Up from the ashes, out of the flames

 Keeps gettin' stronger, like a slow rollin' train

 Watch it run

 Oh, why do the good die young

 Burnin' like a shootin' star

 Born with a broken heart



 Off in the distance, it was callin' my name

 So I took me a ride, on that slow rollin' train

 It still runs

 But it seems that the good die young

 Playin' on that sad guitar

 Born with a broken heart

 Burnin' like a shootin' star

 Born with a broken heart



 Seems it was over, before it begun

 Killed by a bullet, from a six-string gun

 Bang a drum

 Oh, why do the good die young

 Ridin' in a long black car

 Born with a broken heart

 Playin' on that sad guitar

 Born with a broken heart

 Burnin' like a shootin' star

 Born with a broken heart
