Staring Problem - Make Do And Mend

There’s a kid I used to know

His heart exploded one day after school

When we were walking home

My mother told me son

That boys heart was so full up with love that

It just gave out there wasn’t enough room

But I heard he wrote a love song

For a girl he never met

How stupid can one kid get?

It was soft and sweet

Miserable but pleasantly upbeat

And this is how it went:

Alison I know this world is killing one of us

But that could never change the way you smile Whoa

And I can’t (?)

That we just seem to betray

The way I feel when I see your pretty face from far away

Knowing that that’s the closest that will ever be

It was Sunday after church

The funeral masses crowded out the door

And spilled onto the curb

The mothers wiped their tears

And held their sons tightly near em

Said little one don’t you ever fall in love

But its not the fear of telling her the truth

About the things that he would do

To make her his that led this whole thing to ensue

It’s just the pain of (?) each day

(?) it’s gonna end the same

How many times you let the right girl get away

Alison I know this world is killing one of us

But that could never change the way you smile Whoa

And I can’t (?)

That we just seem to betray

The way I feel when I see your pretty face from far away

Knowing that that’s the closest that will ever

Alison I know this world is killing one of us

But that could never change the way you smile Whoa

And I can’t (?)

That we just seem to betray

The way I feel when I see your pretty face from far away

Alison I know this world is killing one of us

But that could never change the way you smile Whoa

And I can’t (?)

That we just seem to betray

The way I feel when I see your pretty face from far away

Knowing that that’s the closest that will ever be
