Killing Me Softly - Joseph Vincent

Strummin' my pain with her fingers, Singin' my life with her words, Killing me softly with her song, Killing me softly with her song, Telling my whole life with her words, Killing me softly with her song I heard she sang a good song, I heard she had a style, And so I came to see her, To listen for a while And there she was this young girl, A stranger to my eyes Strummin' my pain with her fingers, Singin' my life with her words, Killing me softly with her song, Killing me softly with her song, Telling my whole life with her words, Killing me softly with her song I felt all flushed with fever, Embarrassed by the crowd, I felt she found my letters, And read each one aloud I prayed that she would finish, But she just kept right on Strummin' my pain with her fingers, Singin' my life with her words, Killing me softly with her song, Killing me softly with her song, Telling my whole life with her words, Killing me softly with her song She sang as if she knew me, In all my dark despair, And then she looked right through me, As if I wasn't there But she was there this stranger, Singing clear and strong Strummin' my pain with her fingers, Singin' my life with her words, Killing me softly with her song, Killing me softly, with her song, Telling my whole life with her words, Killing me softly, with her song Killing me softly, with her song

It's 2 a.m., hear the cellular ringin' Got the curious feelin' you're fendin' for love But the thing is, we haven't spoken for weeks I love you bad, that's the problem occurrin' Better love I deserve, and I'm hurtin' But sadly, I worship every moment we meet So you take and you take 'cause you know you can And I chase as you're chasin' another man Try to break, see your face and I know that I can't Oh, you're killin' me You're not makin' it easy (ah-ah-ah) Too busy deceivin' and cheatin' and lyin' and competin' To know how lucky you are You're killin' me I just want you to free me (ah-ah-ah) And though I am cryin' and bleedin' and barely breathin' I can't let go of your heart I take your call, you say, "What's the matter?" Then you lie to me faster and faster, you're such a good actor I hear your car in the driveway Now you're tossin' a rock at my windowpane Said, "I don't wanna talk, just go away" But you claw at the locks 'til I let you invade Oh, you're killin' me (killin') You're not makin' it easy (ah-ah-ah) Too busy deceivin' and cheatin' and lyin' and competin' To know how lucky you are You're killin' me (killin') I just want you to free me (ah-ah-ah) And though I am cryin' and bleedin' and barely breathin' I can't let go of your heart I wanna die, but you keep me alive You're killin' me, you're killin' me I wanna die, but you keep me alive You're killin' me, you're killin' me I wanna die, but you keep me alive You're killin' me, you're killin' me Fight to survive, oh, love of my life You're killin' me Oh-oh, you're killin' me (killin') You're not makin' it easy (ah-ah-ah) Too busy deceivin' and cheatin' and lyin' and competin' To know how lucky you are (oh) You're killin' me (killin') I just want you to free me (ah-ah-ah) And though I am cryin' and bleedin' and barely breathin' I can't let go of your heart I wanna die, but you keep me alive You're killin' me (killin'), you're killi' me (killin', oh-oh) I wanna die, but you keep me alive No, I can't let go of your heart You're killin' me

You put a bullet in my heart Every time you look at me And it gets worse when we're apart So I need you right next to me And I don't wanna fall asleep 'Cause right here is better than my dreams That kind of love that makes you weak I can't barely breathe 'Cause your love is killing me And it's a habit I should break But I wouldn't change a thing And I wish you could feel my pain 'Cause your love is killing me 'Cause your love is killing me 'Cause your love is killing me 'Cause your love is killing me You push me until I break Ache in places can't explain I let you walk all over me You're the torture I won't free Cross my heart and hope to die It's a pain I won't deny You're one thing I wouldn't change Tell me, do you feel the same? 'Cause your love is killing me And it's a habit I should break But I wouldn't change a thing And I wish you could feel my pain 'Cause your love is killing me ('Cause your love is killing me) And I wish you could feel my pain 'Cause your love is killing me 'Cause your love is killing me 'Cause your love is killing me 'Cause your love is killing me 'Cause your love is killing me (Your love is killing me, me, me, me) (Love is killing me, me, me, me) (Love is killing me) And I wish you could feel my pain 'Cause your love is killing me

What if you're here when I'm not ready? What if I'm not willing to listen? I hope these devils never leave me 'Cos I keep taking what they're giving Right now it feels like killing time I'm running from the shadow of my former shadow's life Sometimes I wonder if I was ever really there? Right now it feels like killing time Lately I've been thinking about Just who I'm supposed to be There are lines forming on my hands and face Before today I have never seen But right now it feels like killing time I'm running from the shadow of my former shadow's life Sometimes I wonder if I was ever really there? Right now it feels like killing time Killing time, oh Killing time, oh Oh Right now it feels like killing time I'm running from the shadow of my former shadow's life Sometimes I think that I was never really there Right now it feels like killing time

Bite my hand Nothing of worth is ever coming to you Fall into error and swim the sands Breathe through the dirt, repeat your own point of view We can learn to stand in no man's land We fell in love with a death machine Too much will never be enough Push comes to shove, but it's heresy just to be Living is killing us Living is killing us Take the stand God knows that there is nothing else you can do Weaker together, a firebrand Another rebel that'll split us in two We're burning down a holy land We fell in love with a death machine Too much will never be enough Push comes to shove, but it's heresy just to be Living is killing us We built a home on a battleground Misfortunes never come alone Come quick, we've gotta turn this ship around Fuck it, I'll do it on my own We built a home on a battleground Misfortunes never come alone Come quick, we've gotta turn this ship around Fuck it, fuck it, I'll do it on my own We fell in love with a death machine Too much will never be enough Push comes to shove, but it's heresy just to be Living is killing us We fell in love with a death machine Too much will never be enough Push comes to shove, but it's heresy just to be Living is killing us
