goal was isolation. I have lived in narcissistic environments. So, I was familiar. However, I fell for it and moved 1 and a half hours away. So, instead of separating me from friends, I was a loner, anyway, but he separated me from all my creativity and belongings. I created a very creative living environment with colorful walls where I live and I like to do some creative stuff with my life.


He wouldn't let me do anything creative with the living environment. Living with him, if I had a creative idea, he was like you can't touch this, you can't touch that, because it's not your living environment. Even though I lived there, it wasn't my house. They just wanted me there to separate me from family (isolation) and then, bully and abuse me and gaslight me (for money). The narc I was with was very irresponsible and wanted to use me for money. The catch was that he acted and responded like he didn't like me and that we weren't in a relationship together, but yet expected relationship things (cooking, cleaning, picking up after him, vacuuming, washing towels, clothes, the bedding, making the bed) and acted like we were in a business deal instead and that I owed him for all the things he was doing for me (except he wasn't doing it) well, physically he was, but (it was his mom's money) so, she was giving him money to spend and (he was acting, pretending) as if it was his money and that I owed him (for what he was doing, but it was actually her), therefore, he was not stepping up, and therefore, there was no relationship, because not only was he acting and responding like he didn't like me, but also expecting (girlfriend duties) (cooking, cleaning, laundry) despite the fact that he wasn't contributing anything, (not money wise, not emotions, not spiritually, not in any way).


I guess, in a narc's mind, definitely in his mind, I was just there to fill a role. Not to have a relationship with because we have nothing in common and he wouldn't change to have anything in common or even communicate with me. There was no communication. If there was honest communication then, you would think over-time some individuals would become more like each other and find common ground. However, in this case, it was all lies, lies, lies. I was begging for the truth and to feel like we had something real. However, when I confronted him with the truth, there was only lies in response and how he's perfect and no accountability. So, therefore, there was no real connection, because he couldn't get real. He couldn't face himself and instead held up a fake mirror of who he was which was a lie and not the truth and I was not going to continue to help (enable) that behavior because I was trying to stop that behavior and it was his mom who was behind the scenes giving him money and telling him what to do in a relationship with me, i.e. he wasn't smart and she was telling him what to say, so, therefore, I was having conversations with her, not him, even though she wasn't there. It was very frustrating and I was trying to get through to him that "he doesn't know anything" and therefore, he needs others, but he's depending on his mom, and in my opinion, she was leading him down the wrong path, by teaching him to manipulate others for money, just because she didn't want to stand up to him and tell him no, she instead says, it's okay, you're fine, you've done nothing wrong, and continues to abuse me and enable him.

Song reminds me of my 24 year marriage . Abusive by wife constantly . Had 2 kids with her and after big break up in 2004 , changed how close I let people into my life . Took a long time to get over it all . Heading into 2020 at 60 years old and been on my own for years . This song gives you strength , we sometimes need to regain . I still keep a smile on my face to this day and refuse to change the person I became . I often wonder why I am even alone . The guy that would do anything for his woman , has kept in good shape . Well I have my great tiny Chihuahua Freddy anyway !

This is now my Anthem, my ex was toxic as hell and I'm glad I finally got away from it.

My favorite song

Don't let anyone change you, you all have your own beautiful personalities! Don't let them break you!

I want all day I like it a lot

I sent this to my ex husband and he FINALLY got the point! Thank You Kelsea!! Awesome song! It's My Anthem!!

I got out! You can too! Life is beautiful ❤️❣️

Your the best

Thank you 🙏🏾

Though this is sung from the perspective of a traditionally abusive relationship, I've felt empowered by it through a different interpretation.

Just as Kelsea boxes against herself, you can have toxic habits/relationships with yourself, too. Anxious or depressed thoughts can cripple you, keep you from your dreams and the things that you love. They can also act as a false comfort you grow used to living with.

I'm on medication now, because I will not rest until my depression is dead. Lost too many years of my life to this beast and I won't lose any more.

Fantastic song.

