This is Skin 'purple'
- one thing i always found interesting about her lyrics was the way the perspective shifts between the two people involved in the song. Between the cheater & the cheated, between the one who gives & the one who takes. Both the lover & the fool - and so we cry with a tinge of anger, and we shout with a thread of forgiveness.
Purple washes over me
Seeping through my open seams
Im stained all over
You pretend weve started again
Waiting for me to say when
But I say purple
[Chorus]
She wont go
Where I
I would go for you
Id curse my heart
For you
Silence makes a girl talk fast
Speeding but Im gonna crash
And burn for loves sake
Duty keeps a lover loyal
(But) is it really worth the spoils
When I dream purple
