DELICATE PURPLE HEART

She got the roses I wanted.

Why’d she get the absolute best of you?

Why, why, why, why couldn't you try just a little bit harder for me?

Was I really that unworthy of some kind of love?

But you gotta be gentle, gentle with my heart.

Was it really so difficult to be gentle with my delicate purple heart?

I often wonder what we could've been if I were any normal.

But I know I lowered the bar way too low,

And funnily enough, you still stooped so far beneath it.

Honestly? For a tall guy, it is so embarrassing.

'Cause obviously, I deserved better!

Kiss me, I might run away.

Gentle, gentle, gentle with my heart,

Yeah, I’m being gentle with my heart.

She can be buried with the roses you bought her.

I think I’ll water them with your tears.

Ha-ha-ha.

Gentle, gentle, you should've been gentle... you tall boy.

Kiss me, I might run away and tell your girlfriend!

Gentle, gentle, gentle with my heart.

Feminine intuition.

Kiss me and I might just run away.

​Go ahead, tell her you kept crawling back to me!

It was so annoying, so I finally raised the bar.

Yeah, kiss me, I might tell your girlfriend.

Gentle, gentle... you should've been gentle.

With my delicate purple heart.
