[Verse 1]
I've heard your velvet lies a million times before (But)
When I look in your eyes, you leave me wanting more
[Pre-Chorus]
So I pick up the pieces of my broken heart, again
[Chorus]
'Cause you, you can lift me up like no one else can do, can do
But I'm gonna leave it all behind and forget you
I'd cry, but you're not worth the tears (Cry, but you're not worth the tears)
[Verse 2]
I hear a voice inside my head I've heard before (And)
And realize my dreams lay scattered on the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
So I'm not gonna waste another minute this time, this time
[Chorus]
'Cause you, you can lift me up like no one else can do, can do
But I'm gonna leave it all behind and forget you
I'd cry, but you're not worth the tears (Cry, but you're not worth the tears)
(Cry, but you're not worth the tears)
(Cry, but you're not worth the tears)
(Cry, but you're not worth the tears)
[Bridge]
Black velvet, starry skies
Don't want your velvet lies
Black velvet, starry skies
Don't want your velvet lies (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Chorus]
'Cause you, you can lift me up like no one else can do (You can lift me up), can do (When it's not enough)
But I'm gonna leave it all behind and forget you (Gonna forget you)
I'd cry, but you're not worth the tears (Gonna forget you)
(Cry, but you're not worth the tears)
(Cry, but you're not worth the tears)
(Cry, but you're not worth the tears)
(Cry, but you're not worth the tears)
[Outro]
'Cause you, you can lift me up like no one else can do, can do
