I took a plane through the dawn Threw myself on the tracks But the train didn't come And I had to walk back I jumped into the whirlpool I thought I'd get sucked in But I just kept spinning around 'Til I learned how to swim I tried to die young Boy did I try But the voice deep inside Would not let me succumb And I laugh at the things that I've done When I tried to die young My heart kept on breaking And the crack sought the edge Where the hand of a shadow Grabbed the hand in my head There were demons, I know them And they still come by But we've become friends My demons and I I tried to die young Boy did I try But the voice deep inside Would not let me succumb And I laugh at the things that I've done When I tried to die young I took a razor to the wrist of reality Hell bent in my way toward futility I got a reason to believe that it won't Go on forever But reason to the heart Is a message undelivered I tried to die young Now I 'm the old boy I never thought I'd become Does it get any better? Asks the little boy in my song I'm still learning the answers So I make up things, you see He laughs: You're still the same And you'll never kill me I tried to die young, Boy, did I try But the voice deep inside Would not let me succumb And I laugh at the things that I've done When I tried to die young. And I laugh at the things that I've doneTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
