Lyrics The Worst Thing - Wynton Marsalis Septet, Natalie Merchant, Wynton Marsalis

The Worst Thing

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)
