  • Burning down Neverland, scatter the ashes
    White lines, black tar, the matches
    Is this another dead by misadventure?
    Tell me what you got, what you really got, hey, hey

    We'll rest in our graves
    Lexington, course your veins
    Sleepers can't just wake the dead
    When needles and lovers collapse on guilty beds

    Fall asleep
    Don't fall asleep
    Don't fall asleep

    They lied when they said that the good die young
    They lied when they said the good die young, whoa, oh, oh, oh
    They lied when they said the good die young
    Stay with me, stay with me tonight

    Burning down bridges now, scatter the ashes
    Godspeed to all you're after
    Is this a life left just to remember?
    Tell them who you were, who you really were, hey, hey

    Kill yourself slowly over time
    Fashion statement suicide
    She's still asleep in the Chelsea hotel
    Bad turns to worse and the worse turns into hell

    Fall asleep
    Don't fall asleep
    Don't fall asleep

    God saved the eyes that are dim tonight
    They lied when they said the good die young, whoa, oh, oh, oh
    They lied when they said the good die young
    Stay with me, stay with me tonight

    Whoa, oh, oh, oh

    They lied when they said the good die young, whoa, oh, oh, oh
    They lied when they said the good die young
    Stay with me, stay with me tonight
    They lied when they said the good die young, whoa, oh, oh, oh
    They lied when they said the good die young
    Stay with me, stay with me tonight Writer/s: DEON REXROAT (16581), JOSEPH MILLIGAN (16580), NATHAN YOUNG (16578), STEVEN ARNOLD (16579)
