Άλμπουμ: Blue Valentine
She sends me blue valentinesAll the way from PhiladelphiaTo mark the anniversaryOf someone that I used to beAnd it feels just like a warrantIs out for my arrestBaby, you got me checkin’In my rearview mirrorThat’s why I’m always on the runThat’s why I changed my nameAnd I didn’t think you’d ever find me hereTo send me blue valentinesLike half-forgotten dreamsLike a pebble in my shoeAs I walk these streetsAnd the ghost of your memoryBaby, it’s the thistle in the kissIt’s the burglar that can break a rose’s neckIt’s the tatooed broken promiseI gotta hide beneath my sleeveI’m going to see you every time I turn my backShe sends me blue valentinesThough I try to remain at largeThey’re insisting that our loveMust have a eulogyWhy do I save all of this madnessHere in the nightstand drawerThere to haunt upon my shouldersBaby, I knowI’d be luckier to walk around everywhere I goWith this blind and broken heartSleeps beneath my lapelInstead, these blue valentinesTo remind me of my cardinal sinI can never wash the guiltOr get these bloodstains off my handsAnd it takes a lot of whiskeyTo make these nightmares go awayAnd I cut my bleedin’ heart out every nightAnd I’m going to die a little more on each St. Valentines dayDon’t you remember, I promised I would write youThese blue valentinesBlue valentinesBlue valentines
