Softly

Softly (mm-mm) Softly (mm-mm) Softly (mm-mm) Oh lover, why you got me clobbered? Frustrated and bothered Paranoid that you'll destroy my color And paint it, cover it, and fade it Leave me looking jaded How do I still love you when I hate this? Got me keeping quiet But you know I wanna talk about it I don't wanna have to hide it I need someone to confide in Don't let me stow it away 'Cause I can barely fight it It's a constant ache when I'm reminded that You never call my telephone But you know we're both alone What is it you're holding on to? Because there's something wrong I understand that you may never want me close But understand that I need you the most, I spread my love Along your path so please tread softly Please tell me you won't go stomping harshly You don't have to want me, but please tread softly Softly Softly Softly Softly, yeah, yeah Karma, why do I even bother? When you never wanna stick with me Instead of choosing others to favor You know I can't hate her For watching him go chase her Nothing he could do could ever phase her Got me sick and tired of the faking and the lying But god knows that I'm trying to stay But she's denying that she ever fell in love With the pages of his mind But she didn't wanna be in his cages all the time Forgive me if you find me replaying it in my head You saying what you said, words I wish I never read 'Cause I, I I need you the most, I spread my love Along your path so please tread softly Please tell me you won't go stomping harshly You don't have to want me, but please tread softly Softly Softly Softly Softly, yeah, yeah Please tread softly Please tread softly I need you the most, I spread my love (I spread my love) Along your path so please tread softly Please tell me you won't go stomping harshly You don't have to want me but please tread softly (oh) Softly (oh, no) Softly (softly) Softly Softly, yeah, yeah Softly Mm-mm Mm-mm Hmmm
