Title: Touch Me Softly (Confession Version) Verse 1 I donât say this out loud enough Sometimes love still feels too rough Even when youâre being good to me My body remembers everything And I hate that I go tense When all youâre giving makes sense You ainât done nothing, itâs just me Trying to unlearn survival things Pre-Chorus So when I tell you Slow down a little It ainât rejection Itâs something brittle Iâm trying to trust you Without breaking in it Trying to stay here Instead of quitting Chorus Touch me softly Iâm still learning how to stay When my mind says run But my heart wants to be brave Touch me softly Like Iâm not too much to hold Like healing can be warm And not always cold Touch me softly Bridge I want love I just fear the cost I want you I just get so lost So if youâre here Then be here gently Thatâs the only way Youâll really get me
