Leftover Tears From Purple Rain
I didn't really want to . . .
I didn't want to go back there . . .
I didn't want to test it
You see I still have
all of my fears
Still I couldn't help it . . .
I hit the button play . . .
And as the music started
Please God I prayed
The room turned to purple
As Prince began to play
I looked back upon the memories
Of a love I held once upon that day
As the purple rain fell in torrents
My purple tears began to fall
Now all I have to hold on to
Is the music between these walls
"I didn't want to hurt you
I didn't want to cause you any pain"
And as the tears turned into rivers
They overflow with purple pain
