*This song is supposed to be from John's perspective after the fall. He marries but only because he has no other option and he has a son, who he is talking to throughout the song.
By the time I was your age I'd give anything
To be happy, truly was all I could think.
That's when I met him, my best friend it would seem.
A most unpleasant man from what I had seen.
He said "Sir, can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I know everything about you. See you in 221b.
I know I shouldn't say this but I really believe
You might be the one who can put up with me."
Now son, I'm only telling you this because life can do terrible things.
Now most of the time he'd have to much nicotine,
And he'd laugh at my IQ,
and tell us everything we were too blind to notice and too dumb to care
There were some stories that couldn't compare.
I said, "Hey, can I tell you a frightening thing?
Moriarty came back and he came clean.
They let him go free, did you hear me?
He'll be coming for you soon.
Are you listening?"
Now son, I'm only telling you this because life can do terrible things.
You'll learn one day.
I'll hope and I'll pray that God shows you differently
He said "John, can I tell you a terrible thing?
It seems that I lied about everything.
Please don't be sad now I really believe
You will be better off once you forget about me."
Slow, so slow, he fell to the ground as I screamed.
So don't fall in love there's just too much to lose.
If you're given the choice then I beg you to choose to walk away.
Walk away, don't let them get you.
I can't bear to see the same happen to you.
Now son, I'm only telling you this because life can do terrible things.
