Melanie I Tried To Die Young Lyrics

I tried to die young
Really I tried
But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb
I laugh at the things I've done
When I tried to die young

I took a plane through the dawn
Threw myself on the tracks
But the train didn't come and I had to walk back
I jumped into the whirlpool thought I get sucked in
I just kept spinning around 'til I learned how to swim

I tried to die young
Boy, did I tried
But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb
And I laugh at the things that I've done
When I tried to die young

My heart kept on breaking
And the crack sought the edge
Where the hand of a shadow grabbed the hand in my head
There where demons, I know them
And they still come by
But we've become friends, my demons and I

I tried to die young
Really I tried
But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb
And I laugh at the things that I've done
When I tried to die young I took a razor to the wrist of reality
Hell bent on my way toward futility
I got a reason to believe that it won't go on forever
But reason to the heart is a message undelivered

I tried to die young
Really, really I tried
But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb
And I laugh at the things I've done
When I tried to die young

Now I'm the old girl I never thought I'd become
Does it get any better asks the little girl in my song
I'm still learning the answers so I make up things, you
see
She laughs, you're still the same and you never kill me

I tried to die young
Really I tried
But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb
And I laugh at the things I've done
When I tried to die young

Oh, I laugh at the things I've done
Oh, I laugh at the things I've done
I laugh at the things I've done
When I tried to die young

I tried to die young...
