I never could handle any sorrow
I never could take any pain
I only wanted one time to laugh
But now i only want to slice my purple veins

Purple veins, purple veins
Purple rain, purple veins

I only wanted to see blood from my purple veins

I never wanted to get caught up in all this sorrow
I only wanted some kind of friend
Scars, i can never tell one from another
It's such a shame the happiness had to end

Purple veins, purple veins
Purple veins, purple veins

I only wanted you to help me not cut my purple veins

Honey, I know, I know, I know times are changing
It's time we all reached out for something new
That means you too
you say you want me
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think u better close it
And let me dig into my purple veins

Purple veins, purple veins
Purple veins, purple veins...

I only want to see u, only want you to see it
the bright red blood
