Valentine's Day
linkin park(林肯公园) Lyrics

My insides all turned to ash, so slow
I felt a devastating sense of loss and emptiness that consumed me gradually

And blew away as I collapsed, so cold
As I fell apart, my sense of self and purpose dissipated, leaving me feeling numb and alone

A black wind took them away from sight
An overwhelming sense of grief and despair obscured my ability to see or feel anything else

And now the darkness over day, that night
The pain and sorrow I feel has infiltrated every moment of my life, leaving me in a perpetual state of darkness

And the clouds above move closer
I feel as though impending doom is always lurking, waiting to engulf me at any moment

Looking so dissatisfied
It feels as though the universe itself is disappointed with me and my inability to cope

But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
Despite my struggles and pain, the cruelty of the world never ceases

I used to be my own protection, but not now
I thought I could weather any storm on my own, but now I realize how wrong I was

Cause my path has lost direction, somehow
I feel lost and adrift, with no clear sense of where I'm going or what I'm supposed to do

A black wind took you away from sight
The loss of someone close to me has made everything unbearable and impossible to navigate

And the clouds above move closer
The weight of my grief feels like it's pressing down on me, making it hard to breathe

Looking so dissatisfied
Even the heavens seem to be judging me for my inability to cope

And the ground below grew colder
I'm surrounded by a sense of death and decay that feels inescapable

As they put you down inside
The act of burying or losing someone close to me has left me feeling empty and gutted inside

But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
Despite everything, the pain and suffering never lets up

So now you're gone, and I was wrong
The loss of someone close to me has made me realize how much I took them for granted and how much I needed them

I never knew what it was like to be alone
Without that person, I feel as though a part of myself is missing and that I'm alone in a way I never have been before

On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
Even on a day that's supposed to be about love and happiness, my grief and pain feel insurmountable

On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
The loss of someone close to me has made even the most innocuous of things seem unbearable and painful

On a Valentine's Day (I used to be my own protection)
I used to think that I could handle anything, that I didn't need anyone else

On a Valentine's Day (but not now)
But now I'm faced with a harsh reality that I can't handle everything on my own

On a Valentine's Day ('Cause my mind has lost direction
The depth of my grief and loss has left me feeling like I have no sense of purpose or direction

On a Valentine's Day (somehow)
Even on a day that should be about joy and love, I'm struggling to find anything good in the world
