Sonoak - Purple lyrics

You were the green leafed Given I am the purple tree in your front yard Overlooking your balcony And I've never felt worse, then when the world cut you down Are you just sawdust now? I could have sworn I saw you burning into ember then blowing away I didn't know you, as well as I should To me you were a picture that lasted forever, but now I can see Past what has pa**ed me I was the pa**erby In your shade for years And I paid no mind; I just smiled and walked by And I never thanked you; you were happy to watch me Am I just a shadow cast? Is it too late to ask? I want appreciation covering my body Can I be forgiven? For time didn't grant me The wisdom to know and hold myself close To flames I'm afraid of what I can't see Are you a ghost inside of me? I'm a pupil to you, and to time I should listen when you say goodbye And on the ride home I hid my tears safe in my hands I carried them in Through the door I held them before My guitar I said one last song for the man And the fact is I can't understand it And the sadness just blasted like static And like magic we were young again
