Vincent Vale - Black Velvet Heart

Vincent Vale is a reclusive modern crooner from the American Southwest. He writes songs that feel like they were lost in time — big, cinematic love songs about fate, longing, and choosing the same person across lifetimes. Quiet in person, explosive on record. You can find his first album on Spotify or Apple Music https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/albu...   / hung-up-on-you   She looks at me like I’m salvation, like I hung the morning star But I know the shadows living deep inside this heart I’ve got a restless devil whispering, “You’ll only bring her pain” A velvet black horizon where the sunshine turns to rain Black velvet heart, can it ever love her right? Can a man like me hold steady through the night? Am I strong enough to keep from breaking what is pure? Or will this darkness in me leave her bruised and insecure? She deserves the kind of heaven that I’ve never learned to give Gentle words and steady hands, not the storms I tend to bring I could walk away tomorrow, save her from the man I am But every time she smiles at me, I forget my exit plan Black velvet heart, can it ever love her right? Can a man like me hold steady through the night? Am I strong enough to keep from breaking what is pure? Or will this darkness in me leave her bruised and insecure? Oh-oh-ohhh… tell me, darling, am I worth the fight? Can my love be strong enough to keep the dark from stealing light? If I stay, will I destroy the best thing in my life…? Black velvet heart, don’t you dare tear her apart I’m begging for the courage to protect her from the start If my love is true then let it burn the darkness down Black velvet heart… don’t let me let her down
