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

The pain got boring

His soul went soaring

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
