Why does Flynn Rider say that Rapunzel will die?
In Tangled, after Mother Gothel stabs Eugene, Rapunzel wants to save him by healing his wound with her magic hair. However, before she tries to heal him, Eugene says:
Why does he say this? Why would she die?
Best Answer
Because she has made the bargain with Mother Gothel to never leave.
The film starts with the song When will my life begin hinting that up until the moment she escapes she hasn't lived, merely existed.
To abandon her freedom and remain with Mother Gothel implies she will no longer truly live, she will merely exist and die. Eugene knows that Mother Gothel will simply use Rapunzel until there is nothing of her left.
Of course, this is a bit of a complex reason, saying she will die is also an easier way of enforcing the weight of the decision she is about to make to the younger audience.

Why didnt Eugene let Rapunzel heal him?
This was noble and all, but why didn't Eugene do that after Rapunzel had healed him? It would have accomplished the same thing, except his life would not have been in peril. Rapunzel could have gone to him, sung her song of healing, and then he could have sliced her hair off with a shard of glass.Does Flynn die in Rapunzel?
A dying Flynn protests the deal, and cuts off Rapunzel's hair with a shard of glass when she tries to heal him. Gothel withers and disappears when the hair is cut, and Flynn dies, but Rapunzel's tears contain enough magic to revive him.Will Rapunzel live forever?
So not only is Rapunzel essentially immortal but all of her children will be as well. So if Rapunzel really is immortal \u2014 if she ever had children with Flynn Rider, they too would become immortal since the magical powers are in her blood.How did Rapunzel heal Flynn without her hair?
Her tears heal him. They contain the magical healing powers, not just her hair. Now the implications of this are pretty vast. Basically what it means is that the healing powers of the flower were contained not just in Rapunzel's hair but also in her... "fluids".Tangled - Death and Healing

Answer 2
She won't die immediately. But the movie up to this point established that the hair could stop people (i.e. the witch) from aging and basically grant immortality and eternal youth.
So he means that she now has to die like every other human, since the hair seems to be the source of that magic and cutting it/using it up will presumably destroy said source.
