Purple Heart

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
