Red Velvet
Essence Martins
Do you still favour red velvet?
Buy it from Lola's cafe?
Do you still sleep with your mouth open wide
Complaining of dry throat when you wake?
Now we act like we are strangers
Pretend you never held my soul
Was it so easy for you?
It wasn't easy for me
I miss you, lie awake
How it aches
Wondering if your aching too
We're suddenly strangers
Oceans apart
I hear your name and
It's breaking my heart
I know what you taste like
But not what you want
I was your favourite
And now I'm no one
No one
No one (to you)
I never buried the hatchet
Scared of the things that I want
I guess that's my force of habit always
Avoiding the ones I love
I jumped ahead far too soon
All this catastrophizing I do
We're suddenly strangers
Oceans apart
I hear your name and
It's breaking my heart
I know what you taste like
But not what you want
I was your favourite
And now I'm no one
If there is an angle
That I haven't tried
I wish you would say
So I move on with my life
I know what you taste like
But not what you want
I was your favourite
And now I'm no one
I couldn't fight for you
I couldn't lie for you
Change for you, I
Keep coming back to you
Hate that you're only a memory
We're suddenly strangers
Planets apart
I hear your name
It's breaking my heart
I know what you taste like
But not what you want
I was your favourite
And now I'm no one
