My Purple Heart
Just down the street I tripped to my knees
It didn't hurt much, sure knew how to bleed
Boy, sit here a minute- let's see what we've got
Well, it's just an abrasion, you might have it looked at
And I'm ripe for picking; I'm branded, I'm marked
I'm up for departure"¦ when does this flight leave?
I don't really miss you when the sky is below me
I don't need to love you if I don't need to breathe
And so far so good"¦
And I'm sorry, but I'm tired now
And a good sleep is my only comfort
I'm tired now, and I'm sorry
But a good night's rest is my only friend tonight
Here lies my love- she's hardly breathing
Take my love! Take my love! Take my love and make her sing again!
And it hurts like a bitch but it's too good to lose
It's a scar worth displaying- it's my purple heart
See, the sadness is beauty and the mourning is song
The sobs in the night are the rain on the burn
And so far so good"¦
And I'm sorry, but I'm tired now
And a good sleep is my only comfort
I'm tired now, and I'm sorry
But a good night's rest is my only friend tonight
And I'm sorry I walked away"¦ cold"¦ so angry
I would have made it right had I seen you again
And I'm sorry"¦
