[Verse 1] You are a soft warning you are a soft warning that not everything beautiful is meant to be trusted Some connections feel special because they are incomplete because longing makes them shimmer but incomplete still hurts Still takes up real space still leaves real bruises Now I honor the lesson without reopening the wound And that feels like growth [Pre-Chorus] I don’t know who you are and I don’t know anybody by the name of Edward So you must’ve lived in a fantasy world and only wrote letters online [Chorus] You are a soft warning a soft warning I won’t chase the shimmer I won’t reopen the wound You are a soft warning a soft warning If it’s built on longing it can still leave bruises too [Verse 2] I assumed you were just a poet putting out your poetry for the world to read I don’t know when people are gonna learn that not everybody believes that what’s put on the Internet is meant for them Or if it’s even true [Pre-Chorus] So if I broke your heart I’m sorry but I’m still amending my heart from the last break that I had And when I’m done healing [Chorus] You are a soft warning a soft warning I won’t chase the shimmer I won’t reopen the wound You are a soft warning a soft warning If it’s built on longing it can still leave bruises too [Bridge] If a man walks up to me and ask me out on a date I will say yes If you ask me on social media I will say no I’m not cold I’m careful now I’m keeping what’s left of me out of the fire [Final Chorus] You are a soft warning a soft warning I won’t chase the shimmer I won’t reopen the wound You are a soft warning a soft warning Now I honor the lesson and that feels like growth
