Purple Lyrics


Such a beautiful color you wear upon your skin
And the perfect shade of purple on a flower permanent
And I'm constantly reminded of a past that never bloomed
As I sit behind these bars only silence fills the room
I've never been down this road before
As the days go by I only miss you more
I thought one day we would touch the sky
Never grow up, never gonna die
I never realized what you meant to me
Till I tried drowning out your memory
But it runs burn like it's not over
It only hurts when I'm sober
Such a beautiful color I wear upon my skin
And a perfect shade of purple on a flower permanent
And I'm constantly reminded of how I should have changed
And now I can't stop thinking about the love that slipped away

It slipped away
I've never been down this road before
As the days go by I only miss you more
I thought one day we would touch the sky
Never grow up, never gonna die
I never realized what you meant to me
Till I tried drowning out your memory
But it runs burn like it's not over
It only hurts when I'm sober
All that I ever wanted
Your all that I needed
And now I'm spending a lifetime
Drowning without you
I'm starting over and over again
Such a beautiful color you wear upon your skin
And a perfect shade of purple on a flower permanent
I've never been down this road before
As the days go by I only miss you more
I thought one day we would touch the sky
Never grow up never gonna die
I never realized what you meant to me
Till I tried drowning out your memory
But it runs burns like it's not over
It only hurts when I'm sober
I've never been down this road before
As the days go by I only miss you more
I thought one day we would touch the sky
Never grow up never gonna die
I never realized what you meant to me
Till I tried drowning out your memory
But it runs burn like it's not over
It only hurts when I'm sober
It only hurts when it's over
