Down by our tree, that's where I keep you close
Beneath the leaves are where our dreams unfold
Don't hesitate, don't make me wait. No more
No more

Your colors fade. I feel betrayed by you
I can't see straight. What have you made me do?
We used to be so wild and free
Now, we're lost, it seems

Oh, the good die young
Oh, the good die young
Say the good die young
Oh, they can't outrun
Say the good die young
Oh, the good die young
Oh, the good die young

The silence breaks the sound. It makes me fear
No time for tears. No one can hear you, dear
You made your choice. Don't raise your voice
At me. No more
No more

Just go on and leave your heart behind now
You know it can be so hard to find love
Just go on and leave your—leave your heart

Oh, the good die young
Oh, the good die young
Say the good die young
Oh, the good die young
Oh, the good die young
