Part Of Me

(album: A Raven Has My Heart - 2014)

I want you so badly my bones start to ache.
I'm in equal parts wonder and pain.
There's a part of me.
There's a part of me that just
Wants what it wants and that's all it can do.
Could I let go of having your love?
Could the longing itself be enough?
There's a part of me.
The very heart of me
That can barely remember my life without you.
And this fear this pain this love this weight
This joy your slave lays his head down.
I dream and it's all for you.
Bear the tension of tears held at bay.
It's the main thing I do with my days.
There's a part of me.
There's a part of me
Painting over the world with these pictures of you.
I can't even pretend to be strong.
I get up and I shake like a dog.
You're the part of me.
The very heart of me.
In the language of love there is no word for no.
So bring this fear this pain this love this weight
This fight your slave lays his head down.
I dream and it's all for you.
