Dave - The Bears

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
