• Your Purple Dress

    A smile used to get us so far,
    But look where we are (now),
    You’re seven days away by train,
    And I’m not one to complain (like this),

    But you haven’t been looking your best,
    In those heels and your purple dress,
    As you walk out the door,
    (Just like before),

    Please remember your forget-me-not flower we tattooed on your a**,
    After all six months later we’ll meet again in a class,
    And you must have forgotten me,
    This isn’t how it should be,

    But you haven’t been looking your best,
    In those heels and your purple dress,
    As you walk out the door,
    (just like before),

    I could have sworn that you said this would last,
    Now I’m not even worth putting in your past,
    You’re still seven days away by train,
    And I’m still not one to complain (like this),

    Can I just say you aren’t looking your best,
    In those broken heels and your stained purple dress,
    What the hell happened to you love, you’re a mess,
    I’ve been waiting but you never answer my texts,

    Four years later and we’re both out of school,
    Last I heard you were dancing on stools,
    Still seven days away by train,
    But t I won’t complain,

    It’s just that you haven’t been looking your best,
    In your slutty heels and low-cut purple dress,
    As you walk out the bar door,
    Just the same as before

    I can see you are in need of a friend,
    Someone you love and on whom you can depend,
    Girl, I’ve loved you this long, why not till the end,
    I’ve got an eager heart and hand I’m ready to lend,


    Two months later and I’m on the train,
    Another seven day trip to see you again,
    A diamond ring in my pocket and a white rose in my hand,
    It seems life is finally sticking with the plan,

    And girl can I tell you that you look the best,
    On that stage dancing in heels and a purple dress,
    As you get in the car door,
    There’s something I’ve never asked you before,

    A smile used to get us so far,
    But look where we are (now),
    Only seven more days till I’m with you by train,
    And God I’m glad I was never one to complain.
