Velvet Regret

I can't blame you for the things I've done
I take the fall, every single one
From the smallest slip to the heavy crash
I know my guilt makes me react so rash

Sometimes the need just speaks too loud
And once we cross a line, we can't turn around
I sank too low, went too deep
But I was shattered in a place you couldn't see

Nothing I say now can make it right
Some things we do stay unforgiven
But I won't pretend I'd change the night
Even with regret, I needed to be broken

Velvet regret
I wear you like velvet
Soft, warm, and suffocating
I own what I did
Velvet regret

You weren't there, he was
I don't blame you for my weakness
But crossing that line felt so good
I could lie and say I regret it all
But I won't be a hypocrite and fall again

My paper scars still bleed through
In every line, every verse, the pain shows true
But you never looked at me, not really
Your eyes were always chasing something else

Velvet regret
I wear you like velvet
Soft, warm, and suffocating
I own what I did
Velvet regret
