Terrible Things

Terrible things by Mayday Parade
________

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

She said, "Boy can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I can't help but notice your staring at me.
I know I shouldn't say this but I really believe,
I can tell by your eyes that your in love with me."

Now son, I'm only telling you this because life,
Can do terrible things

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

I said, "Girl can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I've made you a present from 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 things.
You'll learn one day, I hope and I'll pray,
That God shows you differently.

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."

Slow, so slow,
I fell to the ground on my knees

So don't fall in love, there's just to much to lose
If you're given the choice, then I beg you to choose,

To walk away, walk away,
Don't let her get to you.
I can't bear to see the same thing happen to you.

Now son, I'm only telling you this because life, can do

Terrible things...
