Purple Tears on Chrome

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Late night Mascara on my sleeve I said I’d never fall like that Guess I lied to me Your jacket on my chair Smell of you still in the seams I’m wiping off my makeup But you’re tattooed in my dreams [Pre-Chorus] Why you always call when I’m healing Pull me from the edge when I’m leaving You say “baby, it’s not what it seems” But your echo’s the only thing that stays with me [Chorus] Purple tears on my pillowcase Dripping down in a violet haze Running from a love that I can’t erase But it stains my skin, stains my faith Purple tears in a crystal glass Sip it slow as the hours pass You were all I wanted, now you’re all that burns Every drop on the floor is a lesson I learn [Verse 2] You talk like you’re sorry But your eyes stay cold Scrolling through your secrets I see stories never told You keep me in the doorway Never let me in I’m tired of forgiving Every unspoken sin [Chorus] Purple tears on my pillowcase Dripping down in a violet haze Running from a love that I can’t erase But it stains my skin, stains my faith Purple tears in a crystal glass Sip it slow as the hours pass You were all I wanted, now you’re all that burns Every drop on the floor is a lesson I learn [Rap] Yeah, you turned my heart to a habit (uh) Pull me in close, then you vanish, tragic Got me in the mirror like “Who that girl?” Eyes all red, but they still pearl magic You played both sides of the line Double-tap lies, said you’d change this time Now my trust got a lock, no key Got a throne in my mind and it’s just for me I was riding for you, you were riding the fence Now I charge interest on my innocence All these purple tears, that’s the cost you raised But I’m rich in peace since I walked away (yeah) [Chorus] Purple tears on my pillowcase Dripping down in a violet haze Running from a love that I can’t erase But it stains my skin, stains my faith Purple tears in a crystal glass Sip it slow as the hours pass You were all I wanted, now you’re all that burns Every drop on the floor is a lesson I learn [Outro] Purple tears, let ’em fall (let ’em fall) Wash your name right off my wall I’ll paint over every bruise you gave Walk out shining in a brighter shade (ooh)
