Hannah Grace - Softer (Official Lyric Video)

Description

My brand new album BIGGER PICTURE is available to preorder now: https://hangracemusic.shop

I have always been a softie. I take things to heart and have always been lead by how I feel in the moment. This has often made it hard to navigate being an artist in the music industry because it can just be so tough going. A few years ago I just really wasn’t sure whether I could keep going because it was getting completely soul destroying and impossible to imagine overcoming the struggle - I was always trying to be different in order to fit into the industry and what I thought it demanded from me. I was talking about this with my good friend Nina and she encouraged me to see my softness as a strength and really lean into it rather than fight it. We wrote ‘Softer’ together and ever since I’ve felt much more myself in what I do and have started carving out my own lil softer corner in the industry and it feels good to be here now releasing the music that came from this space. I feel like the song and the sound of the track really reflects the care free feeling of letting go of that pressure and being happy in your own skin as you are.


LYRICS:

Everybody’s telling me
I gotta toughen up and be
Protective of my own heart
If I don’t wanna fall apart
But honestly I'd rather be
Feeling hurt than empty
Cause if I had a thicker skin
How could I let the good love in

I want to stay soft around the edges
Don’t wanna put up the walls, and get comfortable and miss all the best bits
Coming in strong, and I’m gonna let it
I’ll let it wash over me like water
Cause feeling softer don’t make me smaller
I’ll be softer, I’ll be warmer
I’ll let it wash over me like water
Cause feeling softer don’t make me smaller
I’ll be softer, I’ll be warmer
I’ll let it wash over me like water
Cause feeling softer don’t make me smaller

Now I like me better
Without all the pressure
Coz I wanna feel something real something
Deeper and deeper than ever
I’m ready to be open
I want to let it flow in (mmm)
Oh I’ve come so far
I don’t wanna try so hard

I want to stay soft around the edges
Don’t wanna put up the walls and get comfortable and miss all the best bits
Coming in strong, and I’m gonna let it
I’ll let it wash over me like water
Cause feeling softer don’t make me smaller
I’ll be softer, I’ll be warmer
I’ll let it wash over me like water
Cause feeling softer don’t make me smaller
I’ll be softer, I’ll be warmer
I’ll let it wash over me like water
Cause feeling softer don’t make me smaller
