Valentine's Day
Lany Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Counted up the days
Since it went to hell and I watched you walk out
Counted up the ways
I've tried to save myself and I've kept my head down

I think it's time
To give my heart a chance
See if it's healed by now
I think it's time, I think it's time

I'm hanging out with someone else
I think they like me too
When in lust, it's hard to tell
When everything feels so new
I kissed her hips to find some help
But I know it's not the truth
No matter what I tell myself
She's not as good, she's not as good
She's not as good as you, no

There's not a day
Where the thought of you doesn't wake up with me
Gotta be a way
I could live without ya and not feel empty

I think it's time
To give my heart a chance
Even though it's bleeding
I think it's time, I think it's time

I'm hanging out with someone else
I think they like me too
When in lust, it's hard to tell
When everything feels so new
I kissed her hips to find some help
But I know it's not the truth
No matter what I tell myself
She's not as good, she's not as good
She's not as good as you

I'm fine all night
Feelings that I can't forget

I wish you were
Sleeping next to me instead
I loved the way your
Skin would feel against my chest
I pray you're not
The best that I will ever get

I'm hanging out with someone else
I think they like me too
When in lust, it's hard to tell
When everything feels so new
I kissed her hips to find some help
But I know it's not the truth
No matter what I tell myself
She's not as good, she's not as good
She's not as good as you, no (Yeah, yeah)




She's not as good as you, no
She's not as good as you

No one can compare to you


She's not as good as you
No matter how hard I try, I can't find someone as great as you

[Verse 1]
Counted up the days
Since it went to hell and I watched you walk out
Counted up the ways
I've tried to save myself and I've kept my head down

[Pre-Chorus]
I think it's time
To give my heart a chance
See if it's healed by now
I think it's time, I think it's time

[Chorus]
I'm hanging out with someone else
I think they like me too
When in lust it's hard to tell
When everything feels so new
I kissed her hips to find some help
But I know it's not the truth
No matter what I tell myself
She's not as good, she's not as good
She's not as good as you, no

[Verse 2]
There's not a day
Where the thought of you doesn't wake up with me
Gotta be a way
I could live without ya and not feel empty

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I think it's time
To give my heart a chance
Even though it's bleeding
I think it's time, I think it's time

[Chorus]
I'm hanging out with someone else
I think they like me too
When in lust it's hard to tell
When everything feels so new
I kissed her hips to find some help
But I know it's not the truth
No matter what I tell myself
She's not as good, she's not as good
She's not as good as you

[Bridge]
I'm fine all night
Feelings that I can't forget
I wish you were
Sleeping next to me instead
I love the way you're
Skin would feel against my chest
I pray you're not
The best love I will ever get

[Chorus]
I'm hanging out with someone else
I think they like me too
When in lust it's hard to tell
When everything feels so new
I kissed her hips to find some help
But I know it's not the truth
No matter what I tell myself
She's not as good, she's not as good
She's not as good as you, no

[Outro]
She's not as good as you, no
She's not as good as you

Right when I just got over this girl, LANY puts me right back at that stage. Honestly, I’ve been friends with this girl for over 2 years, and it wasn’t til later in the 2nd year when I caught feelings. After realizing how much we’ve clicked and how comfortable I was around her, she just felt so right for me. Her smile, her laugh, and pretty much all the moments we shared together, I knew this was the girl I wanted to keep close in my life. Long story short, stuff happened and things went downhill from there. We stopped talking for like a year, and I started talking to other people and somewhat made new friends because my life was, in a way, built around hers. I love my friends now, I really do, and I appreciate that they’re always there for me whenever I’m down. But for a while now, I’ve tried to forget about the bond we’ve shared in the past, and my new group of friends made it easier, but after listening to this song, nothing really compares to how I was and how I felt around her. Idk how I feel now, I guess I just miss her, and I miss how things used to be. Sorry if I’m wasting anybody’s time if they read this, this song just felt so relevant in my life, that’s all.

@Mark-hv7gy
