Lyrics

Softly Spoken

Softly spoken

It took a minute to take it in
To analyze all that he meant
Re-read the letter, dissected it
Recalled the kiss and now it's just exhausting

But I left no bruises on his ego
And I left no scratches on his car

But there's been far too long spent falling at his feet
With my arms wide open
Didn't interrupt him
When he called me softly spoken

Endless nights up waiting for a cue
While I felt so used
Didn't wanna lose him
So I was softly spoken

I trace the suburb where he lives
And admit that I miss him
But on the corner where he took my hand
I remember that he just leaves me stranded

Far too long spent falling at his feet
With my arms wide open
Didn't interrupt him
When he called me softly spoken

Endless nights up waiting for a cue
While I felt so used
Didn't wanna lose him
So I was softly spoken

Ah
Ah
Ah
Ah (so I was softly spoken)

Ah (didn't interrupt)
Ah (didn't wanna lose)
Ah (oh, oh)
Ah (softly spoken)

But I left no bruises on his-
I left no bruises on his-

Ah (I left no bruises)
Ah (I left no bruises)
Ah (I left no bruises)
Ah (I left no bruises)
