Original Lyrics

It Would Happen To Me

As I grew up

I learned that I loved to learn

So as I grew up

I learned all I could learn

I learned the good and bad

The dangerous and confusing

The happy and the sad

The dark and the bruising

And I thought to myself

I'm sorry for the ones

That go through this

The strong, the brave, courageous

But I never thought

It would happen to me

Oh I never thought

But it did, you see

And suddenly I didn't think

I was strong, or brave, courageous

And suddenly I didn't think

That I would even make it

And I never thought

It would happen to me

Oh I never thought

But it did, you see

I learned to love

And that love got me hurt

I cried in pain

But I thought it's what I deserved

My life fell apart

But I tried to fix it up

But the pieces just got smaller

I wondered if I should just give up

And I thought to myself

I'm sorry for the ones

That go through this

The lost, but not forgotten

But I never thought

It would happen to me

Oh I never thought

But it did, you see

And suddenly I didn't think

That I could ever be found again

And suddenly I didn't think

That I would even make it

And I never thought

It would happen to me

Oh I never thought

But it did, you see

The bit naive, the fearless

The a-little-too open

The brave, the strong, courageous

The lost, but not forgotten

And I felt sorry for them

I didn't feel sorry for me

But I never thought

It would happen to me

Oh I never thought

But it did, you see

And suddenly I didn't think

That I could ever be found again

And suddenly I didn't think

That I would even make it

And I never thought

It would happen to me

Oh I never thought

But it did, you see

I never thought

It would happen to me
