Soft Where You Touch Me

Yeah...

mmh

I walk like nothing breaks me

but that don’t mean I’m whole

I laugh like I don’t need love

but I still feel it cold

I got used to empty rooms

and sleeping with my pride

then you came in quiet

and sat down on my mind

I don’t say too much

that’s how I stay safe

but when you look at me

I forget my place

you make the hard part

feel easy to lose

and I hate that I like

what I become with you

I’m soft where you touch me

hard where the world left scars

I don’t let nobody in

but you got past the guard

I’m calm when you watch me

lost when you walk away

I don’t know what you do

but don’t stop doing it, babe

Don’t stop doing it, babe

doing it, babe

Don’t stop doing it, babe

mmh, doing it, babe

I don’t write love letters

I keep things in my chest

I say “I’m good” too quickly

when I’m anything but blessed

You don’t ask for all my secrets

you just wait until I speak

and that kind of patience

does something bad to me

I don’t trust too fast

I learned that from pain

but your voice in the dark

don’t sound like a game

you make the silence

feel safe in the room

and I hate that I miss you

before I leave you

I’m soft where you touch me

hard where the world left scars

I don’t let nobody in

but you got past the guard

I’m calm when you watch me

lost when you walk away

I don’t know what you do

but don’t stop doing it, babe

Maybe I’m too guarded

maybe you’re too close

maybe I been running

from what I need the most

I don’t need saving

I just need something true

and the scariest part is

that it might be you

I’m soft where you touch me

hard where the world left scars

I don’t let nobody in

but you got past the guard

I’m calm when you watch me

lost when you walk away

I don’t know what you do

but don’t stop doing it, babe

Don’t stop doing it, babe

soft where you touch me

Don’t stop doing it, babe

hard where the world left scars

Don’t stop doing it, babe

you got past the guard

Don’t stop doing it, babe

mmh...
