The Manges I Tried To Die Young Lyrics The Manges lyrics

I took a plane through the dawn, threw myself on the tracks,
But the train didn't come, and I had to walk back.
I jumped into the whirlpool, thought I'd get sucked in;
I just kept spinning around till I learned how to swim.

I tried to die young, boy, did I try
But the voice deep inside didn't let me succumb.
And I laugh at the things I've done
When I tried to die young!

My heart kept on breaking and the crack sought the edge
Where the hand of a shadow grabbed the hand in my head.
There were deamons, I know them, and they still come by
But we've become friends, my demons and I.

I tried to die young, boy, did I try
But the voice deep inside didn't let me succumb.
And I laugh at the things I've done
When I tried to die young!


I took a razor to the wrist of reality
Hell-bent on my way toward futility.
I've got a reason to believe that it won't go on forever
But reason to the heart is a message undelivered.
I tried to die young!
Now I'm the old girl I never thought I'd become
Does it get any better? Asks the little girl in my song.
I'm still learning the answers, so I make-up the sings you see,
He laugh, 'you're still the same, and you'll never kill me!'

I tried to die young, boy, did I try
But the voice deep inside didn't let me succumb.
And I laugh at the things I've done
When I tried to die young!
And I laugh at the things I've done
When I tried to die young!
