Blue Valentine

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, out for my arrest
 Baby you got me checkin' in my rear view mirror
 So I'm always on the run that's 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 is the thistle in the kiss
 Is the bugler that can break a roses neck
 It's the tattooed broken promise, I gotta hide beneath my sleeve
 I'm on a 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 this blind and broken heart that sleeps beneath my lapel
 And stales this blue valentines, 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. Valentine's day
 Don't you remember, I promised I would write you these blue valentines
 Blue valentines, blue valentines
