Soft

Some things are hard
Diamonds or stone
Their toughness, robustness
Is very well known
It takes something special
To break them in two
And render them useless
They're not easy to get through
But still it can happen
You can burst through their wall
Then even the hardest
Will eventually fall

Some things are soft
And pliable too
Warm smiles or fair skin
Or a friendship that's new
It's ever so easy
To just tear them to shreds
With a harsh word or bad look
Ending with tears in their beds
But still it can happen
And with little remorse
And sometimes the softest will
Then turn somewhat coarse

Some things are neither
Or both soft and hard
A heart that beats for new love
Or one that's lonely or scarred
It's ever so difficult
To get some to open up
Or heal ones that are hurt
Even when you're close-up
But still it can happen
Just needs someone to care
Keep on trying, it'll happen
I promise, I swear
