Kestner, Molly Kate - Good Die Young Lyrics






I pick the paper up, God got another one
It makes me wonder if what I do is that enough, ooh
Lump in my throat, took the high road
Easy to be brave when the road's already paved
Sometimes I only see what's standin' right in front of me, no

Wanna believe in something bigger
Can't always see the bigger picture

Can you tell me why the good die young?
Where do they go? Why do they leave us
When there's so much more to be done?
And do they know how much we need 'em?
Can you tell me why the good die young?
Oh-oh-ooh-oh
Can you tell me why the good die young?
Woah-ooh-oh

A whole nation with heavy hearts in their chests
Nobody's got the words, but we're so afraid of the silence

Wanna believe in something bigger (oh noo)
Can't always see the bigger picture

Can you tell me why the good die young?
Where do they go? Why do they leave us
When there's so much more to be done?
And do they know how much we need 'em?
Can you tell me why the good die young?
Oh-oh-ooh-oh
Can you tell me why the good die young?
Woah-ooh-oh

People dying, I'm not crying for attention
I won't change (I won't change, I won't change)
What does it take for us to wake up?
We gotta learn to love again (love again, love again)
If this is a lesson
Then I don't think I get it
No, I don't think I get it

Can you tell me why the good die young?
Where do they go? Why do they leave us
When there's so much more to be done?
And do they know, oh!

Can you tell me why the good die young?
Oh yeah
Can you tell me, can anybody tell me
Why the good die young? Oh-oh-ooh-oh
Can you tell me why the good die young? Woah-ooh-oh
Why do the good, why do the good die young, oh yeah
Oh, there's so much more, so much more work to be done
Oh, no no no no, oh yeah

    Lyrics:


    I picked the paper up god got another one
    Makes me wonder if what I do has had enough (oh)
    Lump in my throat took the high road,
    Easy to be brave when the roads already paved,
    Sometimes I only see what’s standing right in front of me ( No, Oh)

    Wanna believe in something bigger
    Can’t always see the bigger picture
    Can you tell me why the good die young
    Where do they go, why do they leave us
    When there’s so much more to be done,
    And do they know how much we need em

    (2x)Can you tell my why the good die young oh

    A whole nation with heavy hearts in their chest,
    Nobody’s got the words,
    Why we so afraid of the silence,
    Wanna believe in something bigger
    Cant always see the bigger picture

    Can you tell me why the good die young,
    Where do they go, why do they leave us
    When there’s so much more to do be done
    And do they know how much we need em,
    Can you tell me why the good die young oh,

    People dying I’m not crying,
    For attention I want change
    (I want change, I want change)
    But does it pay for,
    Us to wake up we gotta learn to love again,
    (Love again, Love again)

    If this is a lesson then I don’t think I get it
    No I don’t think I get it,
    Can you tell me why the good die young
    Where do they go?
    Why do they leave us when there’s so much more to be done

    And don they know oh,
    Can you tell me why the good die young?!
    Oh, yeah can you tell me,
    Can anybody tell me?!

    Why do the good?
    Why do the good die young?
    No, yeah
    Oh there’s so much more
    So much more work to be done
    Oh, no no no no oh yeah

  57. T.... ....

    I'm surprised that she's an American! imagine that.

  58. E.... H....

    Sooooo obsessed with this song!!

  59. E.... T....

    Her vocal range is crazy!

  60. D.... ....

    Song is still relevant today😢 #MarjoryStonemanDouglasHighSchool

  61. C.... N....

    Just. Amazing.

  62. L.... D....

    Love this song! You look beautiful, btw💜💜💜!

  63. J.... T....

    A woman's voice is a contagious, contiguous, inspiring impetus on the male soul.

  64. B.... K....

    I see how lyrics are deep and meaningful and her voice is strong and stunning and then there is a video about some shitty, cliché luv in Romeo and Juliet style. And i don't get it.






    Or ok, maybe i get it, but i hate the idea that young means good, bc please what good this two banana idiots from Verona do in their lives? Also here we see only their love, ok i see that love is good etc. but here: "When there's so much more to be done?", so what else they can do? More love to each other? I've heard that can be really awkward sometimes.

  65. �.... ....

    인생곡인거같아요 ㅠ진심 맨날 듣고있어요❤❤❤❤

  66. A.... A....

    Christina Grimmie 😭😭

    I am such a huge fan!!! All of your songs are pure gold! Keep up the amazing work!!!

  71. C.... A....

    I am really happy about the music industry now after the nonsense " pitbull" era :)

  72. H.... S....

    This is honestly the best song I have ever heard. And I will stand by that forever

  73. C.... ....

    I like to think that the good die young because God wants to have them back because they're good people and the not so good people have longer lives because he's trying to wait as long as possible to take them back because they're not as good poeple

  74. A.... S....

    I was wondering the same thing.

  75. x.... �....

    Is nobody gonna mention that if it was spelt "GoodDYEYoung" it would be the name of a hair dye company lol

  76. K.... F....

    I love this song, I love that your songs actually have a beautiful meaning unlike the crap that plays on the radio

  77. A.... B....

    they die young because people are a bunch of immature pricks

  78. �.... ....

    This really reminds me of Christina

  87. D.... S....

    You are amazing. You actually have true talent when it comes to singing unlike the other famous singers out there. You have inspired me in a lot of ways. The first song I ever heard you sing was his daughter live my mom's ex bf tagged me in it and told me listen to it. I did and it hit right at home for me. Your song footprints reminds my bf of him and his little sisters relationship. Your song I don't know helped one of my friends with one of their relationships and getting out of it because it wasn't healthy. All of your songs have spoke to me so deeply and I just keep finding songs of yours that i love and that inspire me and take my breath away.

  88. A.... C....

    I need the Album asap!

    My cousin died young and after years of trying to write a song on how I feel I found this song. This is how I feel and thank you for conveying the words I fail to write.

  91. n.... o....

    I PICKED THE PAPER UP

    Me: because i tried to do i trick shot and throw the paper into the bin then dab but i missed then i had to pick it up cos of my teacher.... ;-;

  92. M.... K....

    This reminds me of my 18yo cousin. He died doing what he loved. He died on a track, on his motorbike. He was very hardworking and talented person. Sadly, he will never show this talent to others. He was a shy guy with passion in his eyes. Hope he is happy up there. I've never met a person like him. He was always there for others, he helped so many people. Why he had to go too soon? Probably i will never understand this lesson. Thank you for this song Molly, it's one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard. Greetings from Poland x

  93. G.... I....

    you make me cry ;_;

  94. R.... W....

    So good, props.

  95. S.... N....

    I love you ❤️
