My purple heart, all red and blue

Still lingers on the thought of you

Thou it's just a little stain

I was hoping it would fade by now

Thou it's over done and said

It's heavier than lead somehow It lights a spark, leaves a residue

It burns in me, all the embers of you

It's a darkest lullaby, tucks me in but still I lie awake

'Cuz that morning sun will rise

And I hope I'm not the same as yesterday You would think that I'm okay from the outside looking in

Yes I'm hard on myself but that's just the way I am

So I put it in a box and I keep it locked away

For as long as I can

I picture you alone and you're picking up the pieces

I know I let you down

But I swear I had my reasons to let you go But I'm just stuck with this purple heart, all red and blue

Still lingers on the thought of you

I know you can't forgive but I don't want to regret

The life I would have lived if I didn't say the things I said I'll surrender to this purple heart

It's no longer pumping red, this purple heart

The darkest shade of blue, this purple heart
