lyrics

You don't look me in the eye, and then you say goodbye.
Don't think that I don't see.
That boy that you've become, cowering beneath the sun,
you stopped pushing me to be.

And killing me softly is worse than stabbing me hard,
my heart knew its pleasures, and then you broke them apart.
I will learn to love again, but until then my fickle friend,
let me breathe, set me free.

You brace me against the wall, and whisper, "Dear don't fall, if I ever let you go."
Your words don't require a reply, but they certainly make me cry.
Against your directions, against your consent.

And killing me softly is worse than stabbing me hard,
my heart knew its pleasures, and then you tore them apart.
I will learn to love again, but until then my fickle friend,
let me breathe, set me free.

And I'm not going to wait til you love me back, because I'm better than that, you better get on track.
And I just won't accept your drunk pity kiss love, because I've been there before, please refer above.

And killing me softly is worse than stabbing me hard,
my heart knew its pleasures, and then you tore them apart.
I will learn to love again, but until then my fickle friend,
let me breathe, set me free.
Let me breathe, set me free.
