Lyrics Lori McKenna – 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

I am the one who will never die young
I am a martyr and I can not hide
But I’m not a winner, I’m 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

I am the one who will never die young
I am a martyr and I can not hide
But I’m not a winner, I’m just brilliantly bitter
I’m sealed by my skin, but broken inside

And there are babies laughing and children running
Saying «read me a book, 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 can not hide

And I will be old for the angels have told me that I —

Will never die young…
