Love Like This (For Me)

[Verse 1]
I walked the long wet roads
Mud on my skirt and knees
Carried their heavy words
Like stones in a shallow stream
They said I’d never last
“Too soft
You’ll fade
You’ll break”
But I am moss on rock
I cling
I bloom
I stay
[Chorus]
So I’ll sing a love like this for me
In the quiet where only I can hear
I will hold my own hand carefully
Like a vow I whisper in my ear
Through every doubt
Through every storm I see
I will keep this love
This love like this for me
[Verse 2]
Nights when the room felt small
Shadows against my skin
I was my fiercest judge
And still my fiercest kin
Bruised from the battles lost
Still I would rise at dawn
Make tea for my trembling heart
And tell it to carry on
[Chorus]
So I’ll sing a love like this for me
In the quiet where only I can hear
I will hold my own hand carefully
Like a vow I whisper in my ear
Through every doubt
Through every storm I see
I will keep this love
This love like this for me
[Bridge]
Let them talk
Let seasons turn
Let the cold wind call my name (oh)
I have learned
I have unlearned
I am tired of carrying shame
I am field and I am seed
I am root and I am tree
If they never understand
I’ll be enough for me
[Chorus]
So I’ll sing a love like this for me
In the quiet where only I can hear
I will hold my own hand carefully
Like a vow I whisper in my ear
Through every doubt
Through every storm I see
I will keep this love
This love like this for me
(I will keep this love)
This love like this for me
