Purple Heart
Embracing Imperfections: The Purple Heart Symphony
Lyrics
I'm pretty great
I have confidence in myself
At making sweet mistakes
I excel in making errors that have a positive outcome
She says
Someone (possibly a significant other) acknowledges this about me
I'm at my best
I perform well when everything falls apart
When it all comes tumbling down
Especially when things collapse and fail
To the ground
They reach the lowest point
She says
Someone acknowledges this trait in me
The way you do
Your manner when doing nothing is commendable
When you do nothing at all
Even in moments of inaction
I know
It's acknowledged and understood by the speaker
And you believe in me
There's trust and support from someone when I doubt myself
When I'm full of doubts
Even in times of uncertainty
I know
The speaker is aware of this support
It feels just like coming home
Being with this person feels familiar and comforting
To a place I've always known
It's like returning to a known and cherished place
When I find myself down and out
When I'm in a difficult situation
Fighting in the dark
Facing challenges or struggles
You've got the silver
You possess the valuable things in life
You've got the dirt
You have both the precious and the less attractive aspects
You have the Purple Heart.
You have resilience and strength despite hardships
I love your jokes
The speaker appreciates the humor of the person
That's a simple fact
It's a known truth that the speaker loves their jokes
You know
This fact is understood by the other person
And you're always waiting
You're patient and ready for things
́cause waiting is a game for the brave
Waiting is seen as a courageous act
I know
The speaker recognizes this quality in you
It feels just like coming home
Similar feeling of comfort and belonging as earlier described
To a place I've always known
Returning to a familiar and cherished place emotionally
When I find myself down and out
When faced with adversity
Fighting in the dark
Struggling in difficult situations
You've got the silver
You possess valuable qualities
You've got the dirt
You encompass both positive and negative aspects
You have the Purple Heart.
You have resilience and strength despite hardships
