"Did you get enough love, my little dove, why do you cry?"
I remember reading somewhere that this song was written about the singer's late mother. She passed on the fourth of July. These are some of the conversations he had with her. I feel half of this song is the son processing the death and the other is the mom trying to comfort him. I think this line in particular is not the singer, but the mother.
I find it truly beautiful that a mother can be on her death bed and ask her son if she gave him enough love.

What hurts more about this song. Is I wish I could sing this to my best friend Ruby. It’s funny because she looked VERY similar to the picture that’s why I clicked. Sitting here crying for her everyday I wish I was there enough for her. I wish it was me. She was my world, my stars, my very heart. She was my family and now I have to go on without her. I hope she knows someday I’ll meet her again and when I do I’ll be able to show her all the memories I had and how much I thought of her until I die.

To anyone who ever finds this, I was listening to this while my girlfriend was asleep next to me and It took me a second to realize just how lucky I am to be alive in such a stable circumstance. About 3-5 years ago I was on the verge of throwing my life away, my family didn't have money, I was bullied for 6 years straight, my parents argued often, and I had nobody's shoulder to cry on. The list goes on. Now I have a stable living situation, I'll be learning to drive this summer, my parents worked out their issues, and I have a wonderful girlfriend who loves me dearly. To anyone in a situational crisis right now. Please, if not for the people around you for a random person on the internet. Stay strong and keep pushing, I can't guarantee when but I promise you that with the right amount of effort and drive you can make it to that light. If everyone around you is saying they want you gone know that I believe in YOU and you alone. Stay strong for the people who do care about you.

lyrics:
The evil it spread like a fever ahead
It was night when you died, my firefly
What could I have said to raise you from the dead?
Oh could I be the sky on the Fourth of July?
Well you do enough talk
My little hawk, why do you cry?
Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
Or the Fourth of July?
We're all gonna die
Sitting at the bed with the halo at your head
Was it all a disguise, like Junior High
Where everything was fiction, future, and prediction
Now, where am I?
My fading supply
Did you get enough love, my little dove
Why do you cry?
And I'm sorry I left, but it was for the best
Though it never felt right
My little Versailles
The hospital asked should the body be cast
Before I say goodbye, my star in the sky
Such a funny thought to wrap you up in cloth
Do you find it all right, my dragonfly?
Shall we look at the moon, my little loon
Why do you cry?
Make the most of your life, while it is rife
While it is light
Well you do enough talk
My little hawk, why do you cry?
Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
Or the Fourth of July?
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die

“Did you get enough love? My little dove? Why do you cry?” Hits home so hard for me
It reminds me of when I was a child and I practically had no one, I was placed in therapy at a young age for reasons I still don’t know, and I’ve been at my lowest recently, and I feel so bad for my younger self because she really just wanted love and she never got it

I was originally listening to a slowed version of "Mary on a Cross" while crying outside while my dog comforted me. This was the next song on auto play, and I wasn't really paying attention to it until my dog licked my face and bumped her head against my chest and i heard the "did you get enough love, my little dove, why do you cry?" And I started bawling, hugging my dog as she just sat there and let me heal.
It got me so bad because my aunt was the only one to chase after me and hug me with my face on her chest to hear her heartbeat to calm me down to stop crying and she passed away last year on September 25th, so it hit hard with her anniversary coming up.
