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
To 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
Strumming my pain
oh Singing my life
oh 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
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
