She's made her peace with her demons, so she's not alone
Sound asleep in the back seat on the drive home
I'm drunk on ideas of what will kill us faster
Eyes firmly fixed on our next disaster
So let me know what curses you wear on your sleeve
And let me know what sickness is the flavour of the week
I've got a smile like a broken record
So sing your saddest songs on repeat
Well, I'm so tired of idle,
We're far from perfect but I'm okay with denial
I've got these fears that tessellate through the threads in the wool
I miss the smell of smoke and the whiskey in a glass half full
No, I don't want to die young, I don't want to die young
No, I don't want to die young, I don't want to die young anymore
♪
Before I left I wrote you a letter
Said, "It's going to get worse before it gets any better"
So take a good hard look into these tired eyes
'Cause they're going to be tired for quite some time
No, I don't want to die young, I don't want to die young
No, I don't want to die young, I don't want to die young anymore
Would you kill for me? Because I'd kill for you
And I'd lay the world at your feet
I'd tear the world apart so you could stay beautiful
♪
Can you please just hold on? Lately you've started to fade
How are we so far gone? Look at the mess you've made
So please don't say a word, because I already know
That you've been drifting for days, my heart's no longer your home
I know we're dying lover, I've seen it in your eyes
And honestly? I die a little inside each time
I'd take the lives of thousands, tear apart the world
'Cause love is the violence inside us all
No, I don't want to die young, I don't want to die young
No, I don't want to die young, I don't want to die young anymore
Would you kill for me? Because I'd kill for you
And I'd lay the world at your feet
Tear it to pieces for you
No, I don't want to die young, I don't want to die young
No, I don't want to die young, I don't want to die young anymore
Would you kill for me? Because I'd kill for you
I'd tear the world apart so you could stay beautiful
