We're gasoline and fire
A blessing and a curse
If you wrote us down on paper
You'd swear we'd never work
You'd swear we'd never work
You're nothing like I dreamed
Oh and everything I need

In a crazy world
Coming all apart
You're my cover you're my lover you're my purple heart
When there's no one left telling me the truth
And I feel there's nothing real there to hold on to
When I'm way off track
When I hurt like that
You love me back

Like a magical oasis
I could drink until I drowned
You're the answer to a question when no answers can be found
You turn it all around
You take away my shame
And love me through the pain

In a crazy world
Coming all apart
You're my cover you're my lover you're my purple heart
When there's no one left telling me the truth
And I feel there's nothing real there to hold on to
When I'm way off track
When I hurt like that
You love me back
You love me back
You make it all make sense
You take this man
When I don't think I can
And make me all right again

In a crazy world
Coming all apart
You're my cover you're my lover you're my purple heart
When there's no one left telling me the truth
And I feel there's nothing real there to hold on to
When I'm way off track
When I hurt like that
You love me back
