We Grieved

Lyrics by Regina McIntosh, music by suno

We Grieved

He was a young believer
His heart, so light
Friendly and strong as they come
He was a friend to just everyone
But he wasn’t a friend to himself
He wasn’t a friend to himself

Chorus:

He drank, feeling like it couldn’t hurt
Beer and good times… 
And a heart who couldn’t forget
All that he felt, all the hurt and regret
A heart that couldn’t forget…

He was young, and He believed
But He didn’t follow the way
His heart was lost in self-destruction
He drank and he played
He was lost in the darkest place
He was lost in the dark
So lost in the dark

Chorus:

He drank, feeling like it couldn’t hurt
Beer and good times… 
And a heart who couldn’t forget
All that he felt, all the hurt and regret
A heart that couldn’t forget…

Time would reveal, oh yes it would say
Just how dangerous this alcohol was
Not just a drink for play
It would tell him, so very soon
How time was about to betray
Time would reveal to him the fate
Of a heart lost in the gray
So lost in the darkest gray
Lost and how could he pray?
Oh, just pray

Chorus:

He drank, feeling like it couldn’t hurt
Beer and good times… 
And a heart who couldn’t forget
All that he felt, all the hurt and regret
A heart that couldn’t forget…

We went to the gravesite that day
Long ago, but not so far in the past
It was his time, just 44
Oh but his life didn’t last
He was lost in the slur of a disease
A disease they say will surely grieve
Oh, how we grieved
We grieved

He drank away his pain
But, it was all so insane
No one was to blame
Just that alcohol who’d claim
Another life, another man
A soul who believed, yet we grieved 
Oh how we grieved…
