A Soft Heart (Resistance Reprise)
Why are you so sad, dear?
What burdens tug on your heart?
Draw tears from your kind eyes...
STOP
NO!!!!
Why are you aching?
I can feel it in my soul
YOU KNOW NOTHING OF ME
You’re not well, my love
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ME!!!!!
Come here
I’ll hold you for a bit
GET AWAY
Wrap you in a warm embrace
Feel the consistency of my heart
Feel the strength in my arms
I DON’T WANT YOUR AFFECTION
I DON’T DESERVE IT
YOU WRAP ME IN YOUR
HIDEOUS
PITY
Let me carry it all for a stretch
You don’t have to do it all alone
OF COURSE I DO
YOU KNOW I DO
I
AALLWWAAYYSS
DO
Though I know you can, my warrior
YOU IDIOT!
But I can't watch you do this
Destroy yourself
WHY THE HELL NOT???
Slowly, subtly
I've noticed
DEAR, I WANT THIS!
LET ME GO
And it makes me very afraid
STOP PRETENDING YOU CARE
I KNOW BETTER
Despite what you believe, darling
You are really quite lovely
YOU BREATHE LIES
Your presence a treasure
STOP. NOW.
You are exquisite
YOU ******* LIAR
Sweetheart, just rest for a bit
Can you do that for me?
NO. I DON’T WANT REST
I WANT TO
BURN!!!
Sit with me
Tell me everything on your mind
Release every tear you've been hiding
I'll just listen
I'll just be here with you
Until you're alright
YOU FOOL
I HAVE NO PLANS
TO EVER REACH
“ALRIGHT”
