Love spoke my name
And I felt life run through me
Reborn in the flames
Nothing can undo me
Ooh, I believe that I'm becoming

So if my beauty starts to fade
Well, I've been held in a thousand ways
If my heart 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

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

So if my beauty starts to fade
Well, I've been held in a thousand ways
If my heart 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

I know it's true, no matter
True, no matter how I feel
'Cause I'm becoming
I'm becoming real

So if my beauty starts to fade
If my heart looks broken in

If my beauty starts to fade
Well, I've been held in a thousand ways
If my heart 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

I'm as real as real can be
Then I'm as real as real can be
Call me Velveteen
