Never Die Young

When the angels came down

Did they give you a choice?

Would they have let you stay where you were?

Not to live here in pain

Should not bring you shame

And the light is so hard to deter

Well did the gates of heaven

Look just as you thought?

Did Sister Mary describe them quite well?

Years of Catholic school were all good to you

Because you were the angel who fell

And I am the one who will never die young

I am a martyr and I cannot hide

But I'm not a winner

I am just brilliantly bitter

I'm sealed by my skin

But broken inside

Angels are fragile

And devils are hot

And life is a masquerade

Colors will blend

And hearts will all mend

Just tell me you were never afraid

'Cause I am the one who will never die young

I am a martyr and I cannot hide

But I'm not a winner

I am just brilliantly bitter

I'm sealed by my skin

But broken inside

And there are babies laughing

And children running

And they say "read me a book, oh sing me a song,"

And I was the one who I felt so, so sorry for

But you are the one who is gone

So will you save me a seat

If I make it that far?

Will you even know

That I am the one?

I will be old

For the angels have told me

That I will never die young

'Cause I am the one who will never die young

I am a martyr and I cannot hide

But I'm not a winner

I am just brilliantly bitter

I'm sealed by my skin

But broken inside

And I will be old

For the angels have told me

That I will never die young

I'll never die young