This speaks to me about dealing with depression and low self esteem, stemming from a toxic work environment I suppose. I was glad to reconnect with a driven energetic part of me.

I love her attitude in this it’s just amazing

I miss me more, still standing getting better every day, youve lost big time .... I MISS ME MORE

This has been getting me through Hell. I've had a long pattern of trauma- and I am an extremely sensitive person. My soon-to-be-ex husband has a very poisonous and dangerous personality and health issue. I left last month. This song is so powerful, and I've had it on repeat this morning while I write and paint... Kudos, Ms. Ballerini. You are giving voice to DV and how it eats at us. Thanks for reminding me to bring me back!!!!!

Oh my god that's really good!😆😆😆😆😆😆You go girl.😃😀😁

This is how i feel i had a big brake up and sang this to him and he said sorry i said nope😂😂

I missed me more.. nice to be me once again 💜 dv survivor love will never hurt again

Thanks Kelsey for making such a kick butt get up song
This song helped to snap me out of my funk of my horrible breakup and I loved how your video reminded me to go chase after my dreams. I'm using this song as part of playlist as I go and Marie Kondo my inner self!
Want to be that bad ass you show me in this video

Get it girl show him who's boss

Best song ever

So much happiness. 😎🤩🤩

Beautiful woman and a great song. Keep it up

0:54 - why does that look like Tris from Divergent?

Yessss!!!! Like a badass!!! Hahaha

It’s really hard to get into a “story” if the person in that story isn’t at least a little convincing - the “boxing” theme here is not working, it couldn’t be any more glaringly obvious that she didn’t prepare AT ALL for the role of her boxing character - it’s just really, really that bad. I mean seriously? It’s your music video that will be out forever, she couldn’t just get even ONE hour of basic boxing instruction before making a music video where the story is literally about an amateur female fighter coming up hungry?!? So close! Why go 99% of the way and then fizzle out on some small details? ...just sayin’

Miss me more,because I think no miuntain is higher than ourself.We will always miss the people who effort to our dream.We enjoy it through others think it very tired,they don't know the pleasure of sweat,this is the happy of insisting on do ourself protagonist.

My absolute favorite song ever

Yea, it’s poppy but fuck, if it ain’t a great song

I was in a five month relationship with my ex, and then after that he broke up with me cuz he had too, but he did not want to break up with me but he had to and I cried for days cuz I really loved him, and he was a great guy and all, but now we are back together and we’ve lasted for nine days and I hope we make it this time, his name is kamdin and I love him

She's such a boss for writing this song! Also soo catchy! I just did a cover of her new "Homecoming queen" single, would love some feedback! Thanks

I honestly thought this was Miley Cyrus when I heard it on the radio!

Man this hits narcissism right on the head

I love this song

Who else just likes this song,and is in a great relationship?

Is she TRYING to sound just like Miley??

Oh I just love it

Good song

One of the dumbest songs made in awhile

I’m glad I was able to find a sane human being in the comment sections. Good job my man.

This song hits so hard with my subs in my truck and pull down all the windows of my truck so people can hear this song

Thank you for sending Adan that wonderful gift. Bless you.

i love this song

For reason it sounded like Miley

Kelsea, I heard that song on the radio on the pop radio station. And I asked one of the Co workers from work who's that ? And he said Kelsea Ballerini. Good job. My boss from work likes you too.

Good songs

“I put on my old records that I hid in the back of the closet/And I turn them up to ten/And then I played them all again” I am genuinely concerned about how much humidity is in the closet where you store your vinyl albums in.

(by the way this comment is irony)

There is a notable shortage of humorous comments on this video. Good job.

It’s her way of saying put away ‘out of sight’ because he wouldn’t let her play her music.

Lexi Lee the song is NOT about an abusive relationship. Many people in the comment section are literally misinterpreting. It’s about a girl longing for her past all alone.

@Thomas Lind It's clearly about a girl who lost her sense of self due to trying to mirror what a man wanted in a relationship. Whether this was expected or something she did all on her own isn't clear. Clearly she blames the man as indicated by "It's what you wanted, ain't it" but there is no statement about his actual actions demanding it.

