Die Young Lyrics by Mark J

Flex

2019

Whippin in a murdered out Benz, G Class with his mamacita
Swervin down the freeway headed straight to the crib
Just to pop a couple bottles at the top of the hill
Tryna drown the pain, all away, swimming in some more tequila
Closing all the curtains while he's popping his pills
Tryna cope with all the voices that he knows are not real

He does this every day
And he knows that’s the price to pay
Living like a young James Dean
Headed early to the grave
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
I hope he's resting in a better place
Not feeling so numb

Guess only the good die young
Guess only the good die young
And he just wanna be the best to ever do it
Living in the fast lane and he's swerving through it
Guess only the good die young
Guess only the good die young
And he just wanna be the best to ever do it
I loved him like a brother and he always knew it

It’s been about a year since the day you left and I gotta tell you
I'm sorry that you battled all your demons alone
And I'm sorry that you never had some peace of your own
There hasn't been a day since that night you left that I haven't missed you
I keep on waiting hoping that you'll hit up my phone
But I know that it's a waste because you're not coming home

I miss you every day
And I know that’s the price we pay
Living like a young Cobain
You were hurting and afraid
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
I hope you’re resting in a better place
Not feeling so numb

Guess only the good die young
Guess only the good die young
And he just wanna be the best to ever do it
Living in the fast lane and he's swerving through it
Guess only the good die young
Guess only the good die young
And he just wanna be the best to ever do it
I loved him like a brother and he always knew it

He played all his cards and took it to far
And now he’s not here, he's up in the stars
I hope he's at peace, I hope all his scars have started to heal

Guess only the good die young
Guess only the good die young
And he just wanna be the best to ever do it
Living in the fast lane and he's swerving through it
Guess only the good die young
Guess only the good die young
And he just wanna be the best to ever do it
I loved him like a brother and he always knew it
