The Bears - Dave lyrics

he counted up his fears one day and they weren't worth a dime

he cried a lot of tears for her ‘cause he wasn't worth her time

and his life felt like a marathon - man, how long can this last?

he slowed down for a little drink and didn't see the winner pass

last Saturday morning we missed the warning

the pain got boring - his soul went soaring

she used to be too young to understand and now she's just too old

can't shut the door on her regrets - she'll never be that cold

and i could have been a better friend - i can see where i went wrong

i hid beneath my selfishness like i hide behind this song

last Saturday morning we missed the warning

nothing lasts forever ‘cept maybe jesus christ

and nothing could be sadder than a child taking his own life

i heard the minister mumble, i heard the falling rain

and i felt my mother's hand slip into mine

and none of us have ever been the same
