She is gone, and it feels like the words to a song...
Your everlasting summer and you can see it fading fast
So you grab a piece of something that you think is gonna last
She just wept
Like I could not ignore
How can I act
When my heart's on the floor?
Daddy I've got nothing left
My life is good
My love's a mess
Daddy I've got nothing left
What can I do that's for the best?
What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten
I have been around the world
Lookin' for that woman/girl
Who knows love can endure
And you know it will
In searching for a meaningful embrace
Sometimes my self-respect took second place
Some they say the price you pay is far too much to spend
But they don't know the cost is fair if for awhile it keeps your heart from crumbling
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
And it all boils down to the same old thing
Just a yin and a yang or a couple of pipe dreams
And it all boils down to the same old pain
Whether you win or lose isn't gonna change a single thing
You write such pretty words,
But life's no storybook.
Love's an excuse to get hurt
Trembling I can't believe
I've got to leave the girl behind me
Can you feel it?
Love is here
It has never been so clear
You can't love what you have not
So hold on to what you've got
Hope you remember me when you're homesick and need a change
I'll miss your purple hair, I'll miss the way you taste
Yes it's the end, the final showdown
Yes it's the end of our small love
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why - why - why
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more chance
Why can't we give love
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Now I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers
And laid entwined together on a bed of clover
And left there to sleep
Left there to dream of their happiness
It's so damn easy, when your feelings are such
To overprotect her, to love her too much
But just hold on loosely, but don't let go
If you cling too tightly, you're gonna lose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in
But then this bird just flew away
She was never meant to stay
Oh to keep her caged would just delay the spring
