Strum
D-DU-UDU
So  you're in love,  it'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 the worst thing that I  could do
 It was just about the worst thing that I  could do
Maybe  not now, but
  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
 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
 It was just about the worst thing 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.)
