I lost a close friend on November 7th.. when you released this song, I instantly bawled my eyes out and broke the replay button. Dealing grief has been the hardest part of all of this for me.. the line, "if this is a lesson, then I don't think I get it." Really hits home for me. I don't think I'll ever understand why this happened.. thank you for this song, Molly. Rest In Heaven Kimmy. I love you babygirl. ❤
CarsonLovesYou12 I lost my close cousin (she was a big sister to me), on June 3, 2011, when a drunk driver blindsided her. I was in the passenger seat and was pulled out of the car with minor bruises. The experience/loss was so traumatic, it destroyed me. Going through something like that changes you, or at least it changed me. I lost several friends because I wasn't in my right mind. I was so depressed and upset, that I did and said things I never would've. I love you Holly, more than you ever knew.
Lyrics: I pick the paper up, God got another one It makes me wonder if what I do is that enough, ooh Lump in my throat, took the high road Easy to be brave when the road's already paved Sometimes I only see what's standin' right in front of me, no Wanna believe in something bigger Can't always see the bigger picture Can you tell me why the good die young? Where do they go? Why do they leave us When there's so much more to be done? And do they know how much we need 'em? Can you tell me why the good die young? Oh-oh-ooh-oh Can you tell me why the good die young? Woah-ooh-oh A whole nation with heavy hearts in their chests Nobody's got the words, but we're so afraid of the silence Wanna believe in something bigger (oh noo) Can't always see the bigger picture Can you tell me why the good die young? Where do they go? Why do they leave us When there's so much more to be done? And do they know how much we need 'em? Can you tell me why the good die young? Oh-oh-ooh-oh Can you tell me why the good die young? Woah-ooh-oh People dying, I'm not crying for attention I won't change (I won't change, I won't change) What does it take for us to wake up? We gotta learn to love again (love again, love again) If this is a lesson Then I don't think I get it No, I don't think I get it Can you tell me why the good die young? Where do they go? Why do they leave us When there's so much more to be done? And do they know, oh! Can you tell me why the good die young? Oh yeah Can you tell me, can anybody tell me Why the good die young? Oh-oh-ooh-oh Can you tell me why the good die young? Woah-ooh-oh Why do the good, why do the good die young, oh yeah Oh, there's so much more, so much more work to be done Oh, no no no no, oh yeah
I've been a fan for a very long time and am very happy to see your career taking off, this song hits me particularly hard but I believe real music should make you feel something and yours really does I am looking forward to getting your first Album.
andrew carson That’s so sensible. Someone didn’t agree with a song choice. Yes, obviously it must be a jealous and shallow hater. People can’t possibly have their own thoughts, experiences, and emotions to bring to the equation to possibly make them come to a different conclusion. Wow. You’re really a wonderful example of cool heads prevailing in this age of instant dismissal and shallow reasoning. Good for you for bucking the trend and using your brain. You’re an absolute inspiration.
My cousin died young and after years of trying to write a song on how I feel I found this song. This is how I feel and thank you for conveying the words I fail to write.
Why in the world are you not more famous, you're amazing and I'm sooo obsessed not only with your talent but the positivity you spread with each video!
Leah R nah i think it's just a way to cope with deaths of loved ones. it's not like she said "i want my mom to die because she's an angel and god needs her back" i think she just meant if her mom were to actually die, she'd try to look on the bright side and think of it that way
we all have to deal with death sooner or later so what's wrong with "romanticising" it? You can either be afraid of death and look at it as the worst thing that could possibly happen to anybody or you could try to think a little bit more optimistic. I personally, don't believe that "god needs some of his angels back" but I like that thought and I'd like to believe that it's actually like that. There is no right or wrong or too romantic opinion about death. No one can proof who has the right theory. Maybe it's just pitch black nothing after you died, maybe you'll be sitting on clouds next to Jesus and have a blast. Why is it a bad thing if you choose not to be scared of something as unavoidable as death?
