Purple Heart Paper Weight Songtext
von Red City Radio

My grandfather lost his knee in the war
He never bothered to tell the story before
The memories were painful
So I let it go
He got older, his blood started to thin
He′d shrug his shoulders
He didn't know where to begin
With snow falling on bodies and slowly freezing?
I never thought that I would sing along to all the songs I hated
What′s left for you and I if all of the remains are unrelated?
It's not affecting me
'Cuz I never kept them anyway
Driving faster
There′s not a second to waste
I court disaster with every turn that I take
I know I shouldn′t be driving
But I'm on the road
My grandmother never shed a tear
She told me stories of how she used to cower in fear
From fists raised in anger and drunken beatings


I never thought that I would sing along to all the songs I hated
What′s left for you and I if all of the remains are unrelated?
But it's not affecting me
′Cuz I know I loved him anyway
And God knows he loved me anyway
When you think about it
It's not affecting me
′Cuz I know I loved him anyway
And God knows he loved me anyway
And tonight I know this man is dead and gone
I'm in his chair listening to all his favorite songs
Because the man I lost, the man I knew before I ever learned
That he had fires to light and bridges to burn
I never thought that I would sing along to all the songs I hated
What's left for you and I if all of the remains are unrelated?
It′s not affecting me
′Cuz I know I loved him anyways
And God knows he loved me anyway
When you think about it
It's not affecting me
′Cuz I know I loved him anyway
And God knows he loved me anyway
When you think about it
It's not affecting me
When you think about it
When you think about it...
