00:00I'm just pieces of the man I used to be
00:19Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
00:26I'm far away from home, I've been facing this alone for much too long
00:38I feel like no one ever told the truth to me
00:45About growing up and what a struggle it would be
00:51My tangled state of mind, I've been looking back to find where I went wrong
01:04Too much love will kill you if you can't make up your mind
01:10Torn between the lover and the love you leave behind

02:03How would it be if you were standing in my shoes?
02:09Can't you see that it's impossible to choose?
02:15There's no making sense of it, everywhere I go I have to lose
02:28Too much love will kill you, just as sure as none at all
02:33It'll drain the fire that's in you, make you bleed and scream and crawl
02:39And the pain will make you crazy, you're the victim of your crime
02:45Too much love will kill you every time
