Velvet Goodbye

Mmm… Yeah… It’s quieter now Your echo lives inside my sheets Like perfume fading in the dark I tried to wash away the memory But love left stains across my heart Your coffee cup is on the counter Lipstick ghosts along the rim Funny how the smallest moments Still feel louder without him I told myself I'd let you go But silence never felt this cold So tell me how to sleep alone When every dream still sounds like you Every midnight turns to gold Then breaks my heart in shades of blue I try to breathe a different air Pretend my soul is something new But every lonely melody Still sings a velvet goodbye to you Streetlights flicker through the window Like the city knows my pain Every shadow in this bedroom Whispers softly in your name We were fire on the water Burning slow but burning bright Now I'm dancing with your ghost In the quiet of the night Maybe love was just a moment Borrowed from another life Maybe we were never meant to Survive the morning light But God, the way you held me close Still lingers in my bones Tell me how to sleep alone When the moon still speaks your truth Every song I try to write Just falls apart inside this room I tried to learn a different heart I tried to paint the sky a new But every broken harmony Still hums a velvet goodbye to you
