Velveteen

Oh little heart won't you sing to me what you want this time
I feel like I can barely breathe
But the air it gets in fine
My body threw me out into this dream
Me heart lost from my mind

I was long gone till you came along
Looked me right straight in the eye
Now my heart is beating fast than it ever did before
Like I'm running from disaster
Like I'm always finding more

I'm unseen like velveteen
Maybe if you loved me more
I'd be real so I can feel
What my heart is for

I wasn't sure you noticed when I came in you life
You were always glowing while I was half alive
What could I offer, all I know is just survive
But you looked behind the curtain, you're the only one that tried

Now my heart is beating fast than it ever did before
Like I'm running from disaster
Like I'm always finding more
I'm unseen like velveteen
Maybe if you loved me more

I'd be real so I can feel
What my heart is for
Velveteen, am I seen?
Is it real, just how I feel

Can I trust another soul
To love me back, till we grow old
They threw me out
Didn't you know

Called me so unlovable
So my heart runs, so it won't know
What I lost
Could you make me whole

Now my heart is beating faster than it ever did before
Could this be true love
What I've been searching for
Oh, if you love me like velveteen

Maybe I'd be real once more
Then I'd finally know
What my heart is for
