In this emotionally charged track, Dave explores the complexities of love and pain, suggesting that they are inextricably linked. The "purple heart," a symbol traditionally awarded for bravery and suffering in military service, is repurposed here to represent the scars and resilience formed from romantic battles. Through his lyrics, Dave conveys a narrative of mutual understanding and shared emotional wounds with his partner, acknowledging both the beauty and the hardship inherent in deep emotional connections. His vivid storytelling interweaves themes of loyalty, artistry, and personal growth amidst adversity, ultimately framing love as both a painful and enriching experience—a battlefield where one may emerge decorated with a "purple heart" of their own making.
Purple Heart
Lyrics
Look, let's pour another drink and numb the pain
Emotionally detached, she said, "I'm numb to pain"
You're asking what it's like to love, I told her love's a game
You learn that love is pain, then learn to love the pain
I got a purple heart, you've got a purple heart
You think my work is art, and I think you're a work of art
But girl, I can't lie
You're a gem and I ain't even talking 'bout the star sign
You're my superstar, you're my wishing to a shooting star
After hours, you're my movie star
Pop star, I've got you singing like a rock star
McCartney, she interstellar like Jupiter
You had a shift today? Cancel that
I booked a flight, let's go and catch a tan
I'll take you out to Hakkasan
You've had a couple boyfriends but never had a man
I'll catch him at a traffic jam
Red Light, Amsterdam, if he tries to disrespect
But fuck them, man, let's blow a bag in Chanel and get all them niggas vexed
On some different flow, acting like you didn't know
A nigga so Gary Coleman, I got them different strokes
You throw it back and now I'm matching your rhythm in missionary
I'm a man on a mission to make your legs shake
To make you feel it in your stomach and your chest plate
Until the next day you give me head until your head aches
I heard a saying, you get it fast, it never lasts
Forget pain, there's no club inside of a deck of cards
You gave your heart to a joker, now you can try a king
You play it close to the chest, you've got a checkered past
And a purple heart, wow, you've got a purple heart
You think my work is art and I think you're a work of art
Asked her, "Can you do it like the last time?"
She said, "I can, sir, and I ain't talkin' 'bout the star sign"
I guess it's important that you have someone you can trust
Especially in the position you're in, and um
I think it's a really good trade that you're able to find positives
Despite some of the challenges, for want of a better word, that you face
