only the good die young.

we are sleeping but
you'd never know it because
we are still alive

our teeth are not clenched
and our fingers are not laced
but we are loving

we are happy but
you'd never know it because
we are still bawling

our hopes are too high
just for all the wrong reasons
but we are thankful

we are dead but we
are okay, because we know
our hopes were too high

and that's alright since
everything else will just slip
but we are loving

and that is all we will ever need to get by.
