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 
Oh, 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 
'Cos 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 
Ooh, 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 
Oh yes, 

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 

Yes, 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 
In the end
