The way you held my face, I swear I softened
For the very first time in my life
Fist unclenched and my guard started dropping
We kissed quick before you pulled me inside
The next morning, I looked in the mirror
Saw a woman I had never met
She looked hopeful, even sorta pitiful
Like she forgot nothing is a given
Nothing is a given
So hit me, I can’t get soft
‘Cause I’m too hard
And my ribs are metal cages
To guard my heart
I’m too, I’m too hard
I’m too, I’m too hard
I’m too, I’m too hard
I’m too, I’m too hard
I’m too, I’m too hard
I got married once in combat boots and
Only listened to testosterone music
I had to my kill my feminine just to do it
To get to you, I had to go through it
So hit me, I can’t get soft
‘Cause I’m too hard (Hard)
And my ribs are metal cages
To guard my heart (Heart)
I’m too, I’m too hard
I was ridin’ for a little bit too far
I was ready to be left out in the cold
Always hidin’, never seeked to be alone
Oh, it’s the devil I know
So hit me, I can’t get soft
‘Cause I’m too hard (Hard)
And my ribs are metal cages
To guard my heart (Heart)
I’m too, I’m too hard
I’m too, I’m too hard
I’m too, I’m too hard
I’m too, I’m too hard
I’m too, I’m too hard
