"Only The Good Die Young" lyrics

"Only The Good Die Young"

I was 24 when all my friends
Gave up on their religions
You know, Marx called it an opium
But I just call You Jesus
I was 25 when I hit the wall
Broke my wrist playing basketball
You know, they say that pride comes before the fall
And I'm on the ground again

Is it true only the good die young?
Is growing old just forgetting where you came from?
Is it true only the good die young?
Young
And is faith like falling in love?
Gets harder once you lose that adolescent rush
Is it true only the good die young?
Young

Well, 26 seems a ways off
But I'm sure it'll be here soon enough
You know, the brightest gold, it still can rust
And these years, they come like waves

Is it true only the good die young?
Is growing old just forgetting where you came from?
Is it true only the good die young?
Young
And is faith like falling in love?
Gets harder once you lose that adolescent rush
Is it true only the good die young?
Die young, oh

Remember what it was like
Being a child
Knowing it was alright
When You said it's alright
Remember what it was like
Being a child
Knowing it was alright
When You said it's alright

Is it true only the good die young?
Is growing old just forgetting where you came from?
Is it true only the good die young?
Young
And is faith like falling in love?
Gets harder once you lose that adolescent rush
Is it true only the good die young?
Die young, oh

Remember what it was like
Being a child
Knowing it was alright
When You said it's alright
Remember what it was like
Being a child
Knowing it was alright
When You said it's alright
