On Purpose

Oh

Was it symbolic a hint to your mind

Pictures of platinums that I don't look like

Did you keep me around to sing all the lines you couldn't write

Plant me a rose and watch the leaves fall

It couldn't hurt more than hitting this wall

I know when to quit and I know

It couldn't be my fault

Cause I was on my best behaviour

Kept my distance at the table

Moments gone no more to savour

Was it on purpose did you plan the attack

Words cut me deeper than stars in your hands

I never expected you to understand

Was it on purpose

Was it on purpose

Oh

Hope the shadow of your great achievement

Hides the tears rolling down my cheek as

I flip a switch before smiles start to weaken

Felt potential on my fingertips

Locking eyes to ignorant bliss

But nothing ever came of this

Nothing ever came of this

Cause I was on my best behaviour

Kept my distance at the table

Moments gone no more to savour

Was it on purpose did you plan the attack (oh)

Words cut me deeper than stars in your hands (oh)

I never expected you to understand

Was it on purpose

Was it on purpose

Comparison will rip me apart

Bury my bones in the yard

Maybe I'm not what you want

Maybe I'm not who you want

Deep down I knew I'm not the one

Let the sand fill up my lungs

Maybe I'm just too damn young

To understand love

Was it on purpose did you plan the attack

Words cut me deeper than stars in your hands

I never expected you to understand

Was it on purpose

Was it on purpose

Was it on purpose did you plan the attack

Words cut me deeper than knives in my back (oh)

I never expected you to understand (oh)

Was it on purpose

Was it on purpose

Was it on purpose

Oh
