I'm older than my years
So much younger than my fears
The hour glass was turned so many times
Destiny, it shuffles cards
We try to learn to play them
Sometimes we get it wrong
I wanna live before I die
The sweet and bitter taste
To stand there on the edge
So close to the flame
With fire in my veins
I know I must try
To live before I die
I stay quiet in these rooms
Drown in the great abyss
And only those who knew me
Are the ones that I will miss
Destiny, it shuffles cards
We try to learn to play them
Sometimes we get it wrong
I wanna live before I die
The sweet and bitter taste
To stand there on the edge
So close to the flame
With fire in my veins
To live before I die
To breathe this breath of life
For never knowing why
How could I deny
It wasn't worth the pain
I know I must try
To live before I die
I sail into the mistake
Where nobody goes
I'm saved when all within me
Every sin will be exposed
I wanna live before I die
To breathe this breath of life
For never knowing why
How could I deny
It wasn't worth the pain
I know I must to try
To live before I die
I know I must try
To live before I die
