Velvet Lies

You felt like truth… But you were softer… You wrapped me up in velvet lies Soft like truth but dressed in disguise Every word felt safe to believe But you gave me something I couldn’t keep Your touch was warm like a midnight flame Calling me back every time I strayed I knew deep down but I played along ‘Cause your illusion felt too strong I heard the truth knocking at my door But your whisper said “don’t ask for more” Velvet lies… I held them close Warmer than the truth I chose Even when I knew inside I was living off your velvet lies Velvet lies… pull me in Like a sweet and silent sin Every time I tried to fight I fell back into your velvet lies You painted dreams in shades of gold Turned my doubts into something sold Every promise, soft and slow Felt like heaven I didn’t know But every shadow starts to grow In the silence you don’t show And every truth I tried to find Faded when you crossed my mind I saw the cracks but I turned away ‘Cause your illusion made me stay Velvet lies… I held them close Warmer than the truth I chose Even when I knew inside I was living off your velvet lies Velvet lies… pull me in Like a sweet and silent sin Every time I tried to fight I fell back into your velvet lies Truth don’t feel like you do Cold and sharp, cutting through But your voice… it keeps me blind Like a drug inside my mind I don’t wanna let you go Even if I know… I know… Velvet lies… take control Wrap your shadows round my soul Even if it breaks me down I keep falling, I keep falling now Velvet lies… hold me tight Hide me from the truth tonight Even if it’s killing me You’re the only thing I need Velvet lies… Don’t let me see the truth…
