Frank Sinatra died today

I came home and found my mama crying

The TV had so much to say

Somehow I was thinking about dying

I'm seventeen and thinking about dying



I don't want to live forever

Just want to know that I'm alive

Don't want to live forever

Just until the day I die



I see my daddy in his chair

He sits there night and day

The TV still looks good as new

Daddy's old and gray

And it's scaring me to death

I don't want to go that way



I don't want to live forever

Just want to know that I'm alive

Don't want to live forever

Just until the day I die



Just because your heart's still beating

It don't mean that you're alive

Don't want to live forever

Nobody lives forever

Gonna live while I'm alive



You can see the glass half-empty

You can see the glass half-full

But all I see are shattered dreams

Around this neighborhood



My brother's girlfriend's pregnant

And today she's moving in

My friends all play the lottery

And swear one day they'll win

I'm seventeen, I'm thinking about dying

I'm seventeen, no way I'm dying



Don't want to live forever

Just want to know that I'm alive

Don't want to live forever

Just until the day I die

Just because you're breathing

It don't mean that you're alive



Don't want to live forever

Nobody lives forever

I don't want to live forever

Nobody lives forever

Don't want to live forever

I don't want to live forever

Nobody lives forever

I don't want to live forever

Don't want to live forever

I don't want to live forever

Nobody lives forever

I don't want to live forever

Nobody lives forever

I don't want to live forever
