Too Much In Love To Care
Sarah Brightman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I always loved illusion
I thought make-believe was truer than life
But now it's all confusion
Please, can you tell me what's happening?
I just don't know anymore
If this is real, how should I feel?
If you were smart, you would keep on walking
Out of my life as fast as you can
I'm not the one you should pin your hopes on
You're falling for the wrong kind of man
This is crazy, you know we should call it a day
Sound advice, great advice
Let's throw it away
I can't control all the things I'm feeling
I haven't got a prayer
If I'm a fool, well
I'm too much in love to care
I knew where I was, I'd given up hope
Made friends with disillusion
No one in my life, but I look at you
And now it's all confusion
Please, can you tell me what's happening?
I just don't know anymore
If this is real, how should I feel?
What should I look for?
I thought I had everything I needed
My life was set, my dreams were in place
My heart could see, way into the future
All of that goes when I see your face
I should hate you
There I was, the world in my hand
Can one kiss, kiss away
Everything I planned?
I can't control all the things I'm feeling
I'm floating in mid-air
I know it's wrong, but
I'm too much in love to care
I thought I had everything I needed
My life was set, my dreams were in place
My heart could see way into the future
All of that goes when I see your face
This is crazy, you know we should call it a day
Sound advice
Great advice
Let's throw it away
I can't control all the things I'm feeling
We're floating in mid-air
If we are fools, well
We're too much in love to care
If we are fools, well
We're too much in love to care
The song “Too Much in Love To Care” by Sarah Brightman is one that speaks to the confusion and uncertainty that often accompanies love. The opening lines describe the singer’s childhood fascination with make-believe and illusions. However, the singer is now caught in confusion and seeks guidance on how to navigate love. The confusion becomes even more pronounced when the singer meets someone who was not part of her original plan. She recognizes that the person is not someone she should hope for or rely on, but she cannot control her feelings.
Throughout the song, the singer grapples with the confusion of feeling something that she cannot explain. She realizes that she is too much in love to care about any advice or guidance urging her to abandon her feelings. The opening line of the song “When I was a kid, I played on this street” can be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer’s life before love. Everything was easy and there was nothing to worry about. However, once the singer experiences love, it creates confusion and uncertainty which is conveyed beautifully in the lyrics of the song.
Line by Line Meaning
When I was a kid, I played on this street
In my childhood, I used to play on this street
I always loved illusion
I always enjoyed make-believe more than reality
I thought make-believe was truer than life
I believed that imaginary things were more real than reality
But now it's all confusion
But now I am mixed up and unsure
Please, can you tell me what's happening?
Can you please explain what's going on?
I just don't know anymore
I don't have any clue anymore
If this is real, how should I feel?
If this is reality, what should my emotions be?
What should I look for?
What should I search for as evidence that it is real?
If you were smart, you would keep on walking
If you are wise, you'll depart now
Out of my life as fast as you can
As fast as you can, remove yourself from my life
I'm not the one you should pin your hopes on
You have chosen the wrong person to have high hopes on
You're falling for the wrong kind of man
You are attracted to the wrong type of man
This is crazy, you know we should call it a day
This is insane, let's end it today
Sound advice, great advice
It is good advice, very sound advice
Let's throw it away
Let's disregard it and not follow it
I can't control all the things I'm feeling
I am incapable of managing all these emotions
I haven't got a prayer
I have no chance to rest or control my feelings
If I'm a fool, well
If I am being foolish,
I'm too much in love to care
I am so in love that I don't care
I knew where I was, I'd given up hope
I knew my situation, and I had lost all hope
Made friends with disillusion
I learned to accept the impossibility of my dreams
No one in my life, but I look at you
I had no one in my life, but when I saw you
And now it's all confusion
Now everything in my life is mixed up
I thought I had everything I needed
I believed that I had all my needs fulfilled
My life was set, my dreams were in place
Everything was in order, all my dreams were clear
My heart could see, way into the future
My heart could envision far ahead into the future
All of that goes when I see your face
When I lay my eyes on you, all that is gone
I should hate you
I must despise you
There I was, the world in my hand
At one point, I believed I was in control
Can one kiss, kiss away
Can a single embrace wash away
Everything I planned?
All the plans I have made?
I'm floating in mid-air
I feel weightless as if floating in thin air
I know it's wrong, but
I understand it's not the right thing to do, but
I'm too much in love to care
I am too deeply in love to bother about it
We're floating in mid-air
We are both in a floating state
If we are fools, well
If we are making wrong decisions,
We're too much in love to care
Our love is too deep to worry about being foolish
