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
