[Verse 1] Ash on the bedsheet Coffee gone cold by the door Your scent is still in the bathroom Like you’re still here But you’re not anymore Curtains stay half-open Just enough grey to seep in I talk to the plants you left me They’re dying slow Like whatever I’ve been [Chorus] Black velvet heart Hangs heavy in my chest Doesn’t beat Just burns I tear it apart But every ripped piece has your name It returns I curl like a sad stray Waiting in the rain For a hand that never comes Black velvet heart You’re the bruise that never numbs [Verse 2] I sleep in your side of the bed So I don’t dream where you lay I wear the shirt that you hated ’cause it still smells Like you walked away Friends say I’ll “find someone” I just stare through the glass Watch my breath fog up and vanish Like all the soft Things we never asked [Chorus] Black velvet heart Hangs heavy in my chest Doesn’t beat Just burns I tear it apart But every ripped piece has your name It returns I curl like a sad stray Waiting in the rain For a hand that never comes Black velvet heart You’re the bruise that never numbs [Bridge] Tell me Did you ever love me Or just the light I gave your dark? Now the shadows stain my teeth Every laugh tastes sharp If I’m hard to hold now You’re the reason that I scratch I was gold once Soft once Now I hiss when someone asks [Chorus] Black velvet heart Hangs heavy in my chest Doesn’t beat Just burns I tear it apart But every ripped piece has your name It returns I curl like a sad stray Waiting in the rain For a hand that never comes Black velvet heart You’re the bruise that never numbs
