Velvet Confession

[Intro – soft piano, almost whispered]
I didn’t plan to say this out loud…

[Verse 1]
The room is quiet, the lights are low
And I can feel what I shouldn’t show
All the smiles I wore like a mask
Falling apart when you ask

[Pre-Chorus]
No more games, no more show
There’s something you should know

[Chorus]
This is my velvet confession
No glitter, no disguise
Just truth in my reflection
I can’t keep telling lies
This is my velvet confession
Soft, but it cuts so deep
Every word I never said
Is finally free

[Verse 2]
I played the part, I played it well
A story I could never tell
But behind the curtain I kept closed
Was everything you never supposed to know

If I fall apart tonight
At least, it’s finally mine

[Bridge]
My heart still trembles in my hands
Afraid of what I understand
One more moment, standing still

These words are waiting in my mind
This silence left behind
Fighting every doubt I feel

[Chorus – softer, fading]
This is my velvet confession
No glitter, no disguise
Just truth in my reflection
I won’t keep telling lies
This is my velvet confession
Right before goodbye
