Strumming my pain with his fingers
Saving my life with his wounds
Killing me softly with his son
Killing me softly
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
A stranger to my eye
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Sinning my life with his word
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life his words
Killing me softly
With his song love
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
Well he found my letters and read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on
Charming my pain with his fingers
Spinning my life with his word
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole lifehis words
Killing me softly
With his soul
Love
Killing me softly king so
