The Divine Comedy - Too young to die

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 its time for a change. 

I've lived a lie 

Since the day I arrived, 

Building my dreams 

Grand romantic schemes. 

Now I'm 28 

But I'm still in my teens - 

Well maybe its 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 its time for a change. 

I thought that I 

Was doing fine 

But now I've changed my mind 

'Cause now its 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. 

Too young to die, 

Yeah, 

Too young, 

Too young 

Yeah, yeah, yeah! 

Maybe its time for a change.
