You can bruise something soft
And it still looks beautiful
Velvet skin, fragile frame
Whispered lies in my name
Bruised but dressed in gold
Damage never told
Touch too hard, I'll bruise again
Velvet damage in disguise
(Underneath it's bleeding)
Soft perfection, silent cries
(No one's really seeing)
Hold me gently or I break
Every touch a small mistake
Delicate but breaking slow
Cracks that nobody will know
Soft decay behind my eyes
Beauty fading in disguise
Touch too hard, I'll bruise again!
Velvet damage in disguise
(Underneath it's bleeding)
Soft perfection, silent cries
(No one's really seeing)
Hold me gently or I break
Every touch a small mistake
Pull the thread, unravel me
Watch the softness tear at the seams
Velvet damage in disguise
(I'm still bleeding)
Every truth I sterilized
(Now you're seeing)
If I fall from this display
Let the softness fade away
