THE MANGES - I Tried To Die Young lyrics

rate me

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, thought I’d get sucked in;

I just kept spinning around till I learned how to swim.

Chorus:

I tried to die young, boy, did I try

But the voice deep inside didn’t let me succumb.

And I laugh at the things 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 deamons, I know them, and they still come by

But we’ve become friends, my demons and I.

Chorus:

I tried to die young, boy, did I try

But the voice deep inside didn’t let me succumb.

And I laugh at the things I've done

When I tried to die young!

I took a razor to the wrist of reality

Hell-bent on my way toward futility.

I've 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 girl I never thought I'd become

Does it get any better? Asks the little girl in my song.

I’m still learning the answers, so I make-up the sings you see,

He laugh, “you’re still the same, and you’ll never kill me!”

Chorus:

I tried to die young, boy, did I try

But the voice deep inside didn’t let me succumb.

And I laugh at the things I've done

When I tried to die young!

And I laugh at the things I've done

When I tried to die young!
