Lyrics
Terrible Thing
I hopped in the car and I went very fast
Trying to think about the future not the past
People on the roadside watching me pass
With the wind in my hair and bugs on the glass
It's the last thing on my mind as I speed away
How the girl had left me just the previous day
But what else could I do, what else could I say
I gotta keep going, keep these blues at bay
Chorus:
Well, It's a terrible thing to be punched and kicked
It's a terrible thing to have been so tricked
It's a terrible thing to end up in conflict
Put them all together it's so easy to predict
That love lies bleeding in the middle of the road
The china lies broken in your abode
The crown of thorns has been bestowed
And one or both of you's about to explode
Well I rode up the mountain and slid back down
With my skis and snowsuit I looked like a clown
But it's a hard thing to do while wearing a frown
Til the ambulance gets you back to town
There's a thing about pain I don't know if you're aware
But suddenly everything else just isn't there
And your eyes take on this vacant stare
But your minds too busy to remember your despair
She doesn't want me
She doesn't want love
She doesn't wanna embrace
Only wants to shove
She doesn't want love
She doesn't want me
She doesn't want anything
The way it used to be
Well, the flowers they arrived as a colorful bunch
And the card inside packed a powerful punch
She said when I was out we should meet for lunch
And I wanna say yes but I've got his hunch
She doesn't wanna make up and come back to me
She doesn't wanna pick up where we left off, you see
She doesn't wanna suddenly no longer be free
She wants to tie up loose ends, give me back my key
Chorus
