Own Valentine - Pedro The Lion

Found a new companion

But I couldn’t read the signs

Carnations and chocolate

For my first real valentine

Making her feel awful

For her plan to break it off

I knew I could shield her from hard feelings

If I could abandon mine

Passed her a note in history

Through her best friend by her side

You can’t help not liking me

I let her off the hook

Expertly erasing

How badly shook I was

Cause something heavy

Wouldn’t let me

Be my own valentine

Always on the TV

A better way to be me

Hoping someone finally sees

Well how about that best friend

Who sees me being sweet

The scorned flowers and candy

She’s delighted to redeem

While the one who loves me waits

Withering inside

Quieter than ever now

Unseen, languishing

While I chase anyone

Who even looks at me

Cause something heavy

Won’t let me

Be my own valentine
