lyrics

Sixteen and your life was caving in
And I won't be the sins of your past
Now nineteen and you're starting over again
And I just want to make amends with you
’Cause you haunt my head every night while I lay in bed
And you think of me oh like I’m just like in another freak

When we were young
We had it all

Now you're the only girl I have ever loved
With diamonds in your hair feet dripping with blood
Now you’re in my dreams but you're still real to me
Now I all I ever do now is want to sleep and dream of you

Darling please kill me while I’m young
The older I become the more I feel numb
Write me let me know you’re doing well
And thoughts of me still only give you hell

Cause you haunt my head every night while I lay in bed
And you think of me oh like I’m just like in another freak

When we were young
We had it all

Now you're the only girl I have ever loved
With diamonds in your hair feet dripping with blood
Now you're next to me
And we’re crying
’Cause there'll never be another you and me
How can this be
I know I’m gonna die
Close my eyes to a starry sky
Kiss my cheek I’ll be alright
I’ll dream of you in another life
I know I’m gonna die
Close my eyes to a starry sky
Kiss my cheek I’ll be alright
I’ll dream of you in another life
