I can't be locked down
Stay safe forever
In the arms of love
I am hopeless, divided
And fixed on your opinions
And how can you be so selfish
In a time that's immuned for letting go?

My mother said (my mother said, my mother said)
Respect the good and die young
My mother said (my mother said, my mother said)
We all die young

I can't break a bond that's broken
With a life that ends in sadness
But in these times I'm hoping
That we never hear regrets
And I can't be the one who's fighting
So hard to control this when this is my last goodbye

My mother said (my mother said, my mother said)
Respect the good and die young (die young)
My mother said (my mother said, my mother said)
We all die young

We all die (die)
We all die (die)
We all die (die)
We all die (die)
We all die
We all die

My mother said
Respect the good and die young

My mother said (my mother said, my mother said)
Respect the good and die young

My mother said (my mother said, my mother said)
Respect the good and die young (die young)
My mother said (my mother said, my mother said)
We all die young

We all die (die)
We all die (die)
We all die (die)
We all die (die)
We all die
We all die
We all die
