Fiyablasta - Purple Hearts Lyrics

Mike was a bright one in senior class
Saving himself for the right one, then seen her pass
"Denise can be my wife, son, if we can last"
That's all that crossed his mind once he seen her past
"Them others don't treat her right. I'll be her knight
In the shining armor. No one else will harm you"
The boy's such a charmer. His intent could never be cruel
But he knew how difficult it'd be if he broke the rule
Don't do it! Reconsider! Read the liter-ture
On the subject, but proceeded to cut it
And the repercussions were something like opening to the public
Into an unfinished structure; it's not safe
But it's too late. They're on a cracked foundation
Of lust before love with little hesitation
And poor preparations. He said he don't regret it
But she could smell the doubt and hear him contemplating
She's thinking
Tell me, babe, why you got to lie to me
Saying, "I'd never hurt you"
Under fire; didn't know it was friendly
Now I sport a purple heart
Heart still healing from long ago
Denise's heart beating for young Michael
She liked him back when they were sitting in math class
That passed and feelings multiplied when they grabbed hands
She always flirted cause she knew that he'd be flirting back
And when she hurting, he'd comfort her and get her to laugh
So when that moment came, she thought, "This was it." and gave his lips a kiss
"I've never had a feeling this intense!"
He told her that, "You know that I am living by the Good Book
But I don't think I can wait longer when you're looking this good"
Took her by surprise, "Are you sure? I know how much this means to you
Even though having someone like you is my dream"
Yet, they proceeded. The feeling's amazing
Until that evening, uneasy conversation
Then separation; he's on vacation
While she's talking about relocation
He's thinking
Tell me, babe, why you got to lie to me
Saying, "I'd never hurt you"
Under fire; didn't know it was friendly
Now I sport a purple heart
Hearts intertwined, cause they stayed on the line
Folks like, "Why you always on the phone all the time?"
Michael wants to hide it like he's undecided
Denise has the momma's side of the family excited
Her dad rioted but still let her move back
And Mike's trip ended so they got their groove back
But tensions always grew when attention
Was brought back to the phrase "me and you"
She wants to say us and we "Cause I know this ain't just a fling"
He like, "You right, and I can see a future together
But it's too soon for me and you to settle
We ain't in a stage to play that role
We ain't that old. I can't afford a place to go
Start the family you want. We ain't ready for that junk"
She jumps in to say, "That isn't what I want
Immediately, but sweetie, please!
All I'm saying is I want you to be with me"
Mike replies, "True. Me too
But this relationship is slowly eating two
Hearts apart; and that's me and you"
Tears fall as they see the truth
"We're fighting for a love that's so uncouth
We're the troops, we both discharged 'fore we reached a truce"
So they sing
Tell me, babe, why you got to lie to me
Saying, "I'd never hurt you"
Under fire; didn't know it was friendly
Now I sport a purple heart
I seen the turmoil and pain
Love brings when the love's in the wrong hands
Moving too quick so they can't friends
Once that bridge burns in passion's flames
Then another sad song's in the books
While the brokenhearted sing the hooks
Cause they say it's better to have loved and lost
But no one talks about the ones discharged
Purple hearts for the wounded soldiers
Who never listened to the ones before you
Who warned you
That prisoners of warring feelings is simply torture
So human, yet inhumane
So you can get in no pain
By listening to me don't enlisting
Unlike all those purple hearts
