"Purple" lyrics
I counted all the faces that smile for a favor
Whey they're counting the paper
Why wear a mask?
What's with the disguise?
Turning off the lights
Your word just turned to lies
Then I go from blue to red
And now I'm purple
How can you hide behind the corner in my circle?
Ask me how I'm doing for a favor
Love goes for a bargain
If they smiling for the paper
And paper can be folded and forgotten
I knew that you would fold
So, I forgot you
You throw your stones and, now, I stand on higher ground
From up here, it's hard to tell, if you're standing or lying down
And I'm just purple
Tears in the ocean
The meaning runs dry
Smile for the picture
The colors don't lie
I turn from the liars
They lie and take turns
They burn for the paper
The paper still burns
I walk down the same street, where loyalty dies
Where paper will fall, but the words will still fly
You learn a few things about others
And nothing will change, until you're changing colors
Then I go from blue to red
And now I'm purple
How can you hide behind the corner in my circle?
Ask me how I'm doing for a favor
Love goes for a bargain
If they smiling for the paper
And paper can be folded and forgotten
I knew that you would fold
So, I forgot you
You throw your stones and, now, I stand on higher ground
From up here, it's hard to tell, if you're standing or lying down
And I'm just purple
They speak like they know me but don't know the cost
Close, when it's working, and gone, when it's lost
I gave them my time
They treated it light
Now, every exchange has a number and price
I've seen, how they move, when the pressure gets real
They talk 'bout their feelings, but fuck how they feel
They hear, what they want. I say what I mean
Throw words in the air, but they fall in-between
Then I go from blue to red
And now I'm purple
How can you hide behind the corner in my circle?
Ask me how I'm doing for a favor
Love goes for a bargain
If they smiling for the paper
And paper can be folded and forgotten
I knew that you would fold
So, I forgot you
You throw your stones and, now, I stand on higher ground
From up here, it's hard to tell, if you're standing or lying down
And I'm just purple
Whey they're counting the paper
Why wear a mask?
What's with the disguise?
Turning off the lights
Your word just turned to lies
Then I go from blue to red
And now I'm purple
How can you hide behind the corner in my circle?
Ask me how I'm doing for a favor
Love goes for a bargain
If they smiling for the paper
And paper can be folded and forgotten
I knew that you would fold
So, I forgot you
You throw your stones and, now, I stand on higher ground
From up here, it's hard to tell, if you're standing or lying down
And I'm just purple
Tears in the ocean
The meaning runs dry
Smile for the picture
The colors don't lie
I turn from the liars
They lie and take turns
They burn for the paper
The paper still burns
I walk down the same street, where loyalty dies
Where paper will fall, but the words will still fly
You learn a few things about others
And nothing will change, until you're changing colors
Then I go from blue to red
And now I'm purple
How can you hide behind the corner in my circle?
Ask me how I'm doing for a favor
Love goes for a bargain
If they smiling for the paper
And paper can be folded and forgotten
I knew that you would fold
So, I forgot you
You throw your stones and, now, I stand on higher ground
From up here, it's hard to tell, if you're standing or lying down
And I'm just purple
They speak like they know me but don't know the cost
Close, when it's working, and gone, when it's lost
I gave them my time

Now, every exchange has a number and price
I've seen, how they move, when the pressure gets real

They hear, what they want. I say what I mean
Throw words in the air, but they fall in-between
Then I go from blue to red
And now I'm purple
How can you hide behind the corner in my circle?
Ask me how I'm doing for a favor
Love goes for a bargain
If they smiling for the paper
And paper can be folded and forgotten
I knew that you would fold
So, I forgot you
You throw your stones and, now, I stand on higher ground
From up here, it's hard to tell, if you're standing or lying down
And I'm just purple
