You say you’ve grown numb to love, wear that distance like it fits. But late at night, when it’s quiet, you still drift to what once held you. Some gentle marks remain, truths once held close. They changed the shape of belief, softened how trust would hold. Who could blame you for lifting the guard? You’ve been hurt before, so the door rests almost closed. Protecting what remains, what never fully broke— the things nearly lost when pain asked too much. Softly now, softly now— the heart still knows how to move. Stories don’t always align, yet the weight is familiar. A heart once wide and open, now pausing at the edge. Deceit was met. The sound of thorns was learned. If that was the cost of seeing more clearly, it was paid honestly. No need to hide the past, no need for shame. It sharpened the sight, settled something restless, gave tenderness more depth. What wears the spirit down isn’t what broke, but forgetting that kindness still arrives. So let that not be the final knowing. Softly now, softly now— the heart still knows how to move. You have been hurt, that much is true; But pain is not the sum of you. Standing came with learning, guarding came with time. And still, beneath the scars, the heart remembers how motion feels. Softly now, softly now— there remains room for light to grow. Softly now, softly now— there remains room for light to grow— ————————————————— These lyrics are written and owned by Rachel’s Original (Rachel Liu).
