Green Velvet
A rundown apartment
Green velvet that smells of a life that I'm running from
At first it was independence
Then it turned into loneliness
And it hurts to think what could be next
I've got to run, I can't fake this much happiness
A rose-patterned bed spread
The same one from when I was a kid and I still sleep alone in it
It may be innocence
Or maybe I just can't commit
Breakups, timing
Fantasizing
Lost in my writing
Can't get outside of my head
Stuck inside stories that no one's ever read and no one ever will
So I sit around waiting
For someone to make me
Feel that I'm worth it
Or that I deserve this
But I'm finding out lately
There's no one to save me
I'm in this alone and there's no where to go when I just need a shoulder to cry on
Hmm-mm
A wall filled with pictures
A mixture of places I've always dreamed of going to
I want to write books in Paris
Walk the streets in a little black dress
And I guess when I've thought about it
I always imagined I'd have someone to do it with
Flooded basements
Hip replacements
Pain and patience are better than waking up alone
It's time to face that I'm not meant to be on my own
And that's ok, you know
But I sit around waiting
For someone to make me
Feel that I'm worth it
Or that I deserve it
And I'm finding out lately
There's no one to save me
I'm in this alone til I stop letting go of my chance at a home with my someone
Hmmmm
Ohh
Ooo-ooh
Ohh
Ooo-ooh
Ohh
So if I commit, are you committed?
Or before I blink twice
Will you move on to someone different?
And leave me behind
Well I
I don't think I can take that risk
but it sure would be nice
To have some consistency in my life
Someone who'd love me in spite of
The things I don't like
About myself and remind me
I'm worth it at times
I don't know it so I'd
Really love it if you could stay
by my side
Stay through the night
Green velvet that smells of a life that I'm running from
