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 there's a warrant Is 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 didnt 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 And the burgler that can break a roses neck Its 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 Theyre 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 Id be luckier to walk around everywhere I go With this blind and broken heart That sleeps beneath my lapel
Still these 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 this nightmares go away And I cut my bleedin heart out every night And I'm gonna die just a little more on Each st. valentines day Don't U remember I promised I would Write you... These blue valentines Blue valentines Blue valentines
