[Verse 1] It's been a real long day
It's hard to smile
You always liked to be alone
You didn't have to be alone
So much I would say if we had more time
I was afraid that you would go
I always felt it in my bones

[Chorus] And when they tell you that the good die young
Do they tell you what the good die from?
You don't have to live a life so numb
Now he's gone
She's gone

And when they tell you that the good die young
Do they tell you what the good die from?
You don't have to throw your life away
Now he's gone
She's gone

[Verse 2] As you drift away into the light
Close your eyes and dream of home
I love you more than you could know

We all make mistakes in our lives
You gotta learn to be strong
Then you can always prove 'em wrong

[Chorus] And when they tell you that the good die young
Do they tell you what the good die from?
You don't have to live a life so numb
Now he's gone
She's gone

And when they tell you that the good die young
Do they tell you what the good die from?
You don't have to throw your life away
Now he's gone
She's gone

[Bridge] Close your eyes and dream of home
You don't have to be alone
Close your eyes and dream of home
You always liked to be alone

[Chorus] And when they tell you that the good die young
Do they tell you what the good die from?
You don't have to live a life so numb
Now he's gone
She's gone

And when they tell you that the good die young
Do they tell you what the good die from?
You don't have to throw your life away
Now he's gone
She's gone

She's gone
He's gone
She's gone
He's gone
