It's been a real long day, it's hard to smile You always liked to be alone You didn't have to be alone So much I would say if we had more time I was afraid that you would go I always felt it in my bones And when they tell you that the good die young Do they tell you what the good die from? You don't have to live a life so numb Now he's gone, she's gone And when they tell you that the good die young Do they tell you what the good die from? You don't have to throw your life away Now he's gone, she's gone As you drift away into the light Close your eyes and dream of home I love you more than you can know We all make mistakes in our lives You gotta learn to be strong Then you can always prove 'em wrong And when they tell you that the good die young Do they tell you what the good die from? You don't have to live a life so numb Now he's gone, she's gone And when they tell you that the good die young Do they tell you what the good die from? You don't have to throw your life away Now he's gone, she's gone Close your eyes and dream of home You don't have to be alone Close your eyes and dream of home You always liked to be alone And when they tell you that the good die young Do they tell you what the good die from? You don't have to live a life so numb Now he's gone, she's gone And when they tell you that the good die young Do they tell you what the good die from? You don't have to throw your life away Now he's gone, she's gone She's gone He's gone She's gone He's gone
