Die Young

Although I'll die, I don't really wanna die young
Although I cry, I also really wanna have fun
God, I have dreams
Wanna help my mom
Wanna have my kids
Let the tears be gone
I don't wanna die young
Although I'll die, I don't really wanna die young
Although I cry, I also really wanna have fun
God, I have dreams
Wanna help my mom
Wanna have my kids
Let the tears be gone
I don't really wanna die young

I see young faces on the news, they ain't coming back
Dreams left hanging in the air, hearts painted black
No time for a family, no time for a plan
Life was stolen from their hands before it began
Coffins full of stories that will never be told
Dreams buried deep in the dirt, future turned cold
I wonder if I'm next, if my page will be torn
Before I even found out why I was born

Every night I'm asking why shadows chase my room
What if my Sun sets before I even bloom?
Every night I'm asking why shadows chase my room
What if my Sun sets before I even bloom?

Although I'll die, I don't really wanna die young
Although I cry, I also really wanna have fun
God, I have dreams
Wanna help my mom
Wanna have my kids
Let the tears be gone
I don't wanna die young
Although I'll die, I don't really wanna die young
Although I cry, I also really wanna have fun
God, I have dreams
Wanna help my mom
Wanna have my kids
Let the tears be gone
I don't really wanna die young

Dreams and plans are moving faster, they don't wait for me
I'm dealing with my demons, praying I break free
Got visions of a home, kids playing on the floor
But what if death knocks early right outside my door?
I'm carrying these fears like tattoos on my skin
Setting safe my soul long enough to win
Sometimes I see the grave when I close my eyes
Wonder if I'll ever get the chance to rise

Every night I'm asking why shadows chase my room
What if my Sun sets before I even bloom?
Every night I'm asking why shadows chase my room
What if my Sun sets before I even bloom?

Although I cry, I also really wanna have fun
God, I have dreams
Wanna help my mom
Wanna have my kids
Let the tears be gone
I don't wanna die young
Although I'll die, I don't really wanna die young
Although I cry, I also really wanna have fun
God, I have dreams
Wanna help my mom
Wanna have my kids
Let the tears be gone
I don't really wanna die young
