Velvet Room

(Verse 1)
Late nights talk louder than your voice
I read betrayal in the quiet
Every smile feels like a choice
Between believing you or my mind
You’re still here, you hold my hand
But my thoughts don’t understand
I invent girls with no names
Just to have someone to blame

(Pre-Chorus)
They say love shouldn’t make you small
But I shrink inside my fears
All my friends are dressed in white
I’m still measuring the years

(Chorus)
Will you ever marry me
Or am I loving in delay?
They’re building homes and families
I’m stuck guessing if I’ll stay
So I close my eyes and drift away
Fantasy feels safer anyway

(Verse 2)
I don’t know if you ever lied
Or if I’m bleeding from my past
Truth and doubt sleep side by side
Nothing here feels built to last
I ask the ceiling, not your mouth
Questions I don’t dare say out loud
Reality’s too sharp to hold
So I escape before I’m old

(Pre-Chorus)
My mind becomes a velvet room
Where I don’t have to choose
Between trusting what I feel
Or losing you

(Chorus)
Will you ever choose me fully
Or keep me wondering why?
You kiss me like you mean it
But my fear won’t let me try
So I disappear into my head
Where love stays soft and never ends

(Bridge (Fantasy Core))
I let your echoes spin slowly
Across the halls inside my brain
Like a slow dance made of moments
I replay to ease the pain
Loving you still cracks my chest
But loving you is all I know
I’m not strong enough to face the truth
I’m just aching for something real
So I stay busy dreaming you
The version that would never leave
My fantasies keep me breathing
When reality won’t give relief

(Outro)
If I look calm, it’s all pretend
I survive in what I imagine
I’d rather live inside my mind
Than drown in questions with no end
