Lonely nights up in my room, yeah
I got like this because of you, yeah
She was red and I was blue, yeah
The color purple ain't for you, yeah
Times are tough and I can tell, yeah
You ain't the same and I can tell, yeah
But I hope you're doing well, yeah
Put me through heaven and through hell, yeah
I call her when I was lonely
She tries to call up my homies
You didn't care if you showed me
You act like you don't know me
Sometimes I feel you're below me
I'm moving fast and you're moving slowly
I saved her just like a goalie, yeah
You left me on read
You never read the thoughts that went in my head
When I'm in bed, I think of all the pain that you caused me
You said, "What was the intent
Was it to leave me for all the rest" (all the rest)
And you know I can do better, baby
I was trapped and you were my escape
Now I'm wishing for some better days
But the feelings, well, they always stay
I had a life with loneliness and one filled with pain
There was a time where I felt I had one nothing to gain
I had feelings of darkness and I had some full of shame
I got used to waking every morning and seeing your face
I used to paint up all the pictures and you were the frame
You ended things when we started picking up all the pace
When I asked you why you did it, you said you can't explain
You pulled the plug on this love, now I'm always drained
I miss the lonely nights with you, yeah
I felt the love because of you, yeah
You were red and I was blue, yeah
Can't spell us without a you, yeah
You took more than my sweater
I like to change for the better
You change your mood like the weather
She took my heart and I let her
Sometimes it's hard to forget her
She was a book and I read her
I was paper, she the shredder
I've got you on my mind
I hate myself for always tryin'
It hurts me that this was a lie
You left 'cause I was always right
It's harmful, no, it's not benign
Just wanna always call you mine
But now I keep that all behind
Lonely nights up in my room, yeah (in my room, yeah)
I got like this because of you, yeah (because of you, yeah)
She was red and I was blue, yeah (I was blue, yeah)
The color purple ain't for you, yeah (ain't for you, yeah)
Times are tough and I can tell, yeah (oh, I can tell, yeah)
You ain't the same and I can tell, yeah (oh, I can tell)
But I hope you're doing well, yeah (you're doing well)
Put me through heaven and through hell, yeah