It was about three years ago and I was in the kitchen at the old family house clearing out cupboards with generations worth of collections in them. My father was in the next room, the breezeway, fooling around on internet land. He yelled for me to come out there and listen to this girl's voice! He played me "His Daughter." We listened to it three times before we decided we had to listen to every video that you had posted on TH-cam. We sat and we listened and the kitchen cupboards didn't get finished that day. Maybe a month later, he died suddenly. He had a heart attack. For weeks I listened to our favorite songs and I also listened to all of the songs we discovered of you and I've listened to you since, though not quite as obsessively... Thank you. I absolutely LOVE this new song, it's perfect; so relatable.
I feel like this song is saying good people are always bullied and usually kill themselves because of it and people are usually young when they do. At least that is how I see it. I like how you are becoming more famous and still keeping the true meaning of music with that. Thank you Molly you truly are an inspiration to me.
Marianne Jackson In one of her videos, she said that prince dying inspired her to write this song since she thought that he was a good person and he died at a young age. She also said that she noticed that a lot of other good people died young, that's why she wrote this song.
KittenHere um OR twenty one pilots. you might be thinking "ew emo depressed band" whenever someone says that it makes me mad because, they dont just sing about depression-they sing about problems other people go through and it makes them feel not alone and lyrics telling them to fight it so
I feel like it’s saying the good people are the ones who stand up for what they believe in. When they speak their minds and truths people begin to hate them. So much so that they kill them. Maybe that’s just in context of the BLM movement but whenever anyone mentions the issues in America they get reprimanded pretty hard.
I haven't heard of Molly in a very long time, I decide to see if she has uploaded something and this came up. I am in tears. good die young should have more recognition than it has right now. Molly, you are a miracle. Every time I watch your videos it gives me so much hope. So for that, thank you so much. All the love.
Beautiful song I have been listening to you for years and this song is great reminder for the loved ones we have lost. it definitely hits home. thanks for continuing your career the way you have. keep up the amazing work.
I have been following you for almost 3 years now since I stumbled across your song, "His Daughter", it is so amazing to see just how much you have grown as an artist! I hope to listen to another new song of yours soon!
Wow I'm obsessed with your music. His Daughter was always my favorite but I think this song has it beat now! I love you so much and I love your music and I would really love to sing with you at some point. its definitely on my bucket list.
Thank you for this song. My dear friend just passed away last week. He was so young and it was so sudden. I can't stop asking why. There is so much that was left unsaid. You have a beautiful heart.
love you! I show EVERYONE I know your videos.. Your voice is second only to your lyrics. So happy you're getting out there more! You go girl! Your songs have gotten me threw the worst breakup of my life, a few deaths....THANK YOU!! 💜💜💜
This reminds me of my 18yo cousin. He died doing what he loved. He died on a track, on his motorbike. He was very hardworking and talented person. Sadly, he will never show this talent to others. He was a shy guy with passion in his eyes. Hope he is happy up there. I've never met a person like him. He was always there for others, he helped so many people. Why he had to go too soon? Probably i will never understand this lesson. Thank you for this song Molly, it's one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard. Greetings from Poland x
molly I love you I remember when you were that senior in high and his daughter took off and your music had helped me a lot harder to breath that song helped me so much ily
This song really deserves to be number one. If i play it non stop on repeat all day all night will I be able to get it 'up there' with all the pop songs? Maybe if i can, more people will be able to find it and discover its beauty and message.
I've been a huge fan since his daughter and I got my best friend into your music too I am honestly so happy to see you grow into such an amazing artist I will be following your music for a long time I believe
I feel privileges to watch you grow! Your music hasnt become better, its just changed and grown as you have! I love it all, complexity, my heart and soul feel your words.
I like her voice more than most famous singers.
I totally agree with this statement.
♛ Huffdaddy™ totally😊
150% agree!
Same
same.
I've been a massive fan since I first heard your song His Daughter. I love this. Beautiful.
Jasmine :3 Me too! All of her songs are beautiful
I've been a fan since before then.....
FandomCosplayer lol first time I read it was "I've been fat" lol
Jasmine :3 me too
Jasmine :3 same
How does this not have more views!?!?!
MFC8kloc right
We don't know, it's still a mystery it's scientist today!

