Softly

When you touch me

I fall to pieces, I lose it

Your skin is soft as funeral music

And I think there's dust in my eyes

They won't stop leaking

'Cause when you walk out the door

I get a feeling I simply can't ignore

I've died a thousand times

Watching you leave

It's like my neck to the knife softly

I'm falling from the high-rise

When you say goodbye

My head hits the pavement so softly

So softly

And I've never heard a sound as sweet

As when you turn the key

La da da la da da da da

Don't try to read me

Because I'm not a book

I was made to be loved

Not understood

And when I find your shirt

In my drawer

It makes me feel like a prisoner of war

I've died a thousand times

Watching you leave

It's like my neck to the knife softly

I'm falling from the high-rise

When you say goodbye

My head hits the pavement so softly

So softly

Let's do a crime

Share a cell together

Throw away the key

Oh the less the merrier, ah

Let's do a crime

Share a cell together

Throw away the key

Oh the less the merrier

I've died a thousand times

Watching you leave

Oh the less the merrier

I'm falling from the high-rise

When you say goodbye

Oh the less the merrier

So softly
