blue in purple is the sadness of hurt
the bruises on our soul we can not avert
red in purple is the beauty of hearts
the love it takes to tear it apart
purple resided in us all
the walls we built swallowed us whole
loneliness became an old friend to embrace
the love we were given to spread was erased

the blank canvas of your heart was rainbow
blinded by your wounds, black is all you know
you were rainbow and I was blue
bled into every shade of you
seven colors, I ruined them all
you were perfectly fine behind your high walls
I had to go and climb to the top
reach for you, and now I can't stop

I just wanted to hold your hands and sink in your kiss
but your heart keeps me out when you reminisce
deeper into the grave we go as the day passes by
the past only stops bothering you when you're ready to say goodbye
"Your rock-bottom is when you decide to stop digging."
a life without your heartbeat is barely living
you keep showing me a life without you by my side
tell me you hate me, don't keep saying your hands are tied

sailors don't complain when seas are raging with storms
you got to love roses with their thorns
I'd tell you I love you if I knew you'd say it back
but I know that my world would turn back to black
so I'll keep being every shade of blue in your sky
every circle that the world makes, I'll be passing by
just open your eyes to see all the hues
live happily, I'll be your blue's

when I look at you, I know I'll never be yours
we're happy not together, so I have no remorse
a piece of my heart will always beat for your smile
everything hurts, but you make it worthwhile
loving me has always been hard, you're not to blame
there's no need to dwell in past, look at future's frame
fates failed me yet again, our stars didn't align
but to see you beam, that's my eternal sunshine.
