Purple Heart

(Bogi Taylor)

This is a content winner lyric of "writing in men's point of view". The story is dealing with a man who's constantly going back to his ex even though she's not treating him right. The title " Purple Heart" can be taken in two different ways; first; it's just a nice and interesting way to talk about love. Or it can be taken literally. In that case you have to know that the Purple Heart is a USA military medal given for: "Being wounded or killed in any action against an enemy of the United States or as a result of an act of any such enemy or opposing armed forces"

(Verse1) 
Momma raised me to be a good boy
"Never treat a woman like a toy"
She always said "just know your place.... 
...And then you'll find your base"

I've always lived up to it
I treated you like a queen
Though you never seemed satisfied
Maybe that's why you kept chasing other guys

(Pre-Chorus) 
I tried to understand
I tried to never mind

(Chorus) 
But we both know it wasn't right
I gave you my purple heart
But you didn't care
You broke it apart
So why should I try
To make you feel fine? 
To boost your ego
Just to let me go

(Hook) 
Just to make you feel fine? 
When all you do is breakin' my heart
Oh, my purple heart
We both know it wasn't right
To break my purple heart
Oh, my purple heart

(Verse2) 
I should've known I'm not the only one
At least I could say you pulled a gun
Then I'd have reason for staying with you
A reason for all the stupid things I do

I'm always fascinated by your smile
You make me do anythin' with your eyes
I would even die for 'em
Oh, the shape of your legs

(Pre-Chorus) 
I tried to resist your temptation
I tried to calm the frustration

(Chorus) 
But we both know it wasn't right
I gave you my purple heart
But you didn't care
You broke it apart
So why should I try
To make you feel fine? 
To boost your ego
Just to let me go

(Hook) 
Just to make you feel fine? 
When all you do is breakin' my heart
Oh, my purple heart
We both know it wasn't right
To break my purple heart
Oh, my purple heart

(Bridge) 
Every day I decide to leave you
But you got me turn around
Though I know you're gonna make a fool of me
I'm coming back every time

Every day I decide to leave you
But you got me turn around
Though I know you're gonna make a fool of me
I'm coming back every time

(Chorus) 
Even though we both know it wasn't right
I gave you my purple heart
But you didn't care
You broke it apart
So why should I try
To make you feel fine? 
To boost your ego
Just to let me go

(Hook) 
Just to make you feel fine? 
When all you do is breakin' my heart
Oh, my purple heart
We both know it wasn't right
To break my purple heart
Oh, my purple heart....

Play On Your Own

By Bogi Taylor

This is a quirky one. It relies on the subject of a breakup. It's in the woman's point of view, as she tells her boyfriend how fed up she is about his constant cheating on her. I wrote it for pure fun and I was quite satisfied with the final product.

Mit Leichtigkeit

By Javani Vito

Ein Text über das einem Widerfahrene, wodurch Verzweiflung und Kraftlosigkeit die einzigen Teilnehmer des Lebens zu sein scheinen, es jedoch irgendwo eine kleine Ecke in dem scheinbar endlosen Kreis des Schmerzes und der Angst gibt, in welcher sich ein Funke Hoffnung zu erkennen gibt, der zugleich Kraft als auch Vertrauen in die eigene Person steckt, um für das kämpfen zu können, wofür es sich lohnt.
