Velvet Smoke

[Verse 1] You came in soft, like rain on glass Turned my cold nights to a softer past I had my guard up, chain on my chest But your name hit different than the rest You saw the hurt in the way I smile Held my broke heart for a little while Now I’m in your palm, trying not to fall Funny how your love can change it all [Pre-Chorus] And I know, I know Some days feel heavy But you stay close Like you already know me You touch my scars Like they were flowers Say “come as you are” And I come every hour [Chorus] Hold me close, don’t let me drift You’re my peace and my favorite risk (my favorite risk) Hold me close, I need that kiss Even the sad days feel like this (feel like this) Love me hard, then love me slow You make my black and blue heart glow (heart glow) Hold me close, don’t let me go I’m happy and hurting, but I know, I know [Verse 2] I used to love wrong, used to chase smoke Now I read your eyes like a clean note You keep it real when the room get cold You got that kind of love that makes me bold Late-night talks and the backseat prayers Your hand in mine like a promise there When I fall apart, you don’t walk away You sit in the dark and you call my name [Pre-Chorus] And I know, I know Love can be a fire But with you, I’m home Even in the rain and wire You pull me in When I’m splitting open And every “stay” Feels like my soul is soaking [Chorus] Hold me close, don’t let me drift You’re my peace and my favorite risk (my favorite risk) Hold me close, I need that kiss Even the sad days feel like this (feel like this) Love me hard, then love me slow You make my black and blue heart glow (heart glow) Hold me close, don’t let me go I’m happy and hurting, but I know, I know [Bridge] If I lose my way, be my north If I break again, be my force I’ve been smiling with a storm inside But your arms make room for the tears I hide So if forever feels like a maybe Still choose me, still save me I’ll be your light when your nights get long You be my shelter, I’ll be your song [Chorus] Hold me close, don’t let me drift You’re my peace and my favorite risk (my favorite risk) Hold me close, I need that kiss Even the sad days feel like this (feel like this) Love me hard, then love me slow You make my black and blue heart glow (heart glow) Hold me close, don’t let me go I’m happy and hurting, but I know, I know
