[Intro]

[Verse 1]
You C#msaid I wasn't just another Dgirl to you, a girl to use
C#mI said you don't care, you said, "I Dswear I do, I swear it's true"
So C#mhow can you just turn around and block me out?
Your Dactions don't reflect the words that left your mouth
  C#mI was right to be skeptical
Knew it was wrong from the jump and I let you know
  DBut somehow I still couldn't let you go
Guess it's not in my blood to be sensible
  C#mMaybe it was inevitable
Wish I didn't have such a sensitive soul
DWish it was somethin' that I could control
Said I should just pack up and head on the road
[Pre-Chorus 1]
           Bm7  C#m*                              D  E  
  But you reassured me that it wasn't like that
                         Bm7  C#m*                        D  E  
  Said I meant somethin' to you and I liked that
[Chorus 1]
C#m   D
'Cause if C#mI knew my worth, I would never speak to you aDgain
If C#mI knew my worth, I wouldn't even want to be Dfriends, oh, no, no, no
'Cause C#mif I stopped hittin' you up, then we'd just never Dtalk at all, talk at all
But C#mI'd still drop everything to answer my phone if you Dcalled me
But I know you woBm7n't
C#m*                               D  E  
  I thought you cared, you don't
                       Bm7  C#m*                   D  E  
  I've never known how it feels to be liked back, oh no
[Verse 2]
  C#mMaybe that's why I keep on runnin' right backD  
So C#mhere I go again, makin' up some dumb excuses
Don't know Dwhy I keep forgivin' you, I must be fuckin' stupid
[Pre-Chorus 2]
                                  Bm7  C#m*
Promise one day you gon' realize how much you're fuckin' losin'
And I Dwon't careE  
                                        Bm7  C#m*
I've been talkin' to your brother, he said that you found another girl
DHope she's everything I Ewasn't, I'm just from another world
[Chorus 2]
  C#mSo I'ma stay there
 D'Cause it's safe thC#mere
In my purple worldD  
[Outro]
  C#mI live in a purple world
Lavender highs and Dviolet lows
I started seeing purple all around me, everywhere I C#mgo
It once was just a pretty color, and then it reminded me of Dyou
Now it reminds me of something much bigger
Of the C#mthings that I can do
A fresh start, a new meaningD  
A strong vibration, a light beaming
In everything that C#mI keep seeing
In a purple world, a purple feelingD  C#m  D

C#m

So how can you just turn around and block me out?

Your actions don't reflect the words that left your mouth

Wish it was somethin' that I could control

Said I should just pack up and head on the road

C#m D

If I knew my worth, I wouldn't even want to be friends, oh, no, no, no

'Cause if I stopped hittin' you up, then we'd just never talk at all, talk at all
