Blue Valentines

She sends me blue valentines

All the way from philadelphia

To mark the anniversary

Of someone that i used to be

And it feels just like theres

A warrant out for my arrest

Got me checkin in my rearview mirror

And i'm always on the run

Thats 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

Is the thistle in the kiss

And the burgler that can break a roses neck

It's the tatooed broken promise

That i 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

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 nite

And i die a little more on each st. valentines day

Remember that i promised i would

Write you...

These blue valentines

Blue valentines

Blue valentines
