lyrics

I'm a turtle without a shell
Everything pierces, everything hurts like hell
I go slowly about my days
But my eyes are quick to well up and give me away

Oh, am I broken
A faucet that won't turn off
Cut me wide open
God made me too damn soft
God made me too damn soft

I'm a giraffe without a spine
Walking around pretending like everything's fine
And I can't help but watch my friends
Wondering what is their secret, how do they get out of bed

Oh, am I broken
A faucet that won't turn off
Cut me wide open
God made me too damn soft
God made me too damn soft

The funny thing is, I love softness
When it's a song, a fuzzy blanket, or a baby's cheek
When it's a satin pillowcase
When it doesn't mean I'm weak
What if the fact that everything's so hard
Doesn't mean I'm missing any parts

What if I'm not broken
Oh I'm just feeling it all
Go ahead, cut me open
God made me so damn strong
God made me so damn soft
