(Intro)
Yeah…
Slow lights… late nights…
You know the vibe…
(Verse 1)
Neon dripping on your skin, I see it glow
Say you different, but you moving like you don’t
Whispers in the dark, you playing roles
I felt the shift before you let it show
Got me caught up in your silhouette
Every word you say, I second guess
You pull me close just to create a mess
Then act like I’m the one who’s obsessed
(Pre-Chorus)
You say you’re real, but it’s all illusion
Sweet little lies in your confusion
Love like yours got no conclusion
I see right through it… no more delusion
(Chorus)
That’s a velvet lie, how you hold me tight
Say forever, but you gone by night
Play with fire, now you want me right
But I’m done with your velvet lies
Velvet lie, yeah you look so true
But the truth never looked like you
Had my heart but you let it slide
Now I’m free from your velvet lies
(Verse 2)
Late calls, you hit me when it’s convenient
Talk cheap, but your actions misleading
I gave more than I ever needed
You just took it, never believed it
Now I’m riding through the city solo
Windows down, I don’t need no logo
Heart cold, but my mind in control though
You were temporary, that’s the motto
(Bridge)
Don’t say my name like you know me
You lost that chance when you showed me
Love ain’t a game, you can’t hold me
I leveled up, now you below me
(Chorus)
That’s a velvet lie, how you hold me tight
Say forever, but you gone by night
Play with fire, now you want me right
But I’m done with your velvet lies
Velvet lie, yeah you look so true
But the truth never looked like you
Had my heart but you let it slide
Now I’m free from your velvet lies
(Outro)
Yeah…
No more late nights, no more disguise
I see clear through your velvet lies…
