Softly

Softly (mmm)
Softly (mmm)
Softly (mmm)

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, yeah, yeah)

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 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 (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

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

Oh-no-ooh
Oh-no-ooh
Oh-no-ooh
(Just, please, tread softly, yeah, yeah)
Oh-no-ooh
Oh-no-ooh
Oh-no-ooh
Please, tread softly

I need you the most
I spread my love (spread my love) along your path so, please tread softly
Please tell me you won't go stomping harshly (stomping)
You don't have to want me, but please tread softly (oh, love)
Softly (oh, no)
Softly (softly)
Softly (softly)
Softly, yeah, yeah

Softly, mmm
Mmm
Mmm
