All the way from Philadelphia
 To mark the anniversary
 Of someone that I used to be
 And it feels just like theres
 A warrant out for my arrest
 Got me checkin in my rearview mirror
 And I'm always on the run
 Thats 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
 Is the thistle in the kiss
 And the burgler that can break a roses neck
 It's the tatooed broken promise
 That I hide beneath my sleeve
 And I 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 a blind and broken heart
 That sleeps beneath my lapel


 She sends me my blue valentines
 To remind me of my cardinal sin
 I can never wash the guilt
 Or get these bloodstains off my handa
 And it takes a lot of whiskey
 To take this nightmares go away
 And I cut my bleedin heart out every nite
 And I die a little more on each St. Valentines day
 Remember that I promised I would
 Write you...
 These blue valentines
 blue valentines
 blue valentines
