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

 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
