Mayday Parade - Terrible Things Lyrics
By the time I was your age, I'd give anythingTo fall in love truly, was all I could thinkThat's when I met your mother, the girl of my dreamsThe most beautiful woman, that I'd ever seenShe said, "Boy can I tell you, a wonderful thing?""I can't help but notice, you're staring at me""I know I shouldn't say this, but I really believe""I can tell by your eyes, that you're in love with me"Now son, I'm only telling you this...Because life, can do terrible thingsNow most of the time, we'd had too much to drinkAnd we'd laugh at the stars and we'd share everythingToo young to notice, and too dumb to careLove was a story, that couldn't compareI said, "Girl can I tell you, a wonderful thing?""I made you a present, with paper and string""Open with care now, I'm asking you please""You know that I love you, will you marry me?"Now son, I'm only telling you this...Because life, can do terrible thingsYou'll learn, one day, I'll hope and I'll prayThat God, shows you differentlyShe said, "Boy can I tell you, a terrible thing?""It seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks""Please don't be sad now, I really believe""You were the greatest, thing that ever happened to me"Slow, so slowI fell to the ground, on my kneesSo don't fall in love, there's just too much to riskIf given the choice, then I'm begging you'll chooseTo walk away, walk away, don't let her get youI can't bear to see the same happen to youNow son, I'm only telling you this......Because life, can do terrible things
