Valentine's Day

It doesn't get sadder than this. I don't mean Oprah Winfrey, Movie of the Week, boohoo sad; I mean 45 yr old, comb over, ferrari, gold chain sad.

I was in a relationship that was well and truly over. And like most of us when relationships are over, I wanted to be the one who called it off first. But I wasn't. I wasn't because she did it on Valentine's Day. And who could see that coming?! So I wrote her this song. I recorded it to tape and I played her that tape. She loved the song, and left anyway :)

I'm glad, because I met my true soul mate the next year. I'm also glad I still have this song; because I kind of like it. One day, if I ever get brave, I will mp3 that tape and upload it here. That's a threat, not a promise.

Valentine

Friday night, February 14th,
Just another day to you.
I'd bet everything, that you're not even,
Thinking about me right now.
As if to say, as if to say to me,
Hey babe, you're so right.
You're just so right babe,
You come to me and say,
You say you're leaving me.
What am I supposed to say?

High school sweethearts,
Soul mates, friends for life,
Call it what you will.
But it must have been something,
And it must have meant something,
You know it must have meant something to you.
Now you say you're leaving,
You say you're leaving,
You want to walk away.
What am I supposed to say?

Not enough to give you,
Not enough to tell you,
Not enough to make you change your mind,
Enough to stay.
What am I supposed to say?

I hope you change your mind.
I hope you change your mind.
I hope you change your mind and stay,
Happy Valentine's Day.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Happy Valentine's
Happy Valentine's Day

If there're any guitarists out there, this is just a simple 2 chord progression between G9 and C9 over and over. Hey, I had limited time to come up with the melody alright? :)