CarsonLovesYou12 that's a coincidence. my mom passed away on november 7, in 2014. this song makes me cry cause of how much i remember her

Lyrics:
I pick the paper up, God got another one
It makes me wonder if what I do is that enough, ooh
Lump in my throat, took the high road
Easy to be brave when the road's already paved
Sometimes I only see what's standin' right in front of me, no
Wanna believe in something bigger
Can't always see the bigger picture
Can you tell me why the good die young?
Where do they go? Why do they leave us
When there's so much more to be done?
And do they know how much we need 'em?
Can you tell me why the good die young?
Oh-oh-ooh-oh
Can you tell me why the good die young?
Woah-ooh-oh
A whole nation with heavy hearts in their chests
Nobody's got the words, but we're so afraid of the silence
Wanna believe in something bigger (oh noo)
Can't always see the bigger picture
Can you tell me why the good die young?
Where do they go? Why do they leave us
When there's so much more to be done?
And do they know how much we need 'em?
Can you tell me why the good die young?
Oh-oh-ooh-oh
Can you tell me why the good die young?
Woah-ooh-oh
People dying, I'm not crying for attention
I won't change (I won't change, I won't change)
What does it take for us to wake up?
We gotta learn to love again (love again, love again)
If this is a lesson
Then I don't think I get it
No, I don't think I get it
Can you tell me why the good die young?
Where do they go? Why do they leave us
When there's so much more to be done?
And do they know, oh!
Can you tell me why the good die young?
Oh yeah
Can you tell me, can anybody tell me
Why the good die young? Oh-oh-ooh-oh
Can you tell me why the good die young? Woah-ooh-oh
Why do the good, why do the good die young, oh yeah
Oh, there's so much more, so much more work to be done
Oh, no no no no, oh yeah
Beatriz Orille thankss
Lee Green hahhaa I also need the lyrics tho so
Beatriz Orille regardless. You shared and I'm thankful
Beatriz Orille thansk
Thank youu
Why doesn't this have way more views??? This song is incredible
Emily Hope ikr!! Exactly!! 👌
I've been a fan for a very long time and am very happy to see your career taking off, this song hits me particularly hard but I believe real music should make you feel something and yours really does I am looking forward to getting your first Album.
she's such an unsung hero. she needs to be played on the radio. more people need to hear and apreciate this.
This song should have been used for 13 reasons why. It seems pretty perfect
Zen Aeisha yeah I really didn't think selena's song fit tht good
Yeah, I understand why they did it but i think that this song seemed to fit it a lot better.
Lily Cortès Fucking HATER

They played this at my uncle's funeral and I cried so hard.😔
Liberty Gantner I'm so sorry about your uncle. I hope this song brings you some comfort ❤️
This should be the #1 billboard song out right now.
Did anybody else realize that the visuals are very closely inspired by Romeo & Juliet? I love it!! :)
isagination Yes, and on the piece of paper with the phone number is the name Julie ;)
isagination yeaa
isagination I see it now that you point it out
My cousin died young and after years of trying to write a song on how I feel I found this song. This is how I feel and thank you for conveying the words I fail to write.
listened to this like 20 times over the last week, can not wait for full album!!!!!
Listening to this feels like it heals all the pain of a terrible loss. Thank you for singing this song!
we need more music like this... instead of songs that have no meaning thanks for putting your heart and soul into this song♡
Love the song, the video, you just awesome, waiting for a full album!!!!
why is Molly so underrated?
so amazing! so much talent ur gonna go so far with ur talent. u go girl!
Why in the world are you not more famous, you're amazing and I'm sooo obsessed not only with your talent but the positivity you spread with each video!
I like to think that good people die young because God needs some of his angels back
That is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard if not the most beautiful one.
Pixel Gal it kinda sounds like you're romanticising death... :/
Leah R nah i think it's just a way to cope with deaths of loved ones. it's not like she said "i want my mom to die because she's an angel and god needs her back" i think she just meant if her mom were to actually die, she'd try to look on the bright side and think of it that way

Pixel Gal or maybe he doesn't want them to go through the pain that life throws at ya
It's been 29 years since my sister died. Still missed, always loved and never forgotten.
Huge fan!! She's better than most famous singers
molly another great song loved it, keep it up god bless you.

GREAT VIDEO AWESOME VOCALS LOVE GODBLESS MERRY CHRISTMAS...THANK YOU FOR SHARING...
Excellent. Just excellent "His daughter" Molly.
IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND THE HIGH NOTE GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS PERFECT
Molly you did a very great song. many thanks for it - it touches my heart and soul very deep because this happens to me
It was about three years ago and I was in the kitchen at the old family house clearing out cupboards with generations worth of collections in them. My father was in the next room, the breezeway, fooling around on internet land.

I like how you are becoming more famous and still keeping the true meaning of music with that. Thank you Molly you truly are an inspiration to me.
Marianne Jackson I felt the same way but my friends didn't believe me I think in the lyrics there is that hidden message that only a few people get
Marianne Jackson If you want music with true meaning.. search Melanie Martinez on YT
Marianne Jackson In one of her videos, she said that prince dying inspired her to write this song since she thought that he was a good person and he died at a young age. She also said that she noticed that a lot of other good people died young, that's why she wrote this song.

I've searched this song for months... Finally got you!!!!

Why isn't she more famous?shes beautiful and amazing and I just can't believe nobody else has noticed her yet
I think God's timing is perfect. But I don't do this for fame, I just wanna make music that matters & im thankful for people like you who listen 😘
