[Verse 1]
Midnight in my bathroom mirror
Lipstick like a crime scene line
Tracing all the things I fear
Across a mouth that says I'm fine
[Pre-Chorus]
I dress my panic up in leather
Call it “just a different mood”
If I look sharp enough they'll never
Taste the poison in my truth (oh)
[Chorus]
I'm a velvet cut
You don't see it till you're bleeding
Soft touch
Bad luck
Kiss you once and leave you needing
Sugar on the rim
Dark in the middle of the feeling
I'm a velvet cut
You won't heal from what I'm keeping
[Verse 2]
Laughing at the wrong time
Shaking
Hands inside my jacket sleeves
Every promise that I'm breaking
Glitter stuck to open seams
[Pre-Chorus]
You say you like me damaged
Ruined
Say it like a compliment
But every time you trace my bruises
You just push the needle in (yeah)
[Chorus]
I'm a velvet cut
You don't see it till you're bleeding
Soft touch
Bad luck
Kiss you once and leave you needing
Sugar on the rim
Dark in the middle of the feeling
I'm a velvet cut
You won't heal from what I'm keeping
[Bridge]
Would you love me
If you saw the teeth behind the cherry smile?
Would you stay here
If you knew I've been counting exits all the while? (all the while)
[Chorus]
I'm a velvet cut
You don't see it till you're bleeding
Soft touch
Bad luck
Kiss you once and leave you needing
Sugar on the rim
Dark in the middle of the feeling
I'm a velvet cut
You won't heal from what I'm keeping
[Outro]
Velvet
Velvet
Say my name like you're still breathing
Velvet cut
You won't heal from what I'm keeping
