Too Much Sugar
Melounge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too much pain inside your heart
You keep a memory in your pocket
Every time love breaks apart
Taste the sleepy day
Take the lazy way
When strangers pass you by
There are a million ways
To find a private sky
Too much sugar in your coffee
Too much pain inside your heart
You've got a suitcase and a pocket
Full of dreams falling apart
Too much sugar in your coffee
Too much pain inside your heart
You keep a memory in your pocket
Every time love breaks apart
Taste the sleepy day
Take the lazy way
When strangers pass you by
Bring me your sunny days
There are a million ways
To find a private sky
Too much sugar in your coffee
Too much pain inside your heart
You've got a suitcase and a pocket
Full of dreams falling apart
