Terrible Things

Terrible Things

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 you staring at me.
I know I shouldn't say this
But I really believe that 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 things.

Now most of the time we had 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
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 things.

You'll learn one day,
I'll 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."

So, 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 thing
happen to you...

Now Son, I am only telling you this because
Life can do terrible things
