Genesis - Taking It All Too Hard Lyrics






No not this confused again
No not the same mistakes again.
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard

Why can't you see what's going on?
I know you'd never admit
You would ever be to blame
Everything's a game to you
The old days are gone
And they're better left alone
I cannot help you, it's much too late

Oh no not this confused again
Oh no not the same mistakes again.
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard

There's always a reason why it happened
You never never did anything wrong, but it
It just seemed to fall apart
But you're taking it all too hard

Now that it's dark, all of your fears,
Like shadows creeping around.
You're much too scared to look down
And it's lonely out on your own

The old days are gone
And they're better left alone
But I still miss you
I keep it to myself

Oh no not this confused again
Oh no not the same mistakes again
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard

Oh no not this confused again
Oh no not the same mistake again
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard

Oh no not this confused again
No no not the same mistakes again
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard

Oh no not this confused again
Oh no not the same mistakes again
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard

  57. p.... b....

  58. D.... V....

    My song to my first love

  59. s.... ....

    The underrated songs are the best songs especially this by Genesis with Phil Collins singing on this beautiful song

  60. P.... 2....

    Love the Yamaha Cp-70 of which the main elec piano sound in this song is. This song reminds me of my first real summer love, Whitney from Tennessee. She’d moved to Ohio that spring. I was 12 at the time. This song will always remind me of her. Whitney, where in the universe are you now? This song is true magic. It’s written in history forever.

  61. J.... L....

    Tantas canções lindas.

  62. N.... N....

    *cries*

  63. P.... P....

    I heard this song in a Culver’s restaurant. I hadn’t heard it in 35 years...I was brought back to 1984.

    It’s when you’ve actually lived a little that you begin to understand the songs and how relatable they are to what you’ve been through. The love of my life used to pretty much tell me what Phil is singing, in so many words. “You’re taking it all too hard” is what he said.

  64. D.... T....

    Inspirado!!

  65. J.... B....

    Taking It All Too Hard is Phil Collins at his best! This is a great song from 1983...

  66. D.... F....

    There is a voice in the background. What is she singing?

    D.... F....

    I d know

  67. P.... R....

    So way underrated, i love their older stuff like selling England by the pound... such good times, such good music.

  68. J.... I....

    Everything fits in a beautiful melody with this piece.

  69. B.... M....

    Genesis Taking all too hard is one of my personal favorite song!

  70. A.... U....

    Good God, who is the lead singer to this beautiful, regal track? The chorus is wonderful.

    A.... U....

    Adanna Unegbu The great Phil Collins, of course. If you haven’t heard his (and more Genesis ) songs, you’re in for a treat.

    A.... U....

    @Stormdog12 No wonder. It all makes sense. Thanks for the response!

    A.... U....

    Adanna Unegbu you’re welcome. Have a great day

    A.... U....

    @Stormdog12 Thanks you too!

  71. L.... W....

    The people that dislike this song are taking it all to hard

  72. S.... L....

    The story or song of my life.

  73. G.... ....

    Little masterpiece...

  74. L.... M....

    Tout simplement superbe

  75. B.... C....

    Great songs will live forever....

  76. D.... F....

    UNDERRATED SONG!!!!!!!

  77. M.... L....

    Phil eres maravilloso tu música nunca me cansaré de escucharla

  78. A.... R....

    This song takes me back to a moment of happiness, sadness, heartbreak, and love, all at once. It moves me and this is why it is such a great song when a song takes you on a trip, it makes it a classic.

  79. M.... E....

    90’s baby n I would do anything to see him live! A musical God he is n no not enough recognition. Pearl Jam I love you Eddie but Phil is daddy of music n he is like a son lmao!!

    M.... E....

    Would you mind u2

  80. c.... ....

    Oh yeah.

  81. J.... M....

    Masterpiece👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏

  82. M.... ....

    Another big A.C. Hit

  83. e.... i....

    your just taking matters way too hard for me to continue , your jealousy was so overwhelming , many tears poured out over this song ! at times it made feel like it was suppose to end this way , and she made me feel so distant cause she couldn't trust me ! Oh well was not meant to be fell out of love and life is too short too be with someone that you really don't have that magic feeling for ! you can only pretend for so long ! yes Carol i'm talking about you ! i'm gonna keep this one for real !

  84. R.... ....

    My dad listens to this.

    R.... ....

    Your dad has exceptional taste in music. May I suggest you ask him other favorites he has to broaden your appreciation of all musical genres.

  85. c.... h....

    Hard Rock Heaven.

  86. J.... E....

    It sounds like the main song theme "Another World" at the start.

  87. H.... P....

    This album kicked ass

  88. J.... C....

    This song saved my life in a nasty divorace i was suicidal and almost did it till phils words made sense not to blame myself music can save ur soul it saved mine it is a masterpiece of logic and eloquent music

  89. s.... b....

    I am just sick of being here and I am tired of not making any money!!! I am tired of these two individuals being allowed to come in and ruin my life. No one should be the boss of me , except from my parents I have always relied on only myself, I am a very independent woman, so folks coming in trying to own my ass and my whole existence is becoming a exhausting thing! I am not having any fun and it has been going on for about five years or longer according to some!!! My fifty - six birthday is in March and I haven't been able to enjoy a birthday in about nine years or so! Used to go out of town for my birthday but the money hasn't been there in years so the years go by and can't continue to have the years past by like it is nothing with these Assholes, whose ideas of fun is getting married, going on dumb cruise trips, giving gifts you don't want, hanging around and you can't stand them, they aren't funny so you never laugh, they are embarrassment and prejudice, bad conversation or no dialogue what so ever etc....The years are just passing by and I not getting younger - still have interests in learning how to ride a motorcycle or three wheeler Harley Davidson. So....You can say I am taking things too serious but I am tired of all the drama, problems, the stalking, this shit is exhausting!!! Five years of this and counting....sick in tired of being sick and tired!!!
