Velveteen

Love spoke my name And I felt life run through me Reborn in the flame Nothing can undo me Ooh, I believe That I'm becoming So if my beauty starts to fade Well, I've been held in a thousand ways And if my heart looks broken in Then I've been brave enough to live If perfect turns to perfect mess And all your love is all that's left Then I'm as real as real can be Call me Velveteen Shadow and light I learned to let them find me Coming alive Feels a lot like dying Ooh, I believe That I'm becoming I know it's true no matter True no matter how I feel 'Cause I'm becoming I'm becoming real So if my beauty starts to fade If my heart looks broken in So if my beauty starts to fade Well, I've been held in a thousand ways And if my heart looks broken in Then I've been brave enough to live If perfect turns to perfect mess And all your love is all that's left Then I'm as real as real can be I'm as real as real can be Then I'm as real as real can be Call me Velveteen
