Soft Until Im Not

("I told you... don’t push too far.") ("You mistook silence for softness.") [VERSE 1] Talk slow, I can hear the shake You said “forever” with your voice on break One foot in, one on my chest You looked peaceful while I felt less I made tea while you made storms I held warmth, you held your form Thought patience was my power move 'Til I learned what silence proves [PRE-CHORUS] Soft hands can still let go Smiles fade when truth shows You wanted calm, not soul Now feel what you don’t know [CHORUS] Soft Until I’m not Pulled me back, now watch me stop Cold But you forgot I hold fire under what you dropped Whispered? Sure. But now it’s shot— I was soft Until I’m not [VERSE 2] I dimmed to keep your peace You danced while I held grief I wore light while you played dark But even stars can leave a mark Now I'm not explaining slow Not giving warnings while you go You wanted easy, not awake Now take the echo that you make [PRE-CHORUS 2] There’s grace in walking out There’s rage in quiet mouths You thought soft was something small But softness taught me how to fall [CHORUS] Soft Until I’m not I gave peace, and you gave plot Wounds But you let rot Quiet girls don't stay forgot Once I held the shot— I was soft Until I’m not [BRIDGE] I don’t raise my voice I erase the noise You’ll hear my silence Like a weapon, not a choice I’ll be the space you notice When everything gets loud You wanted someone gentle But I’m not quiet now [FINAL CHORUS] Soft Until I’m not Held it in, now it’s forgot Kind But you forgot Fire still burns under frost You lost the plot— I was soft Until I’m not [OUTRO] ("Now you know.")
