"Purpose" is again about delusion in a relationship I guess, in my head the protagonist of the song was broken up with and their like "well this was my plan all along." It's the equivalent of being fired and saying "You can't fire me, I quit."
lyrics
I told you a lie
For not the first or the last time
I looked you in the eye and said
that you'd always be mine
So if you're not okay
I'll take the blame
It was my full intention, this hole that you're left in
You're searching for answers but one thing that's sure is
I broke you on purpose
So don't think that you have the upper hand
You can bet from the beginning that this was my secret plan
And I might seem a little shaken,
Thrown a little bit
But I assure you that's cause I'm just surprised that you beat me to it
It was my full intention, this hole that your left in
My voice may be shaking like I'm feeling
But I broke you on purpose
