Soft touch

Sharp edge

That’s usually how it starts

You don’t kick the door down

You just leave it open wide

Never say you want me

You just stay here every night

Your jacket on my floor again

Your shadow moving on the wall

Nothing here looks dangerous

That’s the dangerous part of all

You don’t leave a bruise

Where anybody sees

You just make a little room

Then take the air from me

Velvet damage

Soft enough to let you in

Velvet damage

Never notice where it begins

No broken glass

No warning signs

Just your hands

And too much time

Feels so good

Until it doesn’t

Velvet damage

Slow

Slow

That’s how it gets you

You know every quiet trick

Never ask for anything

Make me think I chose the fall

While you’re underneath it all

Coffee cold at half past three

Your fingerprints across my sleeve

Maybe love should make a sound

Why’s this one so hard to leave?

You never say forever

That’s what makes it worse

Nothing here to hold onto

Nothing here to curse

Velvet damage

Soft enough to let you in

Velvet damage

Never notice where it begins

No broken glass

No warning signs

Just your hands

And too much time

Feels so good

Until it doesn’t

Velvet damage

Don’t say sorry

You never lied

You just let me build the story

While you stood outside

Don’t say love

Don’t say friends

Some things don’t need a name

To leave a mark when they end

Maybe I knew

Maybe I stayed

Maybe soft things

Cut both ways

Maybe nobody did this to me

Maybe I just wanted

Something dangerous

To feel gentle

For once

Velvet damage

Still underneath my skin

Velvet damage

I know exactly where you’ve been

No screaming match

No grand goodbye

Just empty space

On your side

Felt so good

Until it didn’t

Velvet damage

Funny

It never looked like a wound
