Soft Heart, Cold World

I gave my love with no defense

Let you in without a fence

Thought your touch was heaven sent

Now I pay the consequence

I don’t hate you, I just learned

Every bridge I crossed got burned

I was gold you couldn’t earn

Now my silence is my turn

I stayed when it was hard

You left when it was real

Guess loving me was scary

Guess feelings made you feel

I got a soft heart in a cold world

Love ain’t free, it’s a toll, girl

I gave my best, you took it all

Now I’m stronger when I fall

I got a soft heart in a cold world

Trust don’t come with a return

I learned my lesson way too young

But I’m still here, I’m not numb

You said my scars were beautiful

Then used them like a weapon

You loved me when it was convenient

Left me when it got heavy

I don’t cry like I used to

Tears got tired of the truth

If loving hurts the way it do

Then I choose me, I choose me too

I got a soft heart in a cold world

Love ain’t free, it’s a toll, girl

I gave my best, you took it all

Now I’m stronger when I fall

I got a soft heart in a cold world

Trust don’t come with a return

I learned my lesson way too young

But I’m still here, I’m not numb

Yeah

I was kind in a ruthless place

Smiled through pain you never faced

They say love is a gamble

Guess I lost but kept my faith

Heart too pure for these streets

Gave my soul, they wanted peace

Now I move slow, guard my keys

Soft heart, but my mind’s on freeze

I got a soft heart in a cold world

But I won’t bleed for what won’t grow

I still love, just differently

I protect what’s left of me

I got a soft heart in a cold world

But I finally learned my worth

I won’t let the cold decide

How I love or who I trust

Soft heart…

Cold world…

Still breathing.
