Too Much Love Will Kill You - The Queen Kings

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 '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

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 have 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 sure 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…

In the end.
