[Verse 1]
Heart of gold but it lost its pride
Beautiful veins and bloodshot eyes
I've seen your face in another light
Why'd you have to go and let it die?

[Chorus]
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
In too deep and out of time
Why'd you have to go and let it die?

[Verse 2]
A simple man and his blushing bride
Intravenous, intertwined (Intravenous, intertwined)
Hearts gone cold your hands were tied
(Hearts gone cold your hands were tied)
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
(Why'd you have to go and let it die?)

[Chorus]
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
In too deep and out of time
Why'd you have to go and let it die?

[Bridge]
Do you ever think of me?
You're so considerate
Do you ever think of me?
Oh, so considerate

[Chorus 2]
In too deep and lost in time
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Beautiful veins and bloodshot eyes
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Hearts gone cold and hands are tied
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Why'd you have to go and let it die?

[Bridge]
Do you ever think of me
You're so considerate
Did you ever think of me
Oh, so considerate

[Chorus 2]
In too deep and lost in time
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Beautiful veins and bloodshot eyes
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Hearts gone cold and hands are tied
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Why'd you have to go and let this die?

[Outro]
Why'd you have to go and let this die?
Why'd you have to go and let this die?
Why'd you have to go and let this die?
Why'd you have to go and let it die?

Foo Fighters

Foo Fighters are an American rock band formed in 1995 by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. Originally a solo project by him to overcome the grief of Kurt Cobain’s death, Grohl attracted label interest with his inaugural demo tape.

According to Dave Grohl, the band is named after the UFOs that were reported by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II.

I was reading a lot of books on UFOs. Not only is it a fascinating subject, but there’s a treasure trove of band names in those UFO books! So, since I had recorded the first record by myself, playing all the instruments, but I wanted people to think that it was a group, I figured that FOO FIGHTERS might lead people to believe that it was more than just one guy. Silly, huh?
