[Verse 1]

Still wearing her bracelet

I know it's your job but I hate it

Imagine being in my place with

The tables turned

This 10 hour time difference

Coupled with your resistance

Is really making this distance between us worse

[Chorus]

And I need you to be soft with me

Be careful with your honesty

'Cause honestly I'm a mess right now

On the edge, could you talk me down?

How about a little empathy

Instead of acting like the enemy

Can you meet with a little morе love?

The situation's hard enough

I need you to bе soft with me

[Post-Chorus]

I came with vulnerability, and no complaint

(Asked you to listen, not to change)

You keep yanking your love back like a chain

[Chorus]

When I need you to be soft with me

Be careful with your honesty

'Cause honestly I'm a mess right now

On the edge, could you talk me down?

How about a little empathy

Instead of acting like the enemy

Can you meet with a little more love?

The situation's hard enough, yeah

[Bridge]

Am I such a drag to ya, my baby

From 6,000 miles away?

Could you give my heart, oh, give my heart a break?

Am I such a drag to ya, my baby

From 6,000 miles away?

Could you give my heart, oh, give my heart a break?

I need you to be soft with me

So, so, soft

Really, I

I need ya

Oh, yeah

'Cause honestly I'm a mess right now

Could you talk, could you talk me down

You know I'm not the enemy

[Chorus]

Yeah, I need you to be soft with me

Be careful with your honesty

'Cause honestly I'm a mess right now

On the edge, could you talk me down?

How about a little empathy

Instead of acting like the enemy

Can you meet with a little more love?

The situation's hard enough

I need you to be soft with me

[Verse 2]

I feel the need to tell everyone

That you're usually the jealous one

But to keep your hand off the knee of your lover on screen

I don't think is asking too much

Now I don't feel pretty without you here

Not fair to put that on you

I'm trying to visualize love over fear

But I need consistency too
