I wish i'd known enough about love

Sometimes too much fuel can smother up the fire
And sometimes too much love can strangle that desire
I held her too tight till the feeling was gone
Oh I wish I'd known enough about love to leave love enough alone

Sometimes a single tear can speak a tousand lies
And sometimes it's hard to tell the foolish from the wise
Someone who could be so right could also be so wrong
Oh I wish I'd known enough about love to leave love enough alone

When you cast too bigger shadow love can grow enough to show
It's a pity I didn't know enough to know
But it always seems to happen when a brier meets a rose
Oh I wish I'd known enough about love to leave love enough alone
But it always seems to happen
