"Softer" lyrics

Everybody's telling me
I gotta toughen up and be
Protective of my own heart
If I don't wanna fall apart
But honestly I'd rather be
Feeling hurt than empty
'Cause if I had thicker skin
How could I let the good love in

I want to stay soft around the edges
Don't wanna put up the walls, and get comfortable, and miss all the best bits
Coming in strong, and I'm gonna let it
I'll let it wash over me like water
'Cause feeling softer don't make me smaller

I'll be softer, I'll be warmer
I'll let it wash over me like water
'Cause feeling softer don't make me smaller
I'll be softer, I'll be warmer
I'll let it wash over me like water
'Cause feeling softer don't make me smaller

Now I like me better
Without all the pressure
'Cause I wanna feel something, real something
Deeper and deeper than ever
I'm ready to be open
I want to let it flow in (mmm)
Oh I've come so far
I don't wanna try so hard

I want to stay soft around the edges
Don't wanna put up the walls and get comfortable, and miss all the best bits
Coming in strong, and I'm gonna let it
I'll let it wash over me like water
'Cause feeling softer don't make me smaller
I'll be softer, I'll be warmer
I'll let it wash over me like water
'Cause feeling softer don't make me smaller
I'll be softer, I'll be warmer
I'll let it wash over me like water
'Cause feeling softer don't make me smaller
