Too Young To Die - The Divine Comedy

Too young to die, but too old to survive

I've spent too long trying to write this song

The tune is okay, but the words are all wrong

Maybe it's time for a change

I've lived a lie since the day I arrived

Building my dreams—grand romantic schemes

Now I'm twenty eight, but I'm still in my teens

Maybe it's time for a change

Now it's time to say goodbye

To my suit, my shirt, my tie

My youth seems to have passed me by

And I'm too young to die

I will not weep for what we leave behind

I must break free from that part of me

That values the art over the humanity

I think it's time for a change

I thought that I was doing fine

But now I've changed my mind

'Cause now it's time to say goodbye

To my suit, my shirt, my tie

My youth seems to have passed me by

And I'm too young to die

Maybe it's time for a change...
