You wake up, just to find out you've had another day
And you fight, just to get through all these lonely nights
And your good times left are like numbers on a paper counting down
With no one who cares you know you'll end up under ground

And die young
Die young

[CHORUS]
You can try, but you cannot change who you are
'Cause you're self-destructive
Stay alive, who're you foolin' you ain't gettin' far
'Cause you're self-destructive

Though it hurts, you're still tryin' to turn this hell around
But your will, ain't good enough to make the difference
It's so hard to make an effort when future lies in your destiny
There's nothing like knowin' your life's at stake and it's meant to be

And die young
Die young

[CHORUS]

I know the truth, cut's like a knife
But it's hard, knowin' someone's playin' with your life
You can buy anything you want, but not your health
You can help anyone in need, but not yourself
Not yourself
