too much love will kill you þarký sözü

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 because 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 it´s impossible to choose
no there´s no making sense of it
every way i go i have to lose

oh 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
in the end
