Lyrics

I’m bro ken,

do you hear me?

I’m blind ed

’cause (Em)you are ev ’ry thing I see.

I’m danc ing

a lone.

I’m pray ing

that (Em)your heart will just turn a round.

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...

When he (C)o pens his arms and holds you close to night

it just won’t feel right.

’Cause I can love you more than this.

When he (C)lays you down I might just die in side,

it just don’t feel right.

’Cause I can love you more than this.

Can love you more than this.

More Than This by One Direction — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “More Than This” by One Direction in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of C at 138 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
