"Die Young" lyrics

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"

I don't want to die young anymore

Stay beautiful, stay beautiful, stay beautiful

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
Because they're going to be tired for quite some time

I don't want to die young anymore
Would you kill for me? Because I'd kill for you
I'd lay the world at your feet
I'd tear the world apart so you could stay beautiful

Stay beautiful, kill for me

Can you please 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
Because love is the violence inside us all

Would you kill for me? Because I'd kill for you
I'd tear the world apart so you could stay beautiful
Stay beautiful
Kill for me
