There's Always Next Year by V. Blakepersonally, my love,
i blame Hallmark.
if I had spent even one Valentines Day
with my head in a book
instead of a greeting card,
i don't think we'd find ourselves
in this little predicament.
i mean, how was i to know
that they could get away
with being so grossly inaccurate
for all these years?
so baby, I'm sorry,
but i'm a little embarrassed to admit
that i was wrong to tell my friends
you were as heartless as my last girl.
apparently i was just confused
about the shape i should have found
after i drained the final drops
of blood out from your corpse.
