When you touch me, I fall to pieces
I lose it
Your skin is soft as funeral music
And I think there's dust in my eyes
They won't stop leaking
'Cause when you walk out the door
I get a feeling I simply can't ignore
I've died a thousand times watching you leave
It's like my neck to the knife, softly
I'm falling from the high-rise when you say goodbye
My head hits the pavement so softly
So softly
No, I've never heard a sound as sweet as when you turn the key
Don't try to read me because I'm not a book
I was made to be loved
Not understood
And when I find your shirt in my drawer
It makes me feel like a prisoner of war
I've died a thousand times watching you leave
It's like my neck to the knife, softly
I'm falling from the high-rise when you say goodbye
My head hits the pavement so softly
So softly
Let's do a crime
Share a cell together
Throw away the key
Oh, the less the merrier
Let's do a crime
Share a cell together
Throw away the key
Oh, the less the merrier
I've died a thousand times watching you leave (oh, the less the merrier)
I'm falling from the high-rise when you say goodbye (oh, the less the merrier)
So softly
