"I am too young to die."

"I am too young to die."

1) I do not want to die because I am young.

2) Although I want to die, I can't because I am young.

Which one is a right implied meaning?

I think that the sentence I am too young to get a driver's license implies "Although I want to get a driver's license, I can't becasue I am young." ,so the #2 is a correct way of understanding the example. What do you native English speakers? Or is there any good meaning?

Thank you so much as always and have a good day.
