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'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...
In the end.

Once was a man who consumed his place and time
He thought nothing could touch him
But here and now it’s a different storyline
Like the straw he is clutching
Why has the sky turned grey
Hard to my face and cold on my shoulder
And why has my life gone astray
Scarred by disgrace, I know that its over
Because I’m falling down
With people standing round
But before I hit the ground
Is there time
Could I find someone out there to help me?
Howl at the wind rushing past my lonely head
Caught inside its own motion
How I wish it was somebody else instead
Howling at all this corrosion
Why did the luck run dry
Laugh in my face, so pleased to desert me
Why do the cruel barbs fly?
Now when disgrace can no longer hurt me
Because I’m falling down
With people standing round
But before I hit the ground
Is there time
Could I find someone out there to help me?
Because I’m falling down
With people standing round
But before I hit the ground
Is there time
Could I find someone out there to help me?
I don’t know…. Why…

You can keep that diamond ring
Take it down town and find out what it will
You can ask me to give you almost anything
All except my heart
You can't have my heart
I'm takin that with me
Somebody else might want it
You broke it almost constantly
So you can't have my heart
I will not be true to you
I wont wait till you decide what you're gonna do
You may change your mind, but it's too late this time
Give me back my heart
You can't have my heart
I'm takin that with me
Somebody else might want it
You broke it way too frequently
Now you can't have my heart
I'm takin that with me
Somebody else might want it
You broke it almost constatly
So you can't have my heart
I don't care any more
Why you act the way you do
I won't be there anymore
I won't even be thinking about it
I'll take the future
You can have the rest
All except my heart
You can't have my heart
I'll take that with me
You really didn't want it
You broke it almost constantly
Now you can't have my heart
I'll take that with me
Somebody else might want it
You broke it almost constantly
So you can't have my heart
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
