Crushed Velvet - VERIDIA

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
