killing softly is very poetic song and I do not understand the content of the song exactly.
1: Is this about the woman is fall in love in the man in the stage, but he treats her bad, killing her softly?
2: The woman had a bad relationship in the past, and the young singer on stage happens to sing the song exactly describes her miserable relationship in the past?
3: This is a love song where a woman fall in love with a man who treats her badly, still she cannot leave him.
I want to know how you interpret the song. I am sure each person tastes the song differently, I think you sent this song because I am not attainable to you in general.
PS. You know Chinese foods make me easily fall in love. So you took me to Chinese dates in town, that was sweet memories.👨🌷👩

I like your no. 2 suggestion.
I always felt it was about someone being moved deeply, but also how being in a relationship changes you, kills the previous person you were as you become someone else as you evolve, being affected by the relationship with the other person.
「 Qちゃん、歌は美術品。「Killing Me Softly」の内容は聞く人によって、年齢や人生経験によって意味や価値や解釈が異なる。英語ということもあり、私にはどうも難しい歌だ。アメリカ人のQちゃんはどのように解釈しているの?Qちゃんバージョンの内容を知りたい。

From Wikipedia article:
In November 1971, Lieberman, then 20, went out with her friend Michele Willens to see Don McLean perform at the Troubadour nightclub in Los Angeles.[1] McLean's hit song "American Pie" was rising in the charts, but Lieberman was strongly affected by McLean singing another song: "Empty Chairs".[6][7] This song spurred her to write poetic notes on a paper napkin while he was performing the song.[8] Willens confirms that Lieberman was "scribbling notes" on a napkin as soon as McLean began singing the song. After the concert, Lieberman phoned Gimbel to read him her napkin notes and share her experience of a singer reaching deep inside her world with his song.[1] Lieberman's description reminded Gimbel of a song title that was already in his idea notebook, the title "killing us softly with some blues".[9] Gimbel expanded on Lieberman's notes, fleshing them out into song lyrics. Gimbel said in 1973 that "Her conversation fed me, inspired me, gave me some language and a choice of words."[1] Gimbel passed these lyrics to Fox, who set them to music.[2]
