Need help with broadleaf weed id

We have clumps of this stuff growing on our front lawn in a partially shaded area. It grows low to the ground so is impervious to mowing. The leaves get purplish certain times of the year; the clumps are growing slowly but choking out all the grass in their area. I don't think I've ever seen it flower. It's not ground ivy, but looks similar. We're in eastern Mass. Can anyone help ID?
