[English]

I want to fly into your sun

Need fear to make me numb

Live like a teenage Christ

I'm a saint, got a date with suicide

Oh, Mary, Mary

To be this young is oh, so scary

Mary, Mary

To be this young I'm oh, so scared

I wanna live, I wanna love

But it's a long hard road out of hell

I wanna live, I wanna love

But it's a long hard road out of hell

You never said forever could ever hurt like this

You never said forever could ever hurt like this

Do do do do

Do do do

Do do do do

Do do do do

Do do do

Do do do do

Spin my way out of hell, there's nothing left in this soul to sell

I live fast and die fast too

How many times to do this for you?

How many times to do this for you?

Mary, Mary

To be this young I'm oh, so scared

I wanna live, I wanna love

But it's a long hard road out of hell

I wanna live, I wanna love

But it's a long hard road out of hell

You never said forever could ever hurt like this

You never said forever could ever hurt like this

Do do do do

Do do do

Do do do do

Do do do do

Do do do

Do do do do

I wanna live, I wanna love

But it's a long hard road out of hell

I wanna live, I wanna love

But it's a long hard road out of hell

Long hard road out of hell

I wanna live, I wanna love

But it's a long hard road out of hell

Sell my soul for anything, do anything for you

Sell my soul for anything, do anything for you
