Too Far

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
Got to 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)
