I Don’t Wanna Die Lyrics by Khaid
Doctor said I’ll be alright but I’m not sure
If I go to sleep I’ll die, seem so awkward
Demons in the night call my damn phone
If the humans lived in heaven, heaven’s downfall
Cause I don’t wanna try, teenage homicide
Lonely in the night, girl I don’t wanna die
I don’t wanna die, I don’t wanna die
I don’t wanna die, meet you on the other side
F** is a ** who get chained by the reaper
Can you take a stand with me
If I die soon then we’ll all agree
F** is a ** who got chained by the reaper
** its over uhn, I’ll be drinking soda uhn
Race death in Toyota, got me feeling like a soldier uhn
Baby I’m bipolar uhn maybe I don’t know ya uhn
