[Intro]
You know that I can't love you more
You know that I can't love you more

[Verse 1]
Silver tongue, they'll soon be gone
When the sunlight hits the room
Lay down with them if you want
Watch their breath and feel the cold

[Refrain]
Raise your hand, bite your tongue
Conversation is over and done
Will you let 'em out? Will you let 'em in?
Will you ever know when it's the tipping point, the tipping point?

[Chorus]
So who's that ghost knockin' at my door?
You know that I can't love you more
What's that shape climbin' over my wall?
You know that I can't love you more

[Post-Chorus]
You know that I can't love you more

[Verse 2]
Winter done, they'll soon be gone
From this unforgiving place
To that vague and distant void
Where the sunlight splits the I

[Refrain]
Life is cruel, life is tough
Life is crazy, then it all turns to dust
Will you let 'em out? Will you let 'em in?
Will you ever know when it's the tipping point, the tipping point?
The tipping point, the tipping point
The tipping point, the tipping point
The tipping point, the tipping point

[Chorus]
So who's that ghost knockin' at my door?
You know that I can't love you more
What's that shape climbin' over my wall?
You know that I can't love you more
So who's that ghost knockin' at my door?
You know that I can't love you more
What's that shape climbin' over my wall?
You know that I can't love you more
Love you more, love you more, love you more

Tears for Fears are an English pop band formed in 1981 by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith.

The group rose to fame in 1982 with single “Mad World”, which made it to number 3 in the UK charts and paved the way for the huge success of debut album The Hurting, released in 1983. However, it wasn’t until Songs from the Big Chair in 1985, a change in musical direction towards pop, that the band made it internationally. The record proved to be hit, reaching #2 in the UK and #1 in the US charts, and contains their most well-known singles, “Shout” and “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”. Third album The Seeds of Love, released in 1989, performed similarly, entering the UK Albums charts at #1.

In 1991, the band broke up. Curt Smith went on as a solo artist while Roland Orzabal continued as Tears for Fears, releasing Elemental in 1993 to much success in the UK (though significantly less in the US) and Raoul and the Kings of Spain in 1995, which did poorly in the charts, only reaching #41 in the UK but with some acclaim in continental Europe. In 2000, Curt and Roland reunited and recorded what became Everybody Loves a Happy Ending, released in 2004 to positive reviews and moderate success. The band currently continues to tour.
