Stay Soft by Emily Ritz Lyrics

How do I get it out
How do I know if I’ve healed
I can only hope the fruit is ripe
Before I cut before I peel

How do I take it slow
Too cold too sweet to savor
Will I ever even get to taste
The fruit of my labor

Will it be bitter or sour or sweet or rotten
Will i be loved or craved forsaken or forgotten

How will i know
How will i trust
Myself to grow
And to stay soft

How did you get in
How do I know if you’re real
I can only hope the ground is soft
Before I bend before I kneel
How do I keep it going
Too dark too tough to handle
Will there be enough light burning
From the one single candle

Will it be lit or dim, romantic or glowing
Will I be warm or cool or hidden or showing

How will i know
How will i trust
Myself to grow
And to stay soft
To grow and stay soft
To grow and to stay soft
To grow and stay soft
To grow and to stay soft

How do we get down
How do we know how to feel
I can only hope my eyes aren’t closed
For the big reveal

How do we just give up
Too weak too young to stay strong
Will everything end up alright
Even though something feels wrong
Will it be quick or slow or silent or spoken
Will I be cruel or kind or better or broken

How will I know
How will I trust
Myself to grow and to stay soft
To grow and stay soft
To grow and to stay soft
To grow and stay soft
To grow and to stay soft
