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
Woo~~~~~~~~
woo~~~~ woo~~~
I heard
he sang a good song
I heard
he had had style
And so
I came to see him
The listen
for a while
And there he was
this young boy
A 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 in there
Is vital crowd
I felt
He found my letters
and read each one
Out loud afraid 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 as
if he knew me
In all my dark despair
and then he looked
Right through me
as if I wasn't there
And he just
kept on singing
Singing
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
with his words
Killing me softly
with his song
Uh~~~~~~~~~ la~~~~~~
uh~~~~~ la~~~ la~~~~~~
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
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~
