Softly

Softly

Softly

Oh lover, why you got me clobbered?

Frustrated and bothered

Paranoid that you’ll destroy my colour

And paint it, cover it and fade it

Leave me looking jaded

Why 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 somebody 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 is 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)

Oh, karma

Why do I even bother?

When you never wanna stick with me

Instead of choosing others to favour

You know I can’t hate her

For watching him go chase her

When nothing he could do could ever phase her Got me sick and tired

Of the sneaking 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

Oh no uh, oh no uh, oh no uh

Just please tread softly

Oh no uh, oh no uh, oh no uh

Please tread softly

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

Softly
