[Verse 1] The clock keeps ticking but it feels so wrong They lit up the room Now the light is gone Leaves fall too early Whispers in the air [Prechorus] Why do the stars fade before the dawn Why do the echoes keep moving on [Chorus] Why do the good die young Why is the song unsung The flame burns bright then it's done Tell me why do the good die young [Verse 2] They danced on edges Never feared the fall A heart so big Couldn't hold it all Laughter like rivers Now the silence stays [Prechorus] Why does the sun set before it’s high Why do the questions never reply [Chorus] Why do the good die young Why is the song unsung The flame burns bright then it's done Tell me why do the good die young
