Softly Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 leakin' 'Cause when you walk out the door I get a feeling I simply can't ignore [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] I've never heard a sound as sweet As when you turn the key Ah-la-la-la, la-la-la [Verse 2] Don't try to read me 'Cause I'm not 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 [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] Ah-la-la-la, la-la-la Ah-la-la-la, la-la-la [Bridge] Let's do a crime Share a cell together Throw away the key Oh, the less the merrier Let's do a crime Share a cell together Throw away the key Oh, the less the merrier [Outro] 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
