The Band Perry - DEAR DEPARTED Lyrics

Falling is a feeling that I never wanna feel again, feel again
Haunted is a feeling that I never wanna feel again, feel again
Dear departed, de-dear departed

My friends, we've come to bury
The dear departed me
With the death of youth comes a cold, hard truth
Can someone comfort me?

We've gathered here to remember
The kid that I used to be
We've got colorful hats with those Rubberband straps
And alcoholic drinks

Wear some dark clothes
We're in mourning
But we're gon' party until the morning comes
A celebration
Maybe a seance
For all our innocence lost

Nothing lasts forever, oh
You can't hold on
Nothing lasts forever
So just have fun (just have fun, just have fun)

Falling is a feeling that I never wanna feel again, feel again
Dear departed, de-dear departed

One time I said goodbye to somebody
Who taught me how to tie my shoes
If it was not for him I would not have been
And my laces would still be loose

Some precious things just slip away
Some things you never find
Still you've got to dance with the things you've lost
And I've got to dance with mine

Nothing lasts forever, oh
You can't hold on, eh
Nothing lasts forever
So just move on
Die, feel, then you cry, heal
Oh, nothing lasts forever
So just have fun (just have fun, just have fun)

Falling is a feeling that I never wanna feel again, feel again
Dear departed, de-dear departed

Wear your dark shades
We're in mourning
But we're gonna party
Till the morning comes

A celebration
Or standing ovation
For all of our innocence lost

Nothing lasts forever
You can't hold on, no
Nothing lasts forever
So, what's done is done
First you die (die, feel), then you feel
Then you cry (cry, heal), then you heal
Nothing lasts forever
So just have fun (just have fun, just have fun)

Falling is a feeling that I never wanna feel again, feel again
Dear departed, de-dear departed

Haunted is a feeling that I never wanna feel again, feel again
Dear departed, de-dear departed
