I’d been searching for that something
That would make my joy complete
Once I thought that I had found it
I made it mine and mine to keep
I had never loved so deeply
In my heart, I gave it a throne
And from there I let it rule me
Oh, if only I had known
That I love the right things
But I love them too much
When you hold on too tight
You’re bound to lose touch
Oh, I love the right things
But I love them too much
When you hold on too tight
You’re bound to lose touch
All my hopes and expectations
They were dashed against the wall
I had made them my salvation
And for that I lost it all
Oh, I love the right things
But I love them too much
When you hold on too tight
You’re bound to lose touch
Oh, I love the right things
But I love them too much
When you hold on too tight
You’re bound to lose touch
And now it’s too late
But now I realize
That you lose what you idolize
Clean this house, oh, clean this heart
Be as violent as You must
Brick by brick, oh, bring them down
Turn our Idols into dust
