Soft to Be Strong

I know it's hard to be soft I know it hurts to be kind I know that when love is lost It's only fear in disguise And I guess I've known it all along The truth is you have to be soft to be strong Finally I feel the fear is gone I found out love has to be soft to be strong Soft to be strong Soft I believe the world is beautiful Only the weak ones are cruel I choose to love you without fear No shame in being sincere And I guess I've known it all along The truth is you have to be soft to be strong Finally I feel the fear is gone I found out love has to be soft to be strong Soft to be strong And I made myself believe Other people wanted to hurt me I took my bitterness and made it sweet I took a broken heart and made it beat Somebody hurt me long ago And though to heal a heart is slow It's just a consequence of pain There is no use in laying blame And I guess I've known it all along The truth is you have to be soft to be strong Finally I feel the fear is gone I found out love has to be soft to be strong Soft to be strong Soft to be strong Soft to be strong Soft
