joy oladokun - mighty die young lyrics
[verse 1]
carry my load
like you carry my songs
it’s a long road
and i’m a little star drunk
don’t give me your roses
just carry me home
when the spotlight grows cold
and the applause don’t mean much
[chorus]
the mighty die young
glitter in their eyes, smoke in their lungs
the mighty die young
feathers in their hair, dust on their tongues
[post+chorus]
i wanna grow old
i’m not mighty, i’ve only just begun
the mighty die young
[verse 2]
they say i’m too old
for hollywood’s shine
and maybe they’re right
i’ve got a wrinkle in my smile, i wanna see it grow
they say i’m too kind
maybe i’ll keep that in mind, i’ve been robbed of my dignity
one too many times
[chorus]
the mighty die young
glitter in their eyes, smoke in their lungs
the mighty die young
feathers in their hair, dust on their tongues
[post+chorus]
i wanna grow old
i’m not mighty, i’ve only just begun
the mighty die young
