It would be a hard struggle to choose between being an idealist or a wise man and forget all childhood stories about equilibrium,humanity etc. Sometimes you feel that it is too wild to be tolerated then you feel that you are becoming just a shadow of a man,stray one.
Freddie mercury says:

I'm just pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down
On me I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone for much too long
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangle state of mind
I've been looking to find where I went wrong

Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Tom between the lover and the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster
'Cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you - every time

I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now I ever do is bring you down
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see it is impossible to choose
No, there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I have to lose

Too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all,
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you - every time

Too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why
You'd give your life, you'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you
In the end, in the end
