Purple Rain
Radio Riddler Lyrics

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I did not intend to bring any grief upon you

I never meant to cause you any pain
I had no intentions of causing you distress

I only wanted one time to see you laughing
I wished for the chance to see you smile just once

I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain
All I wanted was to watch you enjoy life, perhaps in a beautiful and surreal manner

Purple rain, purple rain
A phrase to describe a specific event or atmosphere

I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain
I craved an image of you in a tranquil and otherworldly state

I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I had no interest in being your romantic fling, only a companion

I only wanted to be some kind of friend
I only sought a platonic relationship with you, someone to share time with

Hey baby, I could never steal you from another
I would never attempt to take you away from your current partner

It's such a shame our friendship had to end
It pains me that our bond has come to an end

Honey, I know, I know, I know times are changin'
Darling, I understand that things are evolving

It's time we all reach out for something new, that means you too
We all should explore new things, including yourself

You say you want a leader, but you can't seem to make up your mind
You desire a guidance figure, yet you struggle to make definitive decisions

And I think you better close it and let me guide you to the purple rain
I believe you should trust me to lead you to a more serene and dreamlike state

If you know what I'm singin' about up here, come on raise your hand
If you can relate to the emotions and thoughts behind my lyrics, show your support

I only want to see you, only want to see in the purple rain
Seeing you in a tranquil and mystical state is all that I wish for
