The way you held my face
I swear I softened
for the very first time
in my life
Fist unclenched and
my guard started dropping
We kissed quick
before you pulled me inside
The next morning
I looked in the mirror
saw a woman
I had never met
She looked hopeful
even sort of pitiful
like she forgot
nothing is a given
nothing is a given
So hit me
I can't get soft
'cause I'm too hard
and my ribs are metal cages
to guard my heart
I'm too I'm too hard
I'm too I'm too hard
I'm too I'm too hard
I'm too I'm too hard
I'm too I'm too hard
I got married once
in combat boots and
only listened to
testosterone music
I had to kill my feminine
just to do it
To get to you
I had to go through it
So hit me
I can't get soft
'cause I'm too hard
and my ribs are metal cages
to guard my heart
I'm too I'm too hard
Always ready
for the piano to fall
Always ready to
be left out in the cold
Armor's heavy
never suited me at all
But it's the devil I know
So hit me
I can't get soft
'cause I'm too hard
and my ribs are metal cages
to guard my heart
I'm too I'm too hard
I'm too I'm too hard
I'm too I'm too hard
I'm too I'm too hard
I'm too I'm too hard
