If I could sing a song to make it true you still exist Well I would find a choir and a cathedral Sing every hymn I know To find a miracle To turn the time and find a way to freeze it The good die young It was a hell of a ride Was Heaven it was magic an illusion of light And it was on our tongue like the edge of a knife Was everything we had that we wanted so bad Why do the good die young Well I can’t sing a song to make it true you still exist And trust me that’s a certain kind of sorrow 'Cause everywhere I go I see you and I don’t Yeah, we had a yesterday but no tomorrow The good die young It was a hell of a ride Was Heaven it was magic an illusion of light And it was on our tongue like the edge of a knife Was everything we had that we wanted so bad Why do the good die young Why do the good die young And if you’re out past the satellites I'm looking up to the stars tonight Do what I can just to stay alive And it’s so hard not to look behind I wish I could find you a way back home And hear your voice through the telephone It’s the little things that I missed the most I’ll never know Why the good die young It was a hell of a ride Was Heaven it was magic an illusion of light And it was on our tongue like the edge of a knife Was everything we had that we wanted so bad Why do the good die young Why do the good die young
