I said I don't want to die young, I want to outlive all my family
I don't want them to go through the pain of losing me, so they can die happily
Let me deal with the pain of losing you, save you from experiencing tragedy
Please don't be mad at me, it's only because I love you that I want to protect you from me
I don't want to die young
I don't want to die young
I don't want to die young
It's my burden to carry, it's my cross to bear
Children are supposed to bury their parents, and that's the way it's meant to be
I want to save you from this pain, if only this world would let me
