Gold Card Heartbreak
Track 19 of Velvet Altitude
[ Lyrics ]
Swipe that gold card heartbreak clean. Swipe that gold card heartbreak clean. Black Amex hummin’ in my coat, tryna numb the sting, bought a dress I’ll never wear just to feel like a queen. The driver knows the spot, skips the lobby scene, paparazzi flash like memories I’d rather not see. You said we’d last through seasons, baby, you were wrong— I’m collectin’ cities, you’re stuck in old songs. Plastic heals no feelings, but it kills the pain, so I’m splurging on silence, drippin’ in champagne. I know it’s shallow, yeah, I know it’s fake, but these price tags speak when my voice won’t break. You left me echoes in a penthouse suite— so I’m tradin’ tears for designer heat. Swipe that gold card heartbreak clean, burn the receipts where you once had been. Five-star exits, no last glance, love don’t last—just charge it to romance. Swipe it again, don’t owe you a thing, diamonds dancin’ where your name should ring. Dinner for one at ten thousand feet, personal sommelier pourin’ out defeat. Sent you back the scarf you loved, kept the private jet, irony tastes better when it’s paid in debt. Your texts feel like invoices, I don’t sign my name, I’m redecoratin’ the soul you claimed. New bag, new city, new attitude, but your ghost still shows up in the mood. I know it’s foolish, know it’s not real, but power’s in the purchase when emotions steal. No refund on love, but I’ll make it rain— buy myself the peace you couldn’t explain. Swipe that gold card heartbreak clean, burn the receipts where you once had been. Five-star exits, no last glance, love don’t last—just charge it to romance. Swipe it again, don’t owe you a thing, diamonds dancin’ where your name should ring. Loyalty points for loneliness, miles high, no signs of less. Every splurge’s a small revenge, a mirror where I learn to mend. Swipe that gold card heartbreak clean, burn the past where it can’t be seen. Champagne wishes, no more plans, I’m the cost you’ll never understand. Swipe it loud, let the whole world see— I’m richer now you’re not part of me. Swipe… swipe… Yeah, I’m clean. Gold card heartbreak… wiped the screen.
