Softly Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm dazzled hard, we're in Berlin
And when you leave, just break it down to me softly
Through veils of rain, I'm shattering
I dip into the love we had with ease
Lemon and ginger beer, soap suds on navels
If I've upset you, could you maybe say so?
Has something changed, have I just missed the memo?
Tell me what I don't know
Oh, won't you
[Chorus]
Break it to me, break it to me, break it to me
Break it to me softly, I don't want no one else
Break it to me, break it to me, break it to me
Break it to me softly, I don't want no one else
Break it to me, break it to me, break it to me
Break it to me softly, I don't want no one else
Break it to me, break it to me, break it to me
Oh, I forget myself, I don't want no one else
[Verse 2]
The pressure thuds behind my eyes
You look at me as if it's my fault that we're stood here
The cobalt of your scarf has pulled clear
Stealing me traffic cones, smiling at babies
I must admit I wanted you to save me
Now I'm sat on the ground, feeling half crazy
I don't want you to go
Oh, won't you
[Chorus]
Break it to me, break it to me, break it to me
Break it to me softly, I don't want no one else
Break it to me, break it to me, break it to me
Break it to me softly, I don't want no one else
Break it to me, break it to me, break it to me
Break it to me softly, I don't want no one else
Break it to me, break it to me, break it to me
Oh, I forget myself, I don't want no one else
[Bridge]
Oh, I forget myself, I don't want no one else
Oh, I forget myself, I don't want no one else
Oh, I forget myself, I don't want no one else
Oh, won't you
[Chorus]
Break it to me, break it to me, break it to me
Break it to me softly, I don't want no one else
Break it to me, break it to me, break it to me
Break it to me softly, I don't want no one else
Break it to me, break it to me, break it to me
Break it to me softly, I don't want no one else
Break it to me, break it to me, break it to me
Oh, I forget myself, I don't want no one else

What did Arlo Parks say about "Softly"?
‘Softly’ is a song about yearning, about how fragile you feel in the dying days of a relationship when you’re still desperately in love. The song is about how it feels to brace yourself before the blow of a break up and reminisce about the days where it all felt luminous.
—via press release
What influenced "Softly"?
I was watching a lot of films by this director, this French director called Celiene Sciamma. She’s done, like, lots of films, there’s one called Tomboy, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, but at the heart of it is this real sense of yearning. I wanted this sense of desperation.
I was listening to, like, “...
What has the artist said about the image the song paints?
This song to me has this distinct, fiery
intensity to it – it’s a whirlwind of emotion.
The sadness and resignation of loss, the
anger of something being over inexplicably
the chorus is essentially “let me down gently
because if you’re brutal about it, I might not
survive it – be soft about the way...
