(Billy Dean/J.D. Souther)

If I had a million hearts
I'd save the best for you
All I have is this one sad heart
Not quite torn in two
It's not exactly damaged goods
It's not exactly new
But this purple heart is true

Well, I have been the one to leave
And I have been left too
But still I wear it on my sleeve
Can't hide what we've been through

'Cause we have been in love and war
We've got the scars to prove
That this purple heart is true

I will love you honestly
Tell me what else could I do
'Cause this purple heart is true

You may find a heart of gold
Beneath this black and blue
'Cause this purple heart
This purple heart is true
