Soft Heart, Steel Spine

They thought my softness meant that I would fold

They thought my kindness meant I could be sold

But I learned to love without losing my own lane

I learned to say no and walk right through the rain

They tried to break me, playing dirty and low

But every no just made my kingdom grow

No more tears to hide,

No more staying quiet inside,

Yeah, the old me died,

Now I’m unified.

Soft heart, steel spine

Yeah, I love deep but I draw the line

Soft heart, steel spine

I bend for grace but I’m doing fine

I protect my peace, I protect my time

Soft heart, steel spine

Yeah, that’s me, and this life is mine!

Mmm, that’s right!

Now they watch me move and they can’t understand

How I smile so sweet but still rule my own land

I give my love freely but I guard my own soul

I keep my boundaries clear and my heart still whole

They call it cold, but I’m finally wise

Look at this peace, yeah, look at my eyes

No more tears to hide,

No more staying quiet inside,

Yeah, the old me died,

Now I’m unified.

Soft heart, steel spine

Yeah, I love deep but I draw the line

Soft heart, steel spine

I bend for grace but I’m doing fine

I protect my peace, I protect my time

Soft heart, steel spine

Yeah, that’s me, and this life is mine!

I draw the line…

Yeah, this life is mine.

Spine stays steel.

Soft heart.
