Too Much Love Will Kill You Lyrics

I'm just the pieces of
the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are
raining down on me

I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone
for much too long

I feel like no one ever told the truth
to me about growing up
and what a struggle it would be

In my tangled state of mind
I've been looking back to find
where I went wrong

Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind

You're headed for disaster
Cause you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you every time

I'm just the shadow
of the man I used to be
And it seems like
there's no way out of this for me

I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down

How would it be
If you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see that
it's impossible to choose

No, there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I'm bound to lose

Too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl

And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you every time

Too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why

You'd give your life
You'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you in the end
