Soft In My Own Skin

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Mornings used to start with mirrors Counting every line and every flaw Picking at the quiet in my spirit Like I owed the whole world more Now I pour my coffee slow Let the sunlight write across my face Tell myself “you’re here That’s plenty” And I let that truth just take up space [Chorus] I’m soft in my own skin Wrapped in the warmth I used to chase I fall and I still win Every part of me has a place I’m learning how to stay Even when my doubts get loud I’m soft in my own skin And I’m finally feeling proud [Verse 2] Used to scroll through perfect strangers Measuring my worth by their display Chasing after standards made of smoke rings Losing all the colors in my day Now I dance inside my kitchen Off beat Hair wild Socks on the floor Laughing at the voice that used to haunt me It doesn’t hold the keys anymore [Chorus] [Bridge] I won’t shrink I won’t apologize For the curve For the scar For the shine in my eyes [low vocal register] I am more than “almost right” [call-and-response backing] (You are enough) I am love in plain sight [crescendo] I am love in plain sight [Chorus]
