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
