Hard Soft Man

To a Simple, Soulful Melody

Hard soft man, I do what I can

Hard soft man, I do what I can

But you don't make it easy,

No, you don't make it easy to love you

You're so easy to break, but you grit your teeth

You're you easy to break, but you keep it underneath

Hard soft man

You're so easy to read, but the book's behind glass

And you, you want to break it

Want to seek happiness

But you didn't count on happiness putting up walls

You'll climb them, you'll tear them down, you'll never fall

But does it ever occur to you

That maybe your princess is in another castle

Hard soft man

It all seems so futile

Until you play for me

And the world melts

And the glass melts
