The closing track and fifth single from Foo Fighters' 2021 album Medicine at Midnight.
The song is sung from the perspective of somebody who had their heart broken at a young age and never got over their initial pain.
[Verse 1]
Love dies young, and there's no resuscitation
Once it's done, no regeneration
It's a losin' game that'll make you play
Your hand against your chest, love dies young
[Verse 2]
Love dies young, and there's no reanimation
Once it's gone, no regeneration
It's a bitter kiss that'll make you wish
You never had a taste
[Chorus]
Love dies young, oh-oh
Love dies young, oh-woah
Please don't take my breath, don't take my breath away
Love dies young
[Verse 3]
Love's so dumb, so what's the fascination?
Leaves you numb with a nasty reputation
When you lose your head and lights go out
You'll never be the same
[Chorus]
Love dies young, oh-oh
Love dies young, oh-woah
Please don't take my breath, don't take my breath away
Love dies young
[Bridge]
Never-ending cemeteries, funeral parades
All your dreams are buried in their place
[Chorus]
Love dies young, oh-oh
Please don't take my breath, don't take my breath away
Love dies young
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Love dies young, oh-oh
Love dies young, oh-woah
Please don't take my breath, don't take my breath away
Love dies young
Love dies young
[Outro]
Love dies young
Love dies young
Love dies young, love dies young
Love dies young, love dies young
Love dies young
