“Terrible Things”

Mayday Parade

[Verse 1:]

By the time I was your age, I'd give anything

To fall in love truly, was all I could think

That's when I met your mother, the girl of my dreams

The most beautiful woman, that I'd ever seen

[Pre -Chorus 1:]

She 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"

[Chorus 1:]

Now son, I'm only telling you this...

Because life, can do terrible things

[Verse 2:]

Now most of the time, we'd had too much to drink

And we'd laugh at the stars and we'd share everything

Too young to notice, and too dumb to care

Love was a story, that couldn't compare

[Chorus 2:]

Now son, I'm only telling you this...

Because life, can do terrible things

You'll learn, one day, I'll hope and I'll pray

That God, shows you differently

[Bridge:]

She 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"

[Bridge:]

Slow, so slow

I fell to the ground, on my knees

So don't fall in love, there's just too much to lose

If given the choice, then, I'm begging you, choose

To walk away, walk away, don't let her get you.

I can't bear to see the same happen to you.

[Chorus:]

Now son, I'm only telling you this...

...Because life, can do terrible things
