Lyrics

This is a snippet of some of the lyrics to the single. For the full lyrics from Skin's official site, see here

Verse 1 and 2

  Purple washes over me
  Seeping through my open seams
  I’m stained all over
  
  You pretend we’ve started again
  Waiting for me to say when
  But I say purple

Chorus

  She won’t go
  Where I
  I would go for you
  I’d curse my heart
  For you
