"Bleeding Heart" lyrics

If they tell me to quiet down
Another word won't leave my mouth
I don't want to fight
And maybe that's alright
If I'm at peace when I'm alone
Then I will make myself a home
They do things a different way
But maybe that's okay

I will keep being soft
I will let myself be kind
Even if they bleed me dry
Every single time
I will keep being soft
Let the tears fall from my eyes
Promise I won't hurt myself
For being sensitive this time

If they tell me to toughen up
It's just a joke just playing rough
But I take it to heart
And it rips me apart
So I will learn about myself
Though they want me to be someone else
I will dance my own way
And maybe that's okay

I will keep being soft
I will let myself be kind
Even if they bleed me dry
Every single time
I will keep being soft
Let the tears fall from my eyes
Promise I won't hurt myself
For being sensitive this time

I will keep being soft
I will let myself be kind
Even if they bleed me dry
Every single time
I will keep being soft
Let the tears fall from my eyes
Promise I won't hurt myself
For being sensitive this time
