lyrics

I don't like roses
I like chocolates way too much
Regret when I finish off the box
And Hallmark cards just end up in the trash
That kind of sentiment can’t last

These are things you already know
When you've lived this long with someone
There's little left to be exposed
But still a secret hangs in the air
It’s not something we want
To share
I may be dressed up
But I’m a messed up Valentine
A messed up Valentine

I used to wonder
Why anyone would quit
After hanging in for so long
But some situations you must experience to get
And then the light goes on

These are words I barely can say
But after all this time together
I cannot look the other way
Whatever I do hearts are at stake
An unbearable choice
To make
Now that I’ve ‘fessed up
I’m still a messed up Valentine

So how’re we gonna spend this holiday
It’s probably our last
We should put our party clothes away
And hold on to each other, hold on to the past

These are tears that were waiting to fall
There’s only so much holding on
The brakes are shot, we’ve hit a wall
Not every patient can be saved
We gotta give up the ghost
Be brave
We gave our best up
I’ll always be your messed up
Valentine
