Here's what I think..

Don't you love the life you killed (she is pregnant and she is considering getting an abortion, it screwed up her life) The priest is on the phone (the church she goes to is upset) Your father hit the wall (her dad is upset) Your ma disowned you (her mom is really upset and disowned her)

Don't supposed I'll ever know What it means to be a man Somethin' I can't change I'll live around it (he's not sure of himself, that he can make a good life for her and her baby if he keeps it.. or if he'll have enough courage to keep the baby in the first place)

and I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete Little pieces of the nothin' that fall (he's ready and willing to do anything he can do for the girl and the baby even though he's not sure of himself)

Oh May Do you wanna get married, or run away? (do you want to keep the baby or abort it and run away from the responsibilities?)

Probably wrong, but I tried!
