The Worst Thing Lyrics

So you're in love, that's so good for you

 Live it up girl 'cause it never lasts too long

 It's heaven for now, but not for long

 It's gonna hurt you

 It's gonna 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 I could do 

 

 En el pasado que estuve ciega como tu

 Atrapada y perdida, como tu

 Embelesada y suspendida en mi jaula de plata

 Esos recuerdos me accompanaran 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.)
