lyrics

SOFT SPOT

It’s not as if I haven’t tried. I’ve been your bright idea, I’ve been your private joke.
And somehow, now I feel I’ve lied. Although to do so, I would sooner choke.

I’ve got one sad shanty with a broken verse. I say ‘that’s alright’ when I fear the worst.
It’s not your love that I want to feel. No, it’s not your kiss that I want to steal.
I want to hit your...

Soft spot. I want to make you feel like me.
Soft spot. It’s the last ace that’s up my sleeve.
Soft spot. These things happen to a desperate mind.
Soft spot.

Just keep laughing like you are. When everything goes black, you’ve gone too far.
It’s just the kiss before the bite. Another scream that echos in the night.

Oh, bones will mend and cuts will heal. But, words put on the final seal.
You’re the one that gives me purpose. Still, here I am underneath the surface.
Digging in your...

Soft spot. I want to make you feel like me.
Soft spot. It’s the last ace that’s up my sleeve.
Soft spot. These things happen to a desperate mind.
Soft spot.

Oh, the mirror and I have nothing to say.
I’m waving my fist ‘round. I want you to stay.
I’m pointing my finger and screaming till I’m blue.
I remember when these hands promised you they’d never touch your...

Soft spot. I want to make you feel like me.
Soft spot. It’s the last ace that’s up my sleeve.
Soft spot. These things happen to a desperate mind.
Soft spot. I want to make you feel like me.
Soft spot. It’s the last ace that’s up my sleeve.
Soft spot. These things happen to a desperate mind.
Soft spot.
