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
