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
