Tap, tap on the cage
Hear that heart still bang
Sweet face, sharp guard
Soft heart, steel bars
Tap, tap on the cage Hear that heart still bang
Come close, move smart
Soft heart, steel bars I keep velvet under iron Pretty smile,
private siren You see calm,
I see alarms I learned peace with folded arms I don’t fold
for every feeling I don’t bleed for every reason I got warmth,
I got teeth Both of them belong to me
You want in, better knock right
No fast hands, no false light I can love with all I
carry But I won’t be temporary I’m tender,
not open
I’m bruised, not broken
I’m warm, but I’m guarded
Don’t rush what I started
Soft heart, steel bars
I love deep, but I lock sharp
Knock twice, move smart
Soft heart, steel bars
Soft heart, steel bars
Sweet soul with a war-scarred guard
Too close, too far
Soft heart, steel bars
Tap, tap
Can you hear it?
Tap, tap
Still beating Tap, tap
Behind the guard Soft
heart
Steel bars I got roses in a wire
Kind eyes, low fire
I don’t swing just to prove
I got edges I can use
I been soft in wrong rooms Bloomed once,
got consumed Now I grow where I choose No more handing out
the fuse I can dance with the damage I can
smile through the static But my door don’t open wide For a
maybe in disguise I’m tender,
not open
I’m bruised, not broken
I’m warm, but I’m guarded
Don’t rush what I started
Soft heart, steel bars
I love deep, but I lock sharp
Knock twice, move smart
Soft heart, steel bars
Soft heart, steel bars
Sweet soul with a war-scarred guard Too close,
too far
Soft heart, steel bars
I’m not made of stone I’m made of lessons
I still feel the pull I still crave connection
But I won’t crack the lock For a voice that sounds pretty
I won’t bare my chest For a hand that moves quickly I’m
still gold underneath I’m still warm where it counts But I built
this gate To keep me from burning out Soft heart,
steel bars
I love deep, but I lock sharp
Knock twice, move smart
Soft heart, steel bars
Soft heart, steel bars
Sweet soul with a war-scarred guard
Too close, too far
Soft heart, steel bars
Tap, tap
on the cage Hear that
heart
still bang Sweet
face, sharp guard Soft heart,
steel bars
