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 sort of 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

Always ready for the piano to fall
Always ready to be left out in the cold
Armor's heavy, never suited me at all
But 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
