(What a devastating turn of events) A recommendation from a friend of a friend Took a follow then a little DM She was tempted, never had a lover She hesitated but she'd seen him before He asked her out and she couldn't ignore So excited, another world to discover Oh no, God damn I wish she'd known back then The beginning to the end was near But lust was in the air Getting giddy as she tells her friends Facetimes 'til 2AM What a fascinating boy she didn't choose But she's got nothing to lose Two heads in the morning bed Felt a little foreign, but she didn't regret She was lonely, couldn't tell anybody He said all the right things and it got to her head She felt a feeling that she didn't expect In the moment, she didn't want anybody But him, she'd planned A wedding in her head With who she thought would be her man Her Charming 'til the end All she wanted was a kid, a fam Oh, goodness, gracious, damn What a complicated view far from the truth Then here, here came something new (What a devastating turn of events) Three weeks on, then he left her on read A morning sickness and she knew it from then She'd be crying in despair to her mother Out of wedlock which her family despise But if she lost it, it would still be a crime Now she's crying from the sight of her mother Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh no, God damn I wish she'd known back then The beginning to the end was near Still, hope was in the air In her desperation, life's unfair For women where she lives What a disappointing world she didn't choose With a man's ego to bruise Spamming messages with tears in her eyes Little did she know, it'd be the day that she'd die In the kitchen, eating things that she shouldn't She woke up dizzy under hospital lights Her poor mother had the shock of her life When the doctors said they tried and couldn't Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo What a devastating turn of events I wish she'd known back then All she wanted was a lover, a friend Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo What a devastating loss we didn't choose She's in me and she's in you What a devastating turn of events All she wanted was a lover, a friend
