Crushed Velvet Lyrics

Veridia Crushed Velvet

Don't want to be naive
Pretending not to see
Your body took the beating
Your heart could not compete
I wish that you could be
Where no one's been abused
But that's what makes you superhuman

That stitched up frown tells me
You've been through hell and back
An endless cycle, retreat and then attack
It's hard to pick the pieces up
When you've been let down

Damaged, it tore you apart
You didn't wanna fight
Damaged, soft to the touch
If they could see inside (you're)
Crushed, crushed, crushed
Crushed velvet

I want to see the world
Through your quilted point of view
When you pull yourself together
We all will see the truth
You ran so long on empty
With nothing left but love
You might've come unraveled
But you're still beautiful
Damaged, it tore you apart
You didn't wanna fight
Damaged, soft to the touch
If they could see inside (you're)
Crushed, crushed, crushed
Crushed velvet

That stitched up frown tells me
You've been through hell and back
The endless cycle can stop
Yeah, there's purpose in the pain
It ties us and binds us and shows us we're never alone

Damaged, it tore you apart
You didn't wanna fight
Damaged, soft to the touch
If they could see inside (you're)
Crushed, crushed, crushed
Crushed velvet
