We study the higher order corrections of quark masses to the Gell-Mann$-$Oakes$-$Renner (GOR) relation by constructing QCD sum rules exclusively for pseudoscalar mesons from the axial-vector correlation function, $i \int d^4x~ e^{ip\cdot x} < 0| T[A_\mu (x) A_\nu (0)] | 0>$. To project out the pseudoscalar meson contributions, we apply $-p^\mu p^\nu/p^2$ to this correlation function and construct sum rules for the decay constants of pseudoscalar mesons, $f_\pi, f_k$ and $f_{\eta_8}$. The OPE is proportional to quark masses due to PCAC. To leading order in quark mass, each sum rule reproduces the corresponding GOR relation. For kaon and $\eta_8$, the deviation from the GOR relation due to higher orders in quark mass is found to be substantial. But the deviation gives better agreements with the phenomenology. Our sum rule provides a sensitive relation between $f_K$ and $m_s$, which stringently constrain the value for $m_s$. To reproduce the experimental value for $f_K$, $m_s$ is found to be 186 MeV at 1 GeV scale. The $f_{\eta_8}$ sum rule also supports this finding.
