Lyrics

They look at me like I did the right thing
Letting you go with all the flapping wings
Your soul was so pure but your body decayed
And saying goodbye couldn’t be delayed

They say I made the right choice
The voice of your squeaks drowned by the noise

You’re too heavy to lift from my arms tonight
As I sing to you in your final light the sting won’t bite
I know you did your best
But I still feel you on my chest

You looked up at me with love
Now you’re a soul and all this pain feels too tough
If love wasn't meant to hurt like this
Then why does the pain exist

I don’t know what I’m supposed to do
With all this love that still wants you

You’re too heavy to lose but your love is still here
I want to wake from this nightmare that feeds my fear
Did I do the best thing I could for you
I hope you can see me from your view

Did you know I was right here
Did you know I held you near
All your love was too heavy for your small body to hold
And the weight of the world left your heart cold

You’re too heavy to stay too loved to leave
My hands are shaking from all this grief
Cookie I hope you know you made my world bright
So don’t be scared as you find the light

I know you’re not here anymore
And I know you’re not in pain like before
But I can’t stop the tears as they fall
And all the memories echo haunting through it all
