"I Love You But I Love Me More" Expresses The Idea Of Self-Love And Self-Preservation Highlighting The Importance Of Taking Care Of One’s Own Needs Before Someone Else’s. In The Song The Narrator Tells Her Lover That Despite Loving Them She Loves Herself More And Won’t Stay In A Relationship That Doesn’t Benefit Her. The Narrator States That Her Lover Can’t Be Trusted Because Of Their Bad Choices In The Past And That Love Alone Isn't Enough For The Relationship To Survive. The Lyric "you Say You'll Change You Say You'll Transform" Serves As A Warning To Her Lover That Even With Promises Of Transformation It's Too Little Too Late. The Narrator Ultimately Decides To Take Care Of Herself And Invest In Her Own Health Instead Of Continuing A Relationship That's Destined To Fail.
