I'M SOFT
Mattstagraham Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I like telling strangers have a nice day
(I'm soft)
I cry at movies when they get really deep
(I'm soft)
Squishing bugs makes me really upset
I try to catch them and release them every chance that I get.
I saw that comment you left on my last video
And you should really know
Words hurt
Mother fucker words hurt
Sorry I said mother fucker that was pretty insensitive of me
Please be nice I'm very soft!
Compliments make me cry out of joy
Every dog is a good girl or boy
I wanna hang but I just think I annoy you
Emotionally I am totally see through
I want everyone to think that I'm tough
But if we're honest, I just want to think that I am enough
I'm like an egg
I have a soft gooey center
And a slightly tougher exterior that's still pretty sensitive
Don't call me egg boy
Unless you're a close friend
Then you can call me egg boy
But it still kind of hurts my feelings
