[Verse 1] I don’t want to be my own end But I keep my hands on the knife I’ve been listening for sage advice Like one clean line could save my life [Pre-Chorus] Say it plain say it loud Pull me up from under now I hear truth then I run I wreck the thing that would let me come undone [Chorus] Soft hands, soft hands I push them away Soft hands, soft hands I don’t know how to stay I don’t want the loss I want the cure Soft hands, soft hands make me sure [Verse 2] I build the wall then call it home I dress the hurt like it’s my own I keep the door locked from inside Then blame the dark for where I hide I got a heart that flinches first I drink that ache till it tastes like dirt [Pre-Chorus] Say it plain say it loud Pull me up from under now I hear your name at the edge of sleep Then I choose the cold like it’s safer to keep [Chorus] Soft hands, soft hands I push them away Soft hands, soft hands I don’t know how to stay I don’t want the loss I want the cure Soft hands, soft hands make me sure [Bridge] I am not broken I am afraid I hold the match then flinch from the flame If you stay close I might finally breathe If you stay close I might believe [Final Chorus] Soft hands, soft hands I push them away Soft hands, soft hands I don’t know how to stay I don’t want the loss I want the cure Soft hands, soft hands make me sure Soft hands, soft hands don’t let me drift Soft hands, soft hands I want to live
