From the recording Velvet Hammer
I keep my phone and notebook by the bed. Just cause you never know when the music will strike. This song came late one night. I sat up and wrote it and sang it into my phone. The next morning I thought…wait… I think I wrote a song. I have all lyrics and chords on one page with almost no cross outs. It doesn’t happen like that very often but it sure is nice when it does.
Lyrics
Let me just say this
Leave me more that just the memory of your kiss
Before my eyes are open
I know I’m alone face’n the morning
I’m not big on second chances
I admit it
Not gonna put up a fight
If I’m outta mind now that I’m outta sight
Leave me
one purple rose
And baby I’ll know
If you leave, me one purple rose
You’re the one,
you’re the one,
you’re the one
That gets me
red, well that’s been so over done
And white well we know that’s not the one
Pink is soft and oh so sweet
But I want something that’s just you and me
So leave me
I’ve always been a little different
It’s been a blessing and a curse
Lately I’ve been alone so much
It kinda hurts
Ohh
