Lyrics
Purple Heart
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Through the fields of flame I ran with you
Every blow you took I took with you
I lied for you when you moved underground
And covered you as the storm of rage came down
But I will not wear you like a purple heart
I will not wear you like a purple heart
To the raging moon burning in the sun
I held on to you, you held on to no one
I followed you 'til you were out of sight
And felt the pain as the bullets took the night
But I will not wear you like a purple heart
I will not wear you like a purple heart
[Repeats, then Bono starts screaming in background
