The Bears - Dave

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
