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
