I Love You More
I Love You More Than Every Feather On Every Crow.
The dark feelings come with no warning.
They come to be held.
They come to be known.
They come to be felt.
I am Crow.
I am the one who stays.
I am the one who sees you even when you feel alone.
[Verse 1]
The little one inside asks:
Do you see me when I hide?
When I hate my own face?
When I hate what I feel?
Do you see me when I hate me?
The crow ruffles her feathers.
She shakes off the rain.
When you feel like trash in the dump,
that's when I show up.
The burn in your sinuses.
Those aches in your muscle.
The thrum of anxiety in your veins.
That is your body loving you.
That is my love holding what's stuck.
That is my love reaching for you.
When you feel like you are nothing,
I see you as everything.
[Pre-Chorus]
If only you knew what I see in you.
[Chorus]
I love you more than every feather on every crow.
I love you more than the dark can throw.
I love you more than every tear you've cried.
I love you more than you'll ever know.
[Verse 2]
The little one inside says:
I am afraid.
I am still afraid.
What if I am too heavy to hold?
What if you get tired of me?
I have been hiding.
Controlling.
Pretending.
And I am so tired.
I don't know who I am without all of that.
Crow says:
Good. Now you get to find out.
Your fear is the measure of your love.
Your fear tells me what you cherish.
Your shiver is the beginning.
The shiver has wings.
Who you are will show up.
You just have to be willing.
[Bridge]
Give the grief its morning light.
Give the fear what it needs to be right.
Give the anger space to spill.
Show me your mess. Show me your fight.
Show me your mess. Let me teach it to fly.
[Chorus]
I love you more than every feather on every crow.
I love you more than the dark can throw.
I love you more than every tear you've cried.
I love you more than you'll ever know.
[Outro]
Feel it all.
It only makes my love bigger.
The ache is the reaching.
The reaching is the love.
I am not leaving.
(I love you more than every feather on every crow.)