The 80's called and they want the disco beat back.

I never had a toxic boyfriend but i did have a toxic friend who at the time thought was my best friend

This song is 1 million times better than Lizzo's truth hurts

They aren't even similar 😑

Ain't this about the TRUTH

Kelsea is a hottie ;)

This says it all. Be assertive, and if the partner doesn't like it... They're toxic. They tell you they'll like you more if you change this or that, stop listening to this or that, do what they want, don't listen, they're toxic. They put you down or cause emotional trauma, they're toxic. GET THE HELL OUTTA THAT RELATIONSHIP!!!! I didn't have a choice. I'm still trying to figure out who and what I even am due to a life, childhood included, of toxic men. Unlike many of you readers... I never had a me. Dreams crushed squelched at an early age. Emotional abuse. I have PTSD. And I'm not even 30. I don't want sympathy, I want to warn you. If you stay, your child could one day be me.

Not sure the song does say it all, but your proactive suggestion is better. The song leaves some question whether the patterning was forced, but if you do like you say and become assertive then you'll have your answer. One caveat. If someone encourages you to change you should probably ask yourself whether they want you to change for them or for you. If they want you to change for you it could be a healthy relationship that will encourage growth, as long as they aren't harsh or demanding about it. We all have room for growth and people who really love you won't want you to stagnate, but they won't expect you to mold to their preferences either.

@ZIaman agreed. Like.

I love your song it's so true .

You go girl...whoever wrote this a saint for women!

Awesome song! Great Lyrics!!! Love it! I use to have a relationship with a Narcissist for almost two years, he was nice at first, but after weird and strange, i get tired of his excuses, and i Left Him, i was thinking that i will miss him, but not " i Miss Me More!! Now i can Breath Better, i am totally free and happy! My power is mine! I think all Womans Have it, and for some reason give it away. Love yourself first, put God in The Center of your life, be with your family or someone who really care for you, motivate you or make you feel good. You can survive, and be happy and strong! Great song!! 😎

I like your music

I dont know what I miss I know I qanna hand put with a woman period ro have company fuk id wvwn hand out with an ole friend if they would come by... Or text me .... Really I am nobody but an artist I guess... By muself where I Belong

Me and my friends are dancing to this song at school for the 5th grade talent show and we are making our own moves and we love this soooooo much! Thanks for making this!

Who is she fighting in the white shirt? Herself?

Nice song , music and lyrics are awesome.

True this 100 she is cute too huh

Was in a nightmare of a relationship but I found my true love and my life is very happy again I do not have to deal with that pos ever again. The crap he put me though no woman should ever go though

Dont have to miss each other....we wake up n go to sleep in love!!!

Your beautiful

Kelsea Ballerini is 5' 6" so if a guy isn't as tall or taller when she's wearing heels either he must be pretty short, or she has on some seriously high heels.

Don't look like she hits like a country girl..🤠

Love this song, stupid guy decided he was in love with me and we were happy until we broke up, got back together and I got pregnant... broke up and left after saying he wouldn't, got back together AGAIN stayed together about a month and a half and he left me and his baby in the dust again recently and I am still hurting by I am NOT gonna let a guy that evidently lost all feelings for me and doesn't even think the baby is his bring me down because he is not worth my time and effort. This song speaks true volumes, I did miss him... for about two weeks still kind of do but I mostly miss the way I was when we were happy together, I wasn't depressed and I didn't let anything get to me until we fell apart but as time goes on I could care less, he's probably already with another chick he don't care about and saying he's happy probably because he's not locked down and gets all of the sex he wants from her.

I hear stories like this and they make me curious about how they started. How did he convince you that being with him was a good idea. Was he just really good looking, or confident and charismatic?

Never heard of this singer. Came across her name when she gifted a young blind fan a guitar..so decided to look her up. Hmmm I like this song

Dawn Nelson Exactly what I just did.. also like this song!

I love this song like if you do to

Here because the blind boy how gpt her guitar gift video on facebook...
