Words and music by brian may, frank musker and elizabeth lamers 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 me tangled state of mind I've been looking back to find Where i went wrong Too much love will k** 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 k** 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 k** 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 k** you Every time Too much love will k** you It'll make your life a lie Yes, too much love will k** 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 k** you In the end... In the end.
