"Soft" lyrics

Still wearing her bracelet
I know it's your job but I hate it
Imagine being in my place with
The tables turned

This 10 hour time difference
Coupled with your resistance
Is really making this distance
Between us worse

And I need you to be soft with me
Be careful with your honesty
'Cause honestly I'm a mess right now
On the edge, could you talk me down
How about a little empathy
Instead of acting like the enemy
Can you meet with a little more love
The situation's hard enough
I need you to be soft with me

I came with vulnerability, and no complaint
Asked you to listen, not to change
You keep yanking your love back like a chain

When I need you to be soft with me
Be careful with your honesty
'Cause honestly I'm a mess right now
On the edge, could you talk me down
How about a little empathy
Instead of acting like the enemy
Can you meet with a little more love
The situation's hard enough
Yeah

Am I such a drag to ya
My baby
From 6,000 miles away
Could you give my heart, give my heart a break

Am I such a drag to ya
My baby
From 6,000 miles away
Could you give my heart, give my heart a break

I need you to be soft with me
So, so, soft
Really
I need ya
Oh yeah
'Cause honestly I'm a mess right now
Could you talk, could you talk me down
You know I'm not the enemy

Yeah, I need you to be soft with me
Be careful with your honesty
'Cause honestly I'm a mess right now
On the edge, could you talk me down
How about a little empathy
Instead of acting like the enemy
Can you meet with a little more love
The situation's hard enough
I need you to be soft with me

I feel the need to tell everyone
That you're usually the jealous one
But to keep your hand off the knee of your lover on screen
I don't think is asking too much
Now I don't feel pretty without you here
Not fair to put that on you
I'm trying to visualize love over fear
But I need consistency to
