Words and music by Adam Beattie

lyrics

The horse wears blinders so he can’t see to the side
A woman is veiled to make a worthy bride
You can’t catch two fish on the same line
The man who loves too much will lose every time

He who shoots straight but always looks away
He without faith but prays every day
If it bears no fruit it’s cut from the vine
The man who loves too much will lose every time

You can’t win a woman by showing your tears
The louder you shout, the less people hear
The heavier the heart, the harder the climb
The man who loves too much will lose every time

He says he doesn’t love you but he always asks for more
He invites you to a bed he’s made up by the door
He’ll read you the rules but he won’t let you sign
The man who loves too much will lose every time

Every cell will perish and all will be replaced
Memory will be passed on to a brand new face
She caught you looking for the past in an empty glass of wine
The man who loves too much will lose every time

The light will blind you if you stare too long
The heart will break if it feels too strong
Adam bit the apple and he died in his prime
The man who loves too much will lose every time
