DEAR DEPARTED by The Band Perry Lyrics
[Intro]
Falling is a feeling that I never wanna feel again, feel again
Haunted in a feeling that I never wanna feel again, feel again
Dear departed, d-dear departed
[Verse 1]
My friends, we've come to bury the dear departed me
With a 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 rubber band 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 séance
For all our innocence lost
[Chorus 1]
Nothing lasts forever, no, you can't hold on, ayy
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, d-dear departed
[Verse 2]
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
And some things you never find
Still, you've got to dance with the things you lost
And I've got to dance with mine
[Chorus 2]
Nothing lasts forever, no, you can't hold on, ayy
Nothing lasts forever, so we 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, d-dear departed
[Bridge]
Wear your dark shades, we're in mourning
But we're gon' party until the morning comes
A celebration, or standing ovation
For all our innocence lost
[Chorus 3]
Nothing lasts forever, no, you can't hold on, ayy
Nothing lasts forever, so what's done is done
First you ie, feel, then you cry, then you heal, ooh
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, d-dear departed
Falling is a feeling that I never wanna feel again, feel again
Haunted in a feeling that I never wanna feel again, feel again
Dear departed, d-dear departed
[Verse 1]
My friends, we've come to bury the dear departed me
With a 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 rubber band 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 séance
For all our innocence lost
[Chorus 1]
Nothing lasts forever, no, you can't hold on, ayy
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, d-dear departed
[Verse 2]
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 I've got to dance with mine
[Chorus 2]
Nothing lasts forever, no, you can't hold on, ayy
Nothing lasts forever, so we just move on
Die, feel, then you cry, heal, oh
Nothing lasts forever, so just have fun (Just have fun, just have fun)

Dear departed, d-dear departed

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