[Female Lead] [Intro] You didn’t lose me tonight That’s cute You lost me Three arguments ago [Verse 1] I don’t leave when I’m angry Angry still wants a reaction I leave when your name Stops changing my expression That’s different No tears No suitcase by the doorway No midnight speech You can quote to your friends I finished grieving us While you were still Winning arguments You thought silence meant peace Baby Silence meant I stopped submitting appeals [Pre-Chorus] You didn’t see it That’s the trick Soft hands Clean cut Velvet exit [Chorus] Velvet exit You won’t feel it till I’m gone No warning No sirens Just my perfume hanging on Velvet exit Smooth enough to miss the blade By the time You notice I’m leaving I’ve already Changed my name In your favorite mistakes Velvet exit No scene Just gone [Verse 2] You keep mistaking access For permanence Common problem You had front-row seats And somehow still Missed the ending Impressive I stopped asking Where you were That should’ve scared you Stopped checking your tone Stopped reading between lines Stopped caring Who won That was the funeral Everything after Was paperwork [Pre-Chorus] You didn’t see it That’s the trick Soft hands Clean cut Velvet exit [Chorus] Velvet exit You won’t feel it till I’m gone No warning No sirens Just my perfume hanging on Velvet exit Smooth enough to miss the blade By the time You notice I’m leaving I’ve already Changed my name In your favorite mistakes [Breakdown] [Beat cuts hard] You want closure? Fine The door closed You were just Too busy talking To hear the latch [Beat slams back] [Bridge] I could break something If you need a souvenir Could scream Could cry Could make the ending Easier to understand But that would make this About you again And I’m fresh out Of charity [Final Chorus] Velvet exit Now you feel it that I’m gone No warning No sirens Just the shape where I belonged Velvet exit Soft enough to leave no stain You can call it Cold if that helps I call it Not repeating The same mistake Velvet exit No scene No chase No second take [Outro] You didn’t lose me tonight You just noticed Tonight
