|
strumming my pain with his fingers, |
|
singing my life with his words, |
|
killing me softly with his song, |
|
killing me softly with his song, |
|
telling my whole life with his words, |
|
killing me softly with his song. |
|
i heard he sang a good song, |
|
i heard he had a style, |
|
and so i came to see him and listen for a while. |
|
and there he was this young boy, |
|
stranger to my eyes, |
|
strumming my pain with his fingers, |
|
singing my life with his words, |
|
killing me softly with his song, |
|
killing me softly with his song, |
|
telling my whole life with his words, |
|
killing me softly with his song. |
|
i felt all flushed with fever, |
|
embarrassed by the crowd, |
|
i felt he found my letters and read each one out loud. |
|
i prayed that he would finish, |
|
but he just kept right on strumming my pain with his fingers, |
|
singing my life with his words, |
|
killing me softly with his song, |
|
killing me softly with his song, |
|
telling my whole life with his words, |
|
killing me softly with his song |
|
he sang sa if he knew me , |
|
in all my dark despair |
|
and then he looked right through me , |
|
as if l wasn't there |
|
and he just keep on saying , |
|
sining clear and strong |
|
strumming my pain with his fingers, |
|
singing my life with his words, |
|
killing me softly with his song, |
|
killing me softly with his song, |
|
telling my whole life with his words, |
|
killing me softly with his song. |
|
oh |
|
la.oh |
|
la |
|
he was strumming my pain , |
|
yeah,he was singing my life |
|
killing me softly with his song, |
|
killing me softly with his song, |
|
telling my whole life with his words, |
|
killing me softly with his song. |
