(Verse 1) Champagne tears on a Tuesday night Mascara running in neon lights You said forever with a crooked smile But forever only lasted a while Your fingerprints on my silver dress Your promises were a beautiful mess I let you dance in my lonely mind While you were loving someone else behind (Pre-Chorus) Oh, I know the script, I know the scene You play the saint, I’m seventeen Naïve enough to still believe Every word you breathe (Chorus) You wrap your truth in velvet lies Kiss my lips, then roll your eyes Call it love but it feels like crime Stealing pieces of my time I gave you gold, you gave me pain A broken heart in pouring rain But baby now I realize Your love was only velvet lies (Verse 2) Taxi rides at 3 AM Your cologne on my skin again You talk like poets in black and white But treat my heart like a late-night fight Crystal glasses, shattered trust Your “I’m sorry” turned to dust I was drowning in your sea While you were learning how to leave (Pre-Chorus) Oh, I heard the truth between the lines In all your perfectly timed goodbyes I was your song for a lonely night Not the love of your life (Chorus) You wrap your truth in velvet lies Kiss my lips, then roll your eyes Call it love but it feels like crime Stealing pieces of my time I gave you gold, you gave me pain A broken heart in pouring rain But baby now I realize Your love was only velvet lies (Bridge) No more diamonds made of tears No more drowning in your fears I’m walking out in higher heels Finally knowing how it feels To love myself a little more Than the ghost you were before (Final Chorus) You wrapped your truth in velvet lies But I can see through your disguise I gave my soul, you played your part Like jazz and smoke inside the dark But baby now I’ve cut the ties No more falling for your eyes I’m done believing velvet lies Yeah, I’m done believing velvet lies
