Soft Targets

[Verse 1] They saw the quiet and called it charm Saw the blood and called it warm Put their hands through the smile too far Now they're countin' all their fingers in the dark They liked the way I didn't fight Liked my face in the motel light Liked the way I never left Liked the smile because it bled [Pre-Chorus] Careful now Careful where you lean Some soft things Still got teeth you've never seen [Chorus] They love a soft target Till it learns how to bite They love a soft target Till it turns out the light All their clean hands shakin' All their big talk gone They love a soft target Till it bites what it loves [Verse 2] I built a name out of open doors Gave the room whatever it was hungry for Fed their mouths on borrowed grace Left my fingerprints all over the place They liked the way I didn't speak Liked the slow bend of the knee Liked the bruise because it hid Liked the wound until it lived [Pre-Chorus] Careful now Careful where you lean Some soft things Still got teeth you've never seen [Chorus] They love a soft target Till it learns how to bite They love a soft target Till it turns out the light All their clean hands shakin' All their big talk gone They love a soft target Till it bites what it loves
