"Cardinal" lyrics

I've been lying awake tryna fathom how to leave somebody, grieve somebody
Especially when you're who made me wanna be somebody, be somebody

Why did he take you? What did you do wrong?
If life is a game then boy it's a cruel one
When you'd say goodbye I never believed it
And then came the time you'd finally mean it

Ruthless
The weight of this is keeping me from moving
Begging for a why he had to do this
I lost all my hope, although I hope

Hope all the pain you've ever felt is finally healing
But I'd give anything to have you back with me here
God made it hard for me to wanna keep believing
I asked you for a sign and then you came while I was dreaming

Said all the pain you've ever felt is finally healing
Now every cardinal you see flying know it's me there
No matter how bad you get lost don't quit believing
I promise you he's here, I'll introduce you when you meet him

Ahouu
Ahouuuu
Ahouu
Ahouuuu

They tell you life goes on, but it doesn't at all
My regrets flashed by once I got the call
Did you feel loved enough? Could I have done something more?
It breaks my heart to know that you're gone, but I

Hope all the times we shared stay fresh in my heart
And memories don't fade or have to see them through scars
Did you feel loved enough? Could I have done something more?
It breaks my heart to know that you're gone, but I

Hope all the pain you've ever felt is finally healing
But I'd give anything to have you back with me here
God made it hard for me to wanna keep believing
I asked you for a sign and then you came while I was dreaming

Said all the pain you've ever felt is finally healing
Now every cardinal you see flying know it's me there
No matter how bad you get lost don't quit believing
I promise you he's here I'll introduce you when you meet him

Ahouu
Ahouuuu
Ahouu
Ahouuuu
