we built our castle in a rented room
with neon signs that chased away the gloom
your laughter was a promise
bright and true
a future painted in a cobalt blue
oh
our blue valentine
a fading fragile art
a phantom limb
this echo of a heart
we danced where fireflies used to gleam and start
now only embers whisper in the dark
the cracks appeared like frost upon the glass
a silent question that we let it pass
the weight of morning
unspoken and vast
a love too beautiful
too frail to last
oh
our blue valentine
a fading fragile art
a phantom limb
this echo of a heart
we danced where fireflies used to gleam and start
now only embers whisper in the dark
i trace the map of memories on your skin
but the continents of us are wearing thin
that desperate tune on a motel guitar
was it a prelude
or a final scar
my blue valentine
just a ghost in the wine
a forgotten line
you were never really mine
