The Band Perry - If I Die Young

If I Die Young by The Band Perry

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, oh well
I've had just enough time

And I'll be wearing white when I come into Your Kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
I've never known the loving of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand
there's a boy here in town says that he'll love me forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by

The sharp knife of a short life, oh Well,
I've had just enough time

So put on your best, boys and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts,
Oh no,
I'll sell em' for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
and maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing
funny, when you're dead how people start listenin'

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need 'em, oh

The sharp knife of a short life, oh well
I've had just enough time

So put on your best, boys and I'll wear my pearls  



It sounds like depicting a young girl committing suicide, which is rather common for the neglected ones.
They're even too young before learning how to be persevering when facing with problems.
Choosing to end up their lives is an express way, much easier than fighting against the troubles.
Or they're simply demand for attendance, else they'll do shocking silly thing to distract all adult's focus, and yet, too late by the time, funny, when you're dead how people start listenin'

Furthermore, we should concern more on cases dying so young before they've had experienced their lives, like what depicted in The Lovely Bones (2009)
