Killing Me Softly

Strumming my pain with his fingers(one time one time)Singing my life with his words(two times two times)Killing me softly with his songKilling me softly with his songTelling my whole life with his wordsKilling me softly, with his songI heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a styleAnd so I came to see him, to listen for a whileAnd there he was, this young boy, a stranger to my eyeschorusI felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowdI felt he found my letters, and read each one out loudI prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right onchorusHe sang as if he knew me, and all my dark despairand then he looked right through me as if I wasn't thereAnd he just kept on singing, singing clear and strongchorus fadesohoooooooooh lalalalalalalal.....(etc.)chorus repeats
