Valentine
Who Saw Her Die? Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And As she walked alone at night
He saw her whisper
Why do I try to make things right?
Why do I shiver?

Something dark smelled regret
Something hungry something dead
Murder my
Valentine
Look into
My dark eyes

And in the lost and lonely dark
She calls out to him




Why am I hiding from the shock?
Did she delude him?
