Stay Alive

Stay alive 
Don’t die young
Baby 
Watch your ways 
You think those friends 
Of yours really love you 
You think you stand out 
Large 
Taking this hard drug 
Oh baby pause think 
Don’t die young but 
Stay alive 

Stay alive 
Everywhere you are found 
So high 
Everyone praise you 
Just to your face 
As many more laugh 
Behind your back 
Cos your curiosity 
Is obiviously obivious 
Your mistakes are clear
On your hard addiction 
So baby calm down
Pause a while and think 
Don’t die young but 
Stay alive 

Stay alive 
You can’t control yourself 
Any more 
Cos you are losing it 
That fire in you keeps 
Dying cos your dreams 
Are scattered 
Now depression is your worth
While all your friends are 
Far from you 
In a moment you need their 
Present 
You see how deep is life 
To you all young ladies 
Out there controls your addiction 
Or else you die young 
But my message still remains 
Don’t die young but 
Stay alive
