His words were magic
like the music of the wind
it's deep richness soothing
like the gentle toss of the ocean's waves
his hands caressed my face
like the whisper of lashes against my cheek

He ever so softly said it...
but his words hurt deeply
cutting through my chest like a knife
shattering my hope, my love, my dreams
like the mirror on the wall
left to lay scattered across the floor...

(Chorus)
He's killing me softly with his words
and the very emotions of which they speak
breaking my heart, and twisting the pieces
tearing it apart with the edges of our lost love

I don't want to go on.
Oh no...
Not without him.
He is my life, my dreams, my everything
But oh...
how it hurt so bad
to watch him walk away
knowing what I did...
knowing he still loved me

(Chorus)

He left...
left me sinking into the ground
like a sunken ship lost in the mighty blue waters
slowly the pain swallowed all the light within me
shadowing everything....darkening my world

And, Oh, how I miss him
his smile, his laughter, his touch
But he left
leaving behind his words
achingly beautiful words...

He's killing me softly with his words
and the very emotions of which they speak
breaking my heart, and twisting the pieces
tearing it apart with the edges of our lost love
(Repeat and fade as you near the end....)
