“More Than I Knew” was the second track intended for Cox' sixth studio album ‘Work of Art’, initially announced for a August 2015 release through Deco & Primary Wave Music.
The song song peaked at number 16 on the US Billboard Adult R&B Songs.
I gave you my heart on a platter
It was stupid
I gave you my life like it mattered
But you took it
I know that people tell me that it's gonna take time
But time feels like forever when you ain't by my side
I was young and foolish for breaking the spell
And now it just feels like I'm guilting myself
I found every reason to spin this around
Oh why, why, why, why
I missed you so much more than I ever loved you
I'm better at needing you now than when I had you
Oh I, I know I complained
But now you're all that I crave
Maybe I just loved you more than I knew
The truth is so hard to remember when it's fading
And all I can think about is what worked, it's amazing
It's funny how back then we always focused on the fact
And now it seems like you're the best thing I ever had
I was young and foolish for breaking the spell
And now it just feels like I'm guilting myself
I found every reason to spin this around
Oh why, why, why, why
I missed you so much more than I ever loved you
I'm better at needing you now than when I had you
Oh I, I know I complained
But now you're all that I crave
Maybe I just loved you more than I knew
I know in my heart we're not meant to be
If things were that good you'd be here with me
Or maybe I ruined a perfect thing
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah
I missed you so much more than I ever loved you
I'm better at needing you now than when I had you
Oh I, I know I complained
But now you're all that I crave
Maybe I just loved you more than I knew
