Lyrics
Intro
Yeah...
mmh
Verse 1
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
Pre-Chorus
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
Chorus
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
Post-Chorus
Don’t stop doing it, babe
doing it, babe
Don’t stop doing it, babe
mmh, doing it, babe
Verse 2
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
Pre-Chorus
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
Chorus
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
Bridge
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
Final Chorus
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
Outro
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...
