Killing Me Softly
POP BALLADS Lyrics

Strumming my pain with his fingers
He played the guitar so well that it spoke to me, conveying the depth of pain that I was feeling.

Singing my life with his words
The lyrics of his song were so poignant that they felt like they were meant just for me, and spoke of my life experiences.

Killing me softly with his song
The emotion and meaning in his song was so intense that it felt like it was slowly destroying me from inside with every note.

Telling my whole life with his words
The message of his song was so powerful that it described my whole life story in just a few lines of poetry.

I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style
I had heard reports about him being a talented musician and having a unique style of performing.

And so I came to see him and listen for a while
Out of curiosity and hope, I went to his concert to see if he was as good as people said.

And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes
He was a young man, whom I had never met before and did not know anything about him.

I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd
My excitement to hear his music made me blush and feel awkward in front of the large, loud audience.

I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud
His lyrics were so relatable that I felt like he had read my private letters and was singing about my secrets for everyone to hear.

I prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on...
I was overwhelmed by the raw emotion in his singing and was hoping he would stop, but he kept going with even more passion and depth.
