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
