I'm older than my years So much younger than my fears The hour glass was turned so many times Destiny, it shuffles cards We try to learn to play them Sometimes we get it wrong I wanna live before I die, the sweet and bitter taste To stand there on the edge, so close to the flame, with fire in my veins I know I must try to live before I die I stay quiet in these rooms Drown in the grade unbiased And only those who knew me are the ones that I will miss Destiny, it shuffles cards We try to learn to play them Sometimes we get it wrong I wanna live before I die, the sweet and bitter taste To stand there on the edge, so close to the flame, with fire in my veins To live before I die, the breathe this breath of life For never knowing why, how could I deny it wasn't worth the pain? I know I must try to live before I die I sail into the mystic where nobody goes I'm saved when all within me, every scene will be exposed I wanna live before I die, the breathe this breath of life For never knowing why, how could I deny it wasn't worth the pain? I know I must try to live before I die I know I must try to live before I die
