Crushed Velvet
Written by Ryan Matthew
Velvet stood alone that night
Gazing at the stars
She wanted him to be with her
She tried so very hard;
And now finds herself asleep
Her pillowcase so wet
What a beautiful time they could've shared
She hopes to win him yet

Velvet cried at school today
Yeah, a sobbing bathroom stall
Captain of the football team
Wants nothing from her at all
Yeah, now she walks to her house
Her hands so cold from the books she holds
She's so different from the others
She don't dress like she's on the cover
And her cold hands now hold a razorblade

Well he didn't deserve her anyway
He didn't deserve her anyway
And I hope he cries when he realizes she's gone
(Yeah, if he even notices)

Velvet lays so cold tonite
The darkness rests on her pretty face
A soft golden angelic flight
At least she's in a happier place
