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 No, I've never heard a sound as sweet as when you turn the key 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 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
