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)
