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
