Young die

歌詞

I keep my shoes by the door Like I’m ready to leave at any time I fold my dreams into drawers They’ve faded soft like lullabies They say the world is wide and kind But I’ve only seen it from the side I light a candle, not for hope— Just for silence when I cry No, I won’t grow old Won’t wear the years like winter coats I’ll leave behind a younger ghost A name no one really knows And when the stars forget to shine Don’t look for me— I’ll be just fine Some lives were never meant to hold And I won’t grow old The clocks all skip around my hands Like time can’t stand to look at me And love, it lands then slips like sand— It never really chose to stay I write my name in fogged-up glass Watch it vanish just as fast It’s not a tragedy, you know To burn too bright and fade too slow No, I won’t grow old Won’t trade my fire for safe and cold Let memory be my only home And flowers bloom where I let go If morning comes and I’m not there Just breathe me in the morning air Some hearts were never built to hold And I won’t grow old So don’t cry for me in years to come I lived too fast, but I felt it all And maybe that’s enough, you know— To die young, but not alone
