Love Destroyed Me Softly - Aliza
Shadow stretch with no respite
Your hands once warm, now memory
Love destroyed me softly
I let you in, I let you stay
Gave all my light, gave all my day
Every word you said, I believed
Every touch, a wound I received
I held my heart beneath your hands
You broke me gently like shifting sands
I wanted love, but it turned to pain
Soft destruction falling like rain
I tried to speak, I tried to fight
But you consumed me out of sight
Love destroyed me softly, I can't resist
Every kiss, a lingering twist
You tore me down, but I stayed near
Softly bleeding, year by year
Love destroyed me softly, I gave my all
Fell through your cracks, to every call
I lost myself in your gentle storm
Softly broken, no longer warm
I see your face in every dream
Feel your silence in every scream
I wanted us, I wanted more
But you left me on broken shore
I whisper prayers to keep you near
But only echoes would turn my fear
I thought love healed, but it betrayed
Softly fading, my colors drained
I tried to speak, I tried to fight
But you consumed me out of sight
Love destroyed me softly, I can't resist
Every kiss, a lingering twist
You tore me down, but I stayed near
Softly bleeding, year by year
Love destroyed me softly, I gave my all
Fell through your cracks, to every call
I lost myself in your gentle storm
Softly broken, no longer warm
If love is meant to lift, to heal
Why does it hurt, so quiet, me so real
I'd take the pain, the scars, the night
To feel your presence once in light
Softly broken, softly gone
Love destroyed me softly, I can't resist
Every kiss, a lingering twist
You tore me down, but I stayed near
Softly bleeding, year by year
Love destroyed me softly, I gave my all
Fell through your cracks, to every call
I lost myself in your gentle storm
Softly broken, no longer warm
Shadows linger where you used to be
Love destroyed me softly, but set me free
