Velocity Girl - For the Record lyrics

It fades in time
But never goes out of the picture
It stays in the frame
Like the star of a film

I swear, I tried
I’ve told you a million times now
You want it to change so ask me again

I’ll tell you something but off the record
I didn’t even want to try to resist

Hey, you know
I don’t like to hurt your feelings
But sometimes a tongue
Has a mind all it's own

I swear, I tried
If it makes any kind of difference
The tones might’ve changed
But the image remains

I’ll tell you something just for the record
Pure and simple for too long

I know I shouldn’t say that
It sounds too doubtful it sounds so jaded

I know, no consolation no need to question
My dedication

I’ll tell you something just for the record
I couldn’t bring myself to lie
