Lyrics of Lauren Henderson – Purple (feat. Sullivan Fortner, Dezron Douglas & Joe Dyson)

Gone are the days
Of a golden glow

Left me
With nothing to show

Since you’ve been gone
I’ve been drenched in blue

But there’s a future
In different hues

Quit the bit about the disillusion
Who’s the culprit of confusion
Not shackled by your cliche condemnations
In control of my elation

You would’ve thought
I’d be there
On my knees

Pining and praying
To be all you need

Purple with pain
I’ve been colored
with strength

Moving beyond
All those
tainted restraints

Make up your stories
Say what you need

Let yourself drown
In ambition and greed

Tell me to leave
Though I left long ago

Deafened by arrogance
Blinded by ego

Quit the bit about the disillusion
Who’s the culprit of confusion
Not shackled by your cliche condemnations
In control of my elation

Let your presumptions
Float you to sea
Love is an island
You’ll never reach
Sink as you swim
Through your evil tide
Anchored to pain
Like you never tried
