Mayday Parade - Terrible Things.

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'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 things.

Now, most of the time we'd have 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.

I 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 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."

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 you're given the choice, then I beg you to choose,

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

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

Now, son, I'm only telling you this

Because life can do terrible things ....

Nah ini lagu yang sering gue dengerin akhir-akhir ini. Lagunya buat gue sih cukup manis ya, meski end upnya gak semanis lirik lagunya. Huhuhu kalo gue ditanya manisnya dari segi mana? Dari segi cerita dan dari segi pemilihan kata buat lagunya juga buat gue ini ya, cukup mengena. Meski nanti buat yang baca lagu dengan lirik lagu yang lebih manis itu banyak banget. :)

Ini lagu yang gue mau nyanyiin buat anak gue besok atau seenggaknya gue suruh dengerin dan resapin ceritanya, kalo gue masih ingat, dan semoga masih. Jangan ngelakuin kesalahan yang gue lakuin dalam hal jatuh cinta sama orang yang dia sayangi nanti. Jatuh cintalah dengan baik dan benar, ya meski akan selalu ada hal yang salah dalam jatuh cinta kepada seseorang. Hehehe
