Well, I find that, more often than not, my simple mind operates towards people with reference to song, so here goes...

She sends me blue valentines
All the way from Philadelphia
To mark the anniversary
Of someone that I used to be
And it feels like
A warrant set out for my arrest
Baby you got me checkin in my rearview mirror
Thats why 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
Baby its' a sizzle and a kiss
Its' the burgler that can break a roses neck
It's the tatooed broken promise
I gotta hide beneath my sleeve
I'm gonna 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 this blind, broken heart
That sleeps beneath my lapel...instead

She sends me 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 whole lot of whiskey
To make these nightmares go away
And I cut my bleedin heart out every nite
I'm gonna die just a little more each St. Valentines day
Don't you remember I promised I would
Write you...
These blue valentines
blue valentines
blue valentines


Thanks go out to:
