[Verse 1]
Where am I? Where are you?
There's so much time, so little to do
We're busy doing nothing 'cause it's vanity we prize
You can't see nothing 'cause you can't see through your eyes
They're covered with a film, you're blinded by yourself
You're the one to blame but you pretend it's someone else

[Chorus]
Life, could you be a little softer to me?
Life, could you be more gentle to me?
Softer (Softer)
Softer, softer
Softer to me

[Verse 2]
I'm still alive, that much is true
I've never lied, well, I guess I've told a few
There's nothing to see because I brought nothing to show
The conversation got too deep, I shrug and tell you I don't know
This world can get so hard, this world can be so cruel
Sometimes I fall apart I feel just like a useless tool, yeah

[Chorus]
Life, could you be a little softer to me?
Life, could you be more gentle to me?
Yeah, I know
This is a selfish plea
Because Christ sacrificed
His flesh on the Cross for me
But this world is hard
It's cruel and I wish it would be
Softer (Softer)
Softer, softer
Softer to me
[Outro]
Life, could you be more gentle to me?
