Love Me Softly - ZaNaMusic
You used to hold me
When I couldn't sleep
You kissed my forehead
You stayed when I wept
You knew my coffee
You knew my fears
You heard my silence
Before my tears
Your hands were gentle
Your voice was warm
I thought your arms would always be home
Then something changed
You stopped seeing me
I reached for your hand
You let it fall free
I cried beside you
You looked away
My heart was hurting
You asked what should I say
I wasn't asking
For diamonds or skies
I just needed tenderness
Behind your eyes
I whisper softly
Be gentle with me
You said nothing
The silence broke me
So I stopped asking
I stopped reaching out
I stopped explaining what love was about
You forgot my heart
You forgot how to hold me
You once touched my soul
Like nothing could hurt me
You forgot my heart
And I faded away
I kept loving you softly
While you loved me halfway
I didn't need forever
I needed you to care
I needed one gentle touch
One sign you were there
You forgot my heart
So I learned to let go
You taught me what tenderness was
Then took it away so slow
You forgot my heart
You forgot how to hold me
You once touched my soul
Like nothing could hurt me
You forgot my heart
And I faded away
I kept loving you softly
While you loved me halfway
I didn't need forever
I needed you to care
I needed one gentle touch
One sign you were there
You forgot my heart
So I learned to let go
You taught me what tenderness was
Then took it away so slow
I didn't leave because I stopped loving you
I left because I had to love me too
I still remember
The way you held me
Before your hands forgot how to be gentle
I loved you deeply
I loved you true
But I won't beg for tenderness from you
You forgot my heart
So I finally remembered mine
