[Verse 1]
Left my phone on the dresser
Face down, screen still buzzin' in the dark
Rent due, heart bruised, dishes in the sink
All these little heavy things, pullin' me apart
Clock says 3, I’m awake anyway
Ceiling fan hum like a tired old friend
Scrollin’ through the could’ve-beens, would’ve-beens, shoulda
Same stories looping, never reachin’ the end
[Chorus]
Soft edges, hard days
Tryna round out all these jagged ways
Let the world blur, let the hurt fade
In this small room, I feel half okay
Soft edges, hard days
Makin’ peace with every sharp mistake
Breathe in slow, let the past wave
Wash right over me, then slip away
[Verse 2]
Cold cup, ring on the nightstand wood
Did my best, still wonder if it did any good
Mom text, “baby, take care of yourself”
I leave it on read, then I read somethin’ else
Old hoodie, same holes, same smell
Still hangin’ on like it’s holdin’ me as well
I laugh at nothin’, then I sigh too long
[low vocal register] Tell myself quiet, you’re allowed to feel wrong
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Yeah, I been so mean to my own reflection
Talkin’ like I’m not worth the protection
But I’m learnin’ how to talk to that kid in the mirror
Call him “brother” till the picture get clearer
[whispered vocals] It’s alright, you can rest for a while
Loosen up your jaw, try a crooked little smile
Not fixed, just mending on the way
Soft edges comin’ ‘round the hard day
[Chorus]
