[Intro Hook] you told me i should toughen up like feeling was a flaw [Verse 1] so i learned to bite my tongue even when my chest still burned became an expert at pretending that nothing ever really hurt but silence turns to poison when it lives inside too long and i carried every careless word like proof that i was wrong [Pre-Chorus] they say i overreact maybe they just underfeel maybe tenderness looks dramatic to a heart that's learned to seal [Chorus] you told me not to be so sensitive like it's something i could trade but i was born with open hands and a heart that never learned a blade and every word lands deep in me i won't pretend it doesn't sting but feeling everything this much is not a small or broken thing [Verse 2] i replay every argument til the morning bleeds to gray i feel it all in color when the world wants it in gray so i laughed before i cracked learned to shrink and hold it back but the weight i kept on burying just kept on growing back [Pre-Chorus] they say i overreact maybe they just underfeel maybe empathy looks like weakness to a world that's gone unreal [Chorus] you told me not to be so sensitive like it's something i could trade but i was born with open hands and a heart that never learned a blade and every word lands deep in me i won't pretend it doesn't sting but feeling everything this much is not a small or broken thing [Bridge] maybe sensitivity was never the wound maybe it's the softness i survived in a world that calls it weakness just to feel a thing alive so i'm done apologizing for a heart that stayed awake i'd rather feel it all and break than feel nothing and be safe [Final Chorus] so call me sensitive i'll wear it like my name the thing you tried to shame in me is the thing that kept me sane yeah every word still lands in me and i'll let it, let it sting because feeling everything this much turned out to be the whole thing [Outro] you told me i should toughen up but i'm still soft, and i'm still here i feel it all, i always did and i'm not hiding it this year
