Blue Valentines
She sends me blue valentinesAll the way from philadelphiaTo mark the anniversaryOf someone that I used to beAnd it feels just like there'sA warrant out for my arrestGot me checkin in my rearview mirrorAnd Im always on the runThat's why I changed my nameAnd I didn't think you'd ever find me here
To send me blue valentinesLike half forgotten dreamsLike a pebble in my shoeAs I walk these streetsAnd the ghost of your memoryIs the thistle in the kissAnd the burgler that can break a roses neckIts the tatooed broken promiseThat I hide beneath my sleeveAnd I see you every time I turn my back
She sends me blue valentinesThough I try to remain at largeThey're insisting that our loveMust have a eulogyWhy do I save all of this madnessIn the nightstand drawerThere to haunt upon my shouldersBaby I knowId be luckier to walk around everywhere I goWith a blind and broken heartThat sleeps beneath my lapel
She sends me my blue valentinesTo remind me of my cardinal sinI can never wash the guiltOr get these bloodstains off my handaAnd it takes a lot of whiskeyTo take this nightmares go awayAnd I cut my bleedin heart out every niteAnd I die a little more on each st. valentines dayRemember that I promised I wouldWrite you...These blue valentinesBlue valentinesBlue valentines
