We overcame, changin' lanes

Colored lights, bright and yellow-blue

Show me the love, feelin' numb

Tracks are gone, I'm in two

You dreamed a little black, dreamed a little white

A splash of colored paint won't do

So we played the pain and took a walk away

And sewed our halves back in two

If I only knew

We coulda quit the pain, and sooner overcame

No purple rain for you.

So don't you change

Don't (if I could tell you)

So don't you change (change)

Oh, baby

Don't (if I could tell you)

Don't.

You're so contagious

Like falling embers you flew

Out into orbit, now I can't absorb it

The starlight your eyes do

For all we couldn't know

The past we should've grown

Kingdom and a throne, all jewels

But the cracks were passed, still all the hope remained

And purple rain came through.

So don't you change

Don't (if I could tell you)

So don't you change (change)

Oh, baby

Don't (if I could tell you)

Don't.

Darling just remain the same

Don't let me fade away

We can't have it all

You build and I fall

So it goes

Holdin' on's kinda fake

Purple gold, purple rain

We can't have it all

No, no, no, no, no, no...

Don't you change, no...

Don't (if I could tell you)

Don't you change (change)

Oh, baby

Don't (if I could tell you)

Don't.
