Dear Marie Lyrics

And I'll never forget

The day god took her and he layyed her to rest

Crying with my mother and my sister in the bed thinking why Lord

He always takes the best man

I felt an emptiness inside, I felt more than a cry

This was a scream for help, good God why'd my grandma go and die

Man you promised when I prayed last week

Tears shedding down from both my cheeks

You told me that she'd be alright, God you lied, man she ain't have enough fight

Man you promised when my dad flew out

I trusted you god, I ain't have no doubt

Little did I know my dad would say goodbye to the only parent left in his short lived life

I didn't know if he could handle it

Dressed in black, the sky, it was candle lit

I saw my grandma for the last time but she ain't look real

Only hurt me more, crushed the way I feel

Grabbing on my sister for protection

From what? Man I didn't know

I just needed a deflection

My mom broke down, she was lookin in a different direction

And I was a reflection, breaking down at every sign of connection, and tensions rising

Not the angry kind, more like the lost an angel kind

Still doesn't feel real that I can't get her back

Now she's laying with my dad's dad who had a heart attack

Reunited at last, sounded great but I came down fast

For days I was worried sick, building a life again brick by brick

I didn't know if my grandpa could take it

He was so lost without her, but he'd fake it

These are the days that I'd curse my Lord

Lost trust in him, when he pulled her cord

Man I was conflicted

I felt like his powers, they must be restricted

If you can't save Marie are you really God?

What are you then, because lord is really broad

Lord of all creation, except Marie?

Lord of the people, but not my family tree?

I was mad at Jesus, like he made it worse

Truth was that he had her first

He knew Marie and he knew who she would be

A caring wife and mother and a grandma to me

What a blessing it was to have her in my life

Reminiscing about the drives and the late nights

Arriving at their house with bags in my hand

And yet sloppy cheek kisses were very on brand

When you lose someone, you remember things

Memories that only god could bring

And when she left us I swear I heard the angels sing

All of heaven rejoiced and the bells would ring
