I had a dream I was mugged outside your house
I had a dream in a panic you came running out
For a moment you were sure I'd die on you
For a moment I believed you loved me too
But life is never like this and you're never strong
Too much of a good thing won't be good for long
Although you made my heart sing, to stay with you would be wrong
Too much of a good thing won't be good anymore
Watch where I tread before I fall
We'd talk maybe 20 times a day
And still I'd never say what I want to say
I thought I wouldn't need to
I guess I read you wrong
Too much of a good thing won't be good for long
Although you made my heart sing, to stay with you would be wrong
Too much of a good thing won't be good anymore
Watch where I tread before I fall
You refuse to see this, don't see it anymore
I have made the decision not to answer your calls
'Cause I put everything out there and I got nothing at all
Too much of a good thing isn't good and you know
I watch where I walk before I fall
Before I fall
