Foo Fighters - Let It Die Lyrics

A 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?

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?

A simple man and his blushin' bride
(Why'd you have to go and let it die?)
Interveinious, intertwined
(Why'd you have to go and let it die?)

Heart's 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?
(Why'd you have to go and let it die?)

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?

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

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?

Heart's 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?

Do you ever think of me?
You're so considerate
Did you ever think of me?
Oh, so considerate

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?

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?

  Well, let's see.. I'm not your average Foo fan, grew up in the 70's/80's, and I associate them with Nirvana age fans, which would be 30's mid to late, I am 51, grew up in San Francisco, had young hippie parents that allowed me to go to Winterland throughout the 60's, it being a top musical venue of it's time- Led Zep at Kesar Stadium at 15, all that, BUT! Never ever got chills fron a song on the radio until I heard LET IT DIE. My immediate reaction was to come home check out the lyrics and meditate on them, now I'm here and this is what I think, I may be wrong, but I felt it's reference to itraveinus, simple man, blushing bride, did you ever consider me? And why'd you have to go and let it die? Could he be writting of Kurt/Courtney? Just a though.
