The Worst Thing

Natalie Merchant


So you're in love, that's so good for you. 
Live it up girl 'cause it never lasts long 
It's heaven for now but not for long 
It's gonna hurt you, 
It's going to make you feel so bad 

Once I could love, I could trust, 
I could not doubt 
But that was just about 
The worst thing that I could do 
It was just about the worst thing 
That I could do 

Maybe not now, but it won't take long 
Before it's gonna hurt you 
And truly do you some harm 

Once I was open, could hope, 
I had no doubt 
but that was the worst thing 
That I could do 
It was just about the worst thing 
That I could do 

Once I came close to that most elusive fire Burning with hopeless love and desire 
But it was just about the worst thing 
That I could do 
It was just about the worst thing 
That I could do 

En el pasado estuve ciega como tu 
Atrapada y perdida como tu 
Embelesada y suspendida en mi jaula de plata 
Esos recuerdos te acompanaran toda la vida 

(In the past I was blind as you 
Trapped and lost like you with no escape 
Suspended in my silver cage 
These memories will remain with you forever)
