Song information

Artist: Natalie Merchant

Lyrics

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.)
