Though my shots were in self defense
I'm a monster nonetheless
Yeah i took it too far
Took it too far
Every gesture ill perceived
Gentle words sound like a tease
When you take it too far
And we took it too far
You should have lied and said you liked my book
I shouldn't have said you were a shitty cook
We take it too far
We took it too far
Love doesn't have to be this way
Blow for blow '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 want to smash that phone to bits
Cuz they take it too far
They take you too far
It's like that ride when we were kids
One drops down while the other lifts
We took it too far
We fell too far
Love doesn't have to be this way
Wash battle wounds with cheap bouquets
Let's end the war
Call back the troops
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 got
But that don't mean we just let it rot
Cuz 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 cuz we've come too far
We've come too far
We've come too far
(love doesn't have to be this way)
