I Don’t Want to Die

[Verse 1]
A guy I went to school with got hit by a car yesterday
We weren't even friends but it still hit me in the same way
And it had me thinking if that night I'd walked the same street
It could've been me, that could've been me

And at two AM, his parents get a call from the cops
"Cause of death was a drunk driver, we're sorry for your loss"
Can't imagine what it must be like to bury the kid
You're gonna outlive, you're gonna outlive

[Chorus]
You just never know when you're gonna go
I'm scared that my time will come
And they'll say I was too young
Now I lay in bed, all up in my head
Thinking about leaving this world behind
I don't want to die

And be a body ten feet under the ground
Everyone I love gets used to me not being around
Life is finally getting good, I know one day that it'll end
But don't take me yet, please don't take me yet

You just never know when you're gonna go
I'm scared that my time will come
And there'll be so much that I still haven't done

Now I lay in bed, all up in my head
Thinking about not getting to say goodbye
I don't want to die

[Bridge]
I don't, I don't
I don't, I don't, I don't want to die
I don't, I don't
I don't, I don't, I don't want to die
I don't, I don't
(I don't want to)
I don't, I don't, I don't want to die
I don't, I don't
(I don't want to)
I don't, I don't, I don't want to die
I don't, I don't
(I don't want to)
I don't, I don't, I don't want to die
I don't, I don't
(I don't want to)
I don't, I don't, I don't want to die
I don't, I don't
(I don't want to)
I don't, I don't, I don't want to die
I don't, I don't
(I don't want to)
I don't, I don't, I don't want to—

[Outro]
I turned on the news this morning and I looked at his face
Guess I never really thought someone could die at our age
So I call my family, all the friends that I haven't seen
That could've been me, that could've been me
