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
I thought I'd get sucked in
But I just kept spinning around
‘Til I learned how to swim
I tried to die young
Boy did I try
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 were demons, I know them
And they still come by
But we’ve become friends
My demons and I
I tried to die young
Boy did I try
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 in 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
Now I ‘m the old boy
I never thought I’d become
Does it get any better?
Asks the little boy in my song
I’m still learning the answers
So I make up things, you see
He laughs: You’re still the same
And you’ll never kill me
I tried to die young,
Boy, did I try
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.
And I laugh at the things that I’ve done
