Lyrics
Although my shots were in self-defense
I'm a monster nonetheless, yeah
I took it too far
I took it too far
Every gesture ill-perceived
Gentle words sound like a tease
When you take it too far
We took it too far
You should've lied and said you liked my book
I shouldn't have said you were a shitty cook
Yeah, we take it too far
Yeah, we took it too far
Love doesn't have to be this way
(Love doesn't have to be this way)
Blow for blow 'til someone caves
('Til someone caves)
Just say the word, call off the dogs, and I will gladly drop the case
We'll erase the writing on the wall, start over with a clean new slate
Your friends have got you in their grip
I wanna smash that phone to bits
'Cause they take it too far
(Take it too far)
Yeah, they take you too far
It's like that ride when we were kids
One drops down while the other lives
Yeah, we take it too far
(Take it too far)
We fell too far
Love doesn't have to be this way
(Love doesn't have to be this way)
Wash battle wounds with cheap bouquets
(With cheap bouquets)
Let's end the war, call back the troops
Let's sign the treaty, stop this craze
And if we can't agree to terms there's no choice but to walk away
There's plenty wrong with what we've got
But that don't mean we just let it rot, no
'Cause we've come too far
(We've come too far)
We've come too far
(We've come too far)
I still want you if you want me
Gotta treat each other more carefully, yeah
'Cause we've come too far
(We've come too far)
Yeah, we've come too far
(We've come too far)
We've come too far
We've come too far
We've come too far
We've come too far
(Love doesn't have to be this way)
