[Verse 1]

If they tell me to quiet down

Another word won’t leave my mouth

I don’t want to fight

And maybe that’s alright

If I’m at peace when I’m alone

Then I will make myself a home

They do things a different way

But maybe that’s okay

[Chorus]

I will keep being soft

I will let myself be kind

Even if they bleed me dry

Every single time

I will keep being soft

Let the tears fall from my eyes

Promise I won’t hurt myself

For being sensitive this time

[Verse 2]

If they tell me to toughen up

It’s just a joke, just playing rough

But I take it to heart

And it rips me apart

So I will learn about myself

Though they want me to be someone else

I will dance my own way

And maybe that’s okay

[Chorus]

I will keep being soft

I will let myself be kind

Even if they bleed me dry

Every single time

I will keep being soft

Let the tears fall from my eyes

Promise I won’t hurt myself

For being sensitive this time

[Chorus]

I will keep being soft

I will let myself be kind

Even if they bleed me dry

Every single time

I will keep being soft

Let the tears fall from my eyes

Promise I won’t hurt myself

For being sensitive this time
