I Stayed Open Soft - Aliza
I stayed open, soft
You said love was harsh for you
Like something you never knew
I didn't ask for perfect plans
Just your heart inside my hands
Every time you pulled away
I found another reason to stay
I've been my light through the dark
Just to reach your heart
I never closed the door, never raised my guard
Even when loving you
Got hard
I stayed open, soft
Even when it hurt
Give you all my heart
Every fragile part
You held it long
Like it meant nothing at all
But I stayed open, soft
Through it all
You were quite hard to read
Like a book with missing sheets
I kept searching every line
For a sign you could be mine
Every silence, every space
I filled it with my faith
But love can't grow alone
In a heart of stone
I never played it cold, I never walked away
Even when your love fell halfway
I stayed open, soft
Even when it hurt
Give you all my heart
Every fragile part
You held it long
Like it meant nothing at all
But I stayed open, soft
Through it all
Maybe someday you'll see
What you meant to me
And how rare it was
To be loved like this
But I won't close my heart
Just because it broke
I'd rather feel it all
Than never love at all
I stayed open, soft
Even when it hurt
Give you all my heart
Every fragile part
You held it long
Like it meant nothing at all
But I stayed open, soft
Through it all
I stayed open, soft
Even when it hurt
I stayed open, soft
