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 [bad word] to me
 About growing up and what a [bad word] 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, oooh
 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 yeah 

 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 

 Yeah 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 [bad word] again
 Too much love will kill you
 In the end - In the end
