Too Much Love Will Kill You

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.

Kalo tidak salah lagu yang ditulis oleh Gitaris Queen Brian May, Frank Musker, dan Elizabeth Lamers ini pertama kali saya dengar ketika saya beranjak masuk SMP. Pertama kali mendengarnya , seperti merasakan betapa pahitnya hidup ini dikala harus kehilangan sesuatu atau seseorang yang sangat kita sayangi.

Mungkin lagu ini bisa jadi gambaran hubungan antara ayah saya, saya, dan rokok. Ayah saya perokok berat. Too Much Love telah dia berikan untuk beribu-ribu (bahkan mungkin berjuta-juta) batang rokok selama hidupnya. Sampai saat ini, saya selalu berusaha untuk membuatnya berhenti dari merokok. Tapi apa daya, Too much his love for cigarettes can't make him to make up his mind...

But, you know what, dad...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.
