[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
All my hopes and expectations
They were dashed against the wall
I had made them my salvation
And for that I lost it all
[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
And now it’s too late
But now I realize
That you lose what you idolize

[Verse 4]
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
