[Verse 1] Streetlights hum like they're whispering prayers Lost voices linger in the cool night air Time moves slow but it still disappears Why does it leave us like this [Prechorus] I heard the echoes of a life undone Caught in the shadows where the good die young [Chorus] Gone too soon like a flame in the wind Burned so bright but the night pulled them in Gone too soon and the heartache's begun Why does it always feel like the good die young [Verse 2] Dreams left hanging like clothes on a line Faces in frames frozen in time We laugh We cry Then we ask the sky Why it always takes the best [Prechorus] Their names carved deep in a song unsung Caught in the shadows where the good die young [Chorus] Gone too soon like the stars in the dawn Here for a moment Then suddenly gone Gone too soon Now the silence has won Why does it always feel like the good die young
