I heard she had a style
And so I came to see her
To listen for a while
And there she was this young girl
A stranger to my eyes
Strummin' my pain with her fingers
Singin' my life with her words
Killing me softly with her song
Killing me softly, with her song
Telling my whole life with her words
Killing me softly, with her song
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt she found my letters
And read each one aloud
I prayed that she would finish
But she just kept right on
Strummin' my pain with her fingers
Singin' my life with her words
Killing me softly with her song
Killing me softly, with her song
Telling my whole life with her words
Killing me softly, with her song
She sang as if she knew me
In all my dark despair
And then she looked right through me
As if I wasn't there
But she was there, this stranger
Singing clear and strong
Strummin' my pain with her fingers
Singin' my life with her words
Killing me softly with her song
Killing me softly, with her song
Telling my whole life with her words
Killing me softly, with her song
Killing me softly, with her song
I heard she sang a good song I heard she had a style And so I came to see her To listen for a while And there she was this young girl A stranger to my eyes Strummin' my pain with her fingers Singin' my life with her words Killing me softly with her song Killing me softly, with her song Telling my whole life with her words Killing me softly, with her song I felt all flushed with fever Embarrassed by the crowd I felt she found my letters And read each one aloud I prayed that she would finish But she just kept right on Strummin' my pain with her fingers Singin' my life with her words Killing me softly with her song Killing me softly, with her song Telling my whole life with her words Killing me softly, with her song She sang as if she knew me In all my dark despair And then she looked right through me As if I wasn't there But she was there, this stranger Singing clear and strong Strummin' my pain with her fingers Singin' my life with her words Killing me softly with her song Killing me softly, with her song Telling my whole life with her words Killing me softly, with her song Killing me softly, with her song Explain Request ×
