Valentine's Day
● Linkin Park Lyrics

My insides all turned to ash, so slow
I felt myself slowly break down inside until I was just a pile of ashes.

And blew away as I collapsed, so cold
As I crumbled, I felt a cold wind scatter my remains in every direction.

A black wind took them away from sight
A dark force carried my remains farther and farther away from view.

And now the darkness over day, that night
Since I fell apart, a shroud of darkness has blanketed both day and night.

And the clouds above move closer
The clouds seem to draw near, blocking out the light and casting shadows everywhere.

Looking so dissatisfied
They seem to be unhappy about something and are hanging low with a sense of foreboding.

But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
The wind doesn't care about my struggles and keeps going without any compassion or empathy.

I used to be my own protection, but not now
I used to be able to handle things on my own, but I can't anymore.

Cause my path has lost direction, somehow
I don't know which way I'm supposed to go or what I'm supposed to do with my life.

And the ground below grew colder
As I watched my loved one be put in the ground, I felt the earth chill and grow colder.

As they put you down inside
As I watched the funeral procession lower your body into the ground.

So now you're gone, and I was wrong
You're gone, and now I realize how much I took you for granted and how many times I was in the wrong.

I never knew what it was like to be alone
Without you here, I never realized the full extent of what it feels like to be lonely.

On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
On a day that's supposed to be filled with love and happiness.

On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
On a day that's supposed to celebrate the romantic love between couples.

On a Valentine's Day (I used to be my own protection)
Even though I used to be independent and self-reliant.

On a Valentine's Day (but not now)
Now I feel lost and vulnerable without you.

On a Valentine's Day ('Cause my mind has lost direction
On a day when my thoughts are scattered and I can't seem to make sense of things.

On a Valentine's Day (somehow)
Despite everything, I still wish you were here with me today.

On a Valentine's Day (I used to be my own protection
Despite everything, I still long for the days when I didn't need anyone else.

On a Valentine's Day (but not now)
But now that you're gone, I need you more than ever before.

On a Valentine's Day ('Cause my mind has lost direction
I can't seem to find my way without you, and I don't know what to do.

On a Valentine's Day (somehow)
But somehow, I'll get through this, even though it hurts so much.
