Velour lies
Intro (soft) You taste like midnight But you talk like sunrise… Verse 1 Your hands trace velvet on my skin Like you’ve done this all before You say I’m different from the rest But I’ve heard that line before Candles flicker in your eyes Sweet perfume and alibis You pull me close and say my name Like you almost mean it Pre-Chorus Don’t whisper love If you don’t feel it Don’t say forever If you don’t see it You hold me tight But something’s shifting Your kiss is fire But it’s still drifting Chorus (big, high, dramatic) Velour lies in the summer heat You say I’m yours but you’re incomplete When you call my name like that I almost believe it Velour lies in your honey tone You pull me close but I’m still alone If this is love, then why Do I feel the distance? Ahhh— You make it sound like heaven Ahhh— But I feel the truth in between Verse 2 Balcony breeze, your shirt on mine City lights and blurred-out time You look at me like I’m the one But your silence says you run Your touch says stay Your eyes say go You give me warmth But your heart stays cold Pre-Chorus Don’t promise more If you won’t fight it Don’t pull me in If you won’t dive in I feel the cracks Beneath the passion Your love’s a dream With no reaction Chorus (stronger, layered harmonies) Velour lies in the summer heat You say I’m yours but you’re incomplete When you call my name like that I almost believe it Velour lies in your honey tone You pull me close but I’m still alone If this is love, then why Do I feel the distance? Bridge (stripped back) Maybe I like the danger Maybe I like the flame Maybe I love the way you say My name… (soft falsetto rise) But velvet words can’t save us If truth won’t stay Final Chorus (highest vocal moment) Velour lies in the midnight air You say you care — do you even care? When you hold me like I’m gold Why does it feel so cold? Ahhh— You make it sound like heaven Ahhh— But heaven shouldn’t hurt this way
