Blue valentines
To mark the anniversary of someone that I used to be
And it feels like there's a warrant out for my arrest
Baby, you got me checkin' in my rearview mirror
That's why I'm always on the run, that's why I changed my name
And I didn't think you'd ever find me here
To send me blue valentines, like half forgotten dreams
Like a pebble in my shoe as I walk these streets
And the ghost of your memory, baby, is the thistle in the kiss
It's the burglar that can break a rose's neck
It's the tatooed broken promise I gotta hide beneath my sleeve
And I see you every time I turn my back
She sends me blue valentines though I try to remain at large
They're insisting that our love must have a eulogy
Why do I save all of this madness here in the nightstand drawer
There to haunt upon my shoulders, baby, I know
I'd be luckier to walk around everywhere I go
With a blind and broken heart that sleeps beneath my lapel
She sends me my blue valentines to remind me of my cardinal sin
I can never wash the guilt or get these bloodstains off my hands
And it takes a lot of whiskey to take this nightmares go away
And I cut my bleedin heart out every night
And I die a little more on each Saint Valentine's day
Remember that I promised I would write you...
These blue valentines...
blue valentines...
blue valentines."
HAPPY CHOCOLATE AND SEX DAY, EVERYBODY
