This is my entry for :iconsolceress: & :iconnemi09: Emotions, Music & Two Girls Contest: fav.me/d7c4twqfav.me/d7cw2ej

This drawing is inspired by the song "Terrible Things" by Mayday Parade.
I am a fan of nostalgic, melancholic and sad songs because they just really make you feel.
So, the emotion I was trying to portray was sadness. I used a meadow/forest as the background because it feels like the place where they would laugh and watch the stars, as underlined in the lyrics.

I hope I did an alright job in portraying this song.

*the text in bold was the focal point of my drawing*

"Terrible Things"
by Mayday Parade

By the time I was your age, I'd give anything
To fall in love truly, was all I could think
That's when I met your mother, the girl of my dreams
The most beautiful woman, that I'd ever seen

She said, "Boy can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I can't help but notice, you're staring at me.
I know I shouldn't say this, but I really believe,
I can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me."

Now, son, I'm only telling you this
Because life can do terrible things.

Now, most of the time we'd have too much to drink
And we'd laugh at the stars and we'd share everything
Too young to notice, and too dumb to care
Love was a story that couldn't compare.

I said, "Girl, can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I made you a present with paper and string.
Open with care now, I'm asking you, please.
You know that I love you, will you marry me?"

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.


She said, "Boy can I tell you a terrible thing?
It seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks.
Please, don't be sad now, I really believe,
You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me."

Slow, so slow I fell to the ground on my knees.


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 her 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
