PURPLE AND GREY

I guess you never meant for it to end the way it did

She couldn’t take it any more, that’s why she ran and hid

You should have left her where she was and gone your own sweet way

But what you did is written in the purple and the grey

So now there’s nothing left for you to do but sit and cry

There’ll be no going back to say “I’m sorry” one more time

She’s gone where you can’t touch her… you know that’s where she’ll stay

For what you did is written in the purple and the grey

The awful price she had to pay for injuring your pride

It wasn’t nat’ral causes and it wasn’t suicide

And no amount of posturing can make it all okay

For what you did is written in the purple and the grey

You should have learned to keep it in while you were still at school

You think you’re such a tough guy but you’re not a man at all

And no one gives a shit for any words you have to say

So don’t you try to justify the purple and the grey
