[Verse 1]
You wake up with the sun in your face
Hungover thoughts you can’t erase
She left her jacket, but took your peace
You laugh like that’s some kind of relief
[Pre-Chorus]
You walk through fire just to feel the heat
Fall in love with every beat
You say you’re fine, but never sleep
Still dreamin’ through your teeth
[Chorus]
Velvet chains, they hold you close
You love the pain, but hate it most
Livin' fast, breathin’ slow
You smile wide, then let it go
Yeah, life’s a song you can’t stop playin’
Even when the notes feel like they’re breakin’
[Post-Chorus]
You love it — you hate it
You crave it — you fake it
You're chained in gold
Still tryin’ to make it
[Verse 2]
You told yourself you’d change last June
But nights get loud when you chase the moon
Your mama’s voice still in your head
But peace feels foreign in your bed
[Pre-Chorus]
You write your truth in melodies
Dress your wounds in harmonies
And smile like you’re finally free
But you’re knee-deep in repeat
[Chorus]
Velvet chains, they hold you close
You love the pain, but hate it most
Livin' fast, breathin’ slow
You smile wide, then let it go
Yeah, life’s a song you can’t stop playin’
Even when the notes feel like they’re breakin’
[Bridge] (Emotive guitar solo, light reverb vocals)
You chase the dark like it’s a friend
You swear you’ll stop — but not just yet
Burn your map, forget the road
If this is love, don’t let it show...
[Final Chorus]
Velvet chains, they hold you tight
You dance with fire every night
You crash but still enjoy the ride
Even as you run from light
You’re fallin’, but damn... you’re feelin’ alive
[Outro]
You love it — you hate it
You crave it — you fake it
But deep down you know...
You wouldn’t trade it.
