Don't Go Soft Lyrics

Barely a secret
Rusted metal
Anxiously
Too sick to fix it
Hope the lock fits
With her key

And there’s just one more thing
To fake before you go
I’ll stare at you
You’ll stare at me
And fill my hand with pins and needles

Don’t go soft
On breaking my heart
Don’t go soft
On breaking my heart

You’re like rust
I’m falling apart
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight

Blunt so you mean it
Slice it even just to see
What shade's the middle
Was it faded
With disease

Don’t go soft
On breaking my heart
Don’t go soft
On breaking my heart

And there’s just one more thing
To fake before you go
I’ll stare at you
You’ll stare at me
And fill my hand with pins and needles

Don’t go soft
On breaking my heart
Don’t go soft
On breaking my heart

You’re like rust
I’m falling apart
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight

There’s just one more thing
To fake before you go
I’ll stare at you
You’ll stare at me
And fill my hand with pins and needles

Don’t go soft
On breaking my heart
Don’t go soft
On breaking my heart

You’re like rust
I’m falling apart
You’re like rust
I’m falling apart
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight

Fear's In The Water

Barely a secret
Rusted metal
Anxiously
Too sick to fix it
Hope the lock fits
With her key

And there’s just one more thing
To fake before you go
I’ll stare at you
You’ll stare at me
And fill my hand with pins and needles

Don’t go soft
On breaking my heart
Don’t go soft
On breaking my heart

You’re like rust
I’m falling apart
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight

Blunt so you mean it
Slice it even just to see
What shade's the middle
Was it faded
With disease

Don’t go soft
On breaking my heart
Don’t go soft
On breaking my heart

And there’s just one more thing
To fake before you go
I’ll stare at you
You’ll stare at me
And fill my hand with pins and needles

Don’t go soft
On breaking my heart
Don’t go soft
On breaking my heart

You’re like rust
I’m falling apart
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight

There’s just one more thing
To fake before you go
I’ll stare at you
You’ll stare at me
And fill my hand with pins and needles

Don’t go soft
On breaking my heart
Don’t go soft
On breaking my heart

You’re like rust
I’m falling apart
You’re like rust
I’m falling apart
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
