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
