[Verse 1]
Love spoke my name
I felt life run through me
Reborn in the flames
Nothing can undo me
Ooh, I believe that I'm becoming
[Chorus]
So if my beauty starts to fade
Well, I've been held in a thousand ways
If my hearts looks broken in
Then I've been brave enough to live
If perfect turns to perfect mess
And all Your love is all that's left
Then I'm as real as real can be
Call me Velveteen
[Verse 2]
Shadow and light
I've learned to let them find me
Coming alive feels a lot like dying
Ooh, I believe that I'm becoming
[Chorus]
So if my beauty starts to fade
Well I've been held in a thousand ways
If my hearts looks broken in
Then I've been brave enough to live
If perfect turns to perfect mess
And all Your love is all that's left
Then I'm as real as real can be
Call me Velveteen
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
I know it's true no matter
True no matter how I feel
'Cause I'm becoming
I'm becoming real
[Interlude]
So if my beauty starts to fade
If my hearts looks broken in
[Chorus]
If my beauty starts to fade
Well I've been held in a thousand ways
If my hearts looks broken in
Then I've been brave enough to live
If perfect turns to perfect mess
And all Your love is all that's left
Then I'm as real as real can be
[Outro]
I'm as real as real can be
Then I'm as real as real can be
Call me Velveteen
