Velveteen lyrics

Oh little heart won't you sing to me what you want this time I feel like I can barely breathe But the air it gets in fine My body threw me out into this dream Me heart lost from my mind I was long gone till you came along Looked me right straight in the eye Now my heart is beating fast than it ever did before Like I'm running from disaster Like I'm always finding more I'm unseen like velveteen Maybe if you loved me more I'd be real so I can feel What my heart is for I wasn't sure you noticed when I came in you life You were always glowing while I was half alive What could I offer, all I know is just survive But you looked behind the curtain, you're the only one that tried Now my heart is beating fast than it ever did before Like I'm running from disaster Like I'm always finding more I'm unseen like velveteen Maybe if you loved me more I'd be real so I can feel What my heart is for Velveteen, am I seen? Is it real, just how I feel Can I trust another soul To love me back, till we grow old They threw me out Didn't you know Called me so unlovable So my heart runs, so it won't know What I lost Could you make me whole Now my heart is beating faster than it ever did before Could this be true love What I've been searching for Oh, if you love me like velveteen Maybe I'd be real once more Then I'd finally know What my heart is for
