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 is out for my arrest
Baby you got me checkin in my rearview mirror
Thats why I'm always on the run it'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 its the thistle in the kiss
Its the burglar that can break a rose's neck
Its the tatooed broken promise I gotta hide beneath my sleeve
I'm gonna see you every time I turn my back
Oh you send 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 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 and broken heart
That sleeps beneath my lapel
Instead 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 these 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
