歌詞

Stay soft, don’t harden up

Even when it gets rough

I don’t close, I don’t shut down

I let it touch me enough

Stay soft, in a cold world

I don’t lose, I just learn

If it hurts, I don’t run

I stay open, I stay warm

I been told to toughen up

Like feeling less is growing up

Like the only way to last

Is to never feel too much

But I felt more when I broke

Than I ever did pretending

All that armor made me numb

I forgot what I was sensing

I don’t want a sharper edge

I don’t want a thicker skin

I want to feel what’s real

When it comes from deep within

Every scar tried to teach me

Not to trust what I feel

But I’m done shrinking my heart

Just to keep it sealed

Stay soft, don’t harden up

Even when it gets rough

I don’t close, I don’t shut down

I let it touch me enough

Stay soft, in a cold world

I don’t lose, I just learn

If it hurts, I don’t run

I stay open, I stay warm

I been praised for being distant

For not needing anyone

But distance ain’t the same

As being free or being done

I don’t flinch at emotion

I don’t mock what I feel

If I tear up in the quiet

That’s the most honest thing

They say softness won’t survive

In a place like this

But I seen the hardest hearts

Break faster than this

I don’t fold into myself

When the room gets tense

I breathe through the moment

Let it make its sense

If I love, I love present

If I care, I care whole

I don’t ration my feeling

I don’t play it controlled

Maybe soft is how I heal

Maybe warm is how I stay

Maybe staying open

Is what keeps me safe

I don’t need to go numb

I don’t need to be stone

I can feel everything

And still walk home

Stay soft, don’t harden up

Even when it gets rough

I don’t close, I don’t shut down

I let it touch me enough

Stay soft, in a cold world

I don’t lose, I just learn

If it hurts, I don’t run

I stay open, I stay warm

Stay soft

Stay soft
