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 k**ing 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 ma**es 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 k**ing 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 k**ing 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 k**ing 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
