[Verse 1] I found your note in the glovebox ash Lipstick stain on the corner flap Said "don't call when the room goes cold" But your name still rings in my phone I wore that bruise like a silver chain You wore my trust like a cheap parade Now the hallway's full of broken glass And I'm stepping slow, but I don't look back [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I can feel it coming That red room in my chest You said my heart was nothing Now it's pounding in your head [Chorus] Velvet knives You cut so clean Velvet knives Still haunt my dreams Say my name Then let it burn Velvet knives I always learn [Verse 2] Basement blue and a stolen kiss Smoke in the air, but it wasn't this I gave you the moon in a paper cup You poured it out just to watch it rust Your laugh hit hard like a backbeat snap Mine came quiet, then it came right back Now the same old street got a fresh new scar And I ride that pain like a stolen car [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I can feel it coming That red room in my chest You said my heart was nothing Now it's pounding in your head [Chorus] Velvet knives You cut so clean Velvet knives Still haunt my dreams Say my name Then let it burn Velvet knives I always learn [Bridge] [Female] I was the flame in your pocket You kept me close to the wire [Male] I was the kid in the wreckage Still reaching into the fire [Female] Take what you want, take the echo But you can't keep what you break [Male] I'm still standing in the fallout With your shadow on my face [Final Chorus] Velvet knives You cut so clean Velvet knives Still haunt my dreams Say my name Then let it burn Velvet knives I always learn Velvet knives Don't say goodbye Velvet knives Just let it die
