The Price of Softness

Verse 1

Call it kindness

Call it a curse

Give 'em an inch

They'll snatch the whole earth

Hard to keep a steady spine

When everybody wants to borrow mine

Picking at the pieces like a pack of wolves

Pre-Chorus

Broken glass inside my chest

Failing every single test

Giving until nothing's left

Watching while they commit the theft

Chorus

Damned if I do

Damned if I don't

Maybe I'll break

Maybe I won't

They see a soft heart

I see a red target

Tearing me down just to fill up their pocket

Damned if I do

Damned if I don't

Verse 2

Stitched-up wounds and ragged scars

Sleepin' under iron bars

Watching all the users climb

Trading my life for their time

Willing to catch a bullet

Before they even pull it

Pre-Chorus

Broken glass inside my chest

Failing every single test

Giving until nothing's left

Watching while they commit the theft

Chorus

Damned if I do

Damned if I don't

Maybe I'll break

Maybe I won't

They see a soft heart

I see a red target

Tearing me down just to fill up their pocket

Damned if I do

Damned if I don't

Bridge

Why should I harden?

Why should I change?

Who is this ghost?

Who is this man?

Who am I now?

Lost in the wreckage they made with their hands

Chorus

Damned if I do

Damned if I don't

Maybe I'll break

Maybe I won't

They see a soft heart

I see a red target

Tearing me down just to fill up their pocket

Damned if I do

Damned if I don't
