Killing Me Softly with Her Song

I heard she had a good song, I heard she had a style.
 And so I came alone to listen for a while.
 And there she was this young girl, a stranger to my eyes.
 Strumming my pain with her fingers,
 singing 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 out loud.
 And there she was this young girl, singing clear and strong.
 Strumming my pain with her fingers,
 singing 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 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 just came to singing, singing clear and strong.
 Strumming my pain with her fingers,
 singing 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
