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
