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
