you spread your love on paper cards just one day of the year
you sing your sorrow in glass rooms where no one else can hear
while seven million widowed faces slowly fill with tears
just as painfully they replace all your hopes with fears
snowflakes fall upon your brow and quickly melt to rain
hiding tear drops from strangers, can't let them see your pain
you want to go, you want to stay, but nothing's stayed the same
lost in thought, you get lost on walks and sometimes feel insane
desperate lovers cling to each other in the winter's cold embrace
getting caught in eyes, they trace the lines that form to compose a face
tripping over lips, the tips of tongues are scraping teeth
heavy hearts of passion, the world is crushed beneath
under stars that paint silver screens onto the night
leaving memories of shaking knees and failing light
a little saint shooting arrows, we all know this to be myth
ask the twin flame soul-mate why he chose the one he's with
when paper hearts fall from February skies
turn yourself inside out and shake out all the lies
open your eyes and realize the prize of holding a love uncompromised.
