"Softly" lyrics

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

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

I've never heard a sound as sweet
As when you turn the key
Ah-la-la-la, la-la-la

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

Ah-la-la-la, la-la-la
Ah-la-la-la, la-la-la

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
