Too young to die but too old to survive

Too young to die
But too old to survive -
I've spent too long
Trying to write this song.
The tune is okay
But the words are all wrong -
Maybe its time for a change.

I've lived a lie
Since the day I arrived,
Building my dreams
Grand romantic schemes.
Now I'm 28
But I'm still in my teens -
Well maybe its time for a change.

Now it's time to say goodbye
To my suit, my shirt, my tie.
My youth seems to have passed me by
And I'm too young to die.

I will not weep
For what we leave behind.
I must break free
From that part of me
That values the art
Over the humanity.
I think its time for a change.

I thought that I
Was doing fine
But now I've changed my mind

'Cause now its time to say goodbye
To my suit, my shirt, my tie.
My youth seems to have passed me by
And I'm too young to die.

Too young to die,
Yeah,
Too young,
Too young
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Maybe its time for a change.
