Hard

[Verse 1]
The way you held my face, I swear I softened
For the very first time in my life
Fist unclenched and my guard started dropping
We kissed quick before you pulled me inside
The next morning, I looked in the mirror
Saw a woman I had never met
She looked hopeful, even sort of pitiful
Like she forgot nothing is a given
Nothing is a given

[Chorus]
So hit me, I can't get soft
'Cause I'm too hard
And my ribs are metal cages
To guard my heart
I'm too, I'm too hard

[Post-Chorus]
I'm too, I'm too hard
I'm too, I'm too hard
I'm too, I'm too hard
I'm too, I'm too hard

[Verse 2]
I got married once in combat boots and
Only listened to testosterone music
I had to kill my feminine just to do it
To get to you, I had to go through it

[Chorus]
So hit me, I can't get soft
'Cause I'm too hard (Hard)
And my ribs are metal cages
To guard my heart (Heart)
I'm too, I'm too hard

[Bridge]
Always ready for the piano to fall
Always ready to be left out in the cold
Armor's heavy, never suited me at all
But it's the devil, I know

[Chorus]
So hit me, I can't get soft
'Cause I'm too hard (Hard)
And my ribs are metal cages
To guard my heart (Heart)
I'm too, I'm too hard

[Post-Chorus]
I'm too, I'm too hard
I'm too, I'm too hard
I'm too, I'm too hard
I'm too, I'm too hard
