"Why Did We Die So Young" lyrics

Music fades and it leaves me crying
Cause I had a girl, Lord, we went flying
I give up on trying to get high
Letters wrote in the heat of passion
So damn sweet and so old-fashioned
Now one more time I got to ask you why

Why did we die so young?
There was a French kiss waiting on a red-hot tongue
Why did we die so young?
We were so wired up, we were so high-strung
I had one hand on the sweet breast
One hand on the gun
Why did we ever die so young?

Flashing back to the nights by the old school
I did things I wasn't supposed to
You looked up at me and said, it's okay
Giving love we thought would be endless
God, you know I never felt so friendless
I still don't know why to this day

Why did we die so young?
There was a French kiss waiting on a red-hot tongue
Why did we die so young?
We were so wired up, we were so high-strung
I had one hand on the sweet breast
One hand on the gun
Why did we ever die so young?

Blame it on the changing times, girl
Blame it on those jukebox times, girl
Heaven knows I hear the music playing
They say it's the ending of a teenage love song
They say it's alright, but you know it's all wrong
But don't ask me or you, cause we can't say

Why did we die so young, girl?
There was a French kiss waiting on a red-hot tongue
Why did we die so young?
We were so wired up, we were so high-strung
I had one hand on the sweet breast
One hand on the gun
Why did we ever die so young?
