Last valentines
pinkpantheress Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I crashed my car right into a tree
I'd risk my life for a chance you'd come back to me (yeah)
You called 999 then left me to bleed
I know you'd never cause an accident for me

I'll count the stars tonight

So last Valentine's, you spent it away
To be with a girl you said you never saw that way
It hurts now to smile, it hurts more to breathe
It makes me so angry all I do is grit my teeth

I still let this man take over me
But I know that I'm not the one it should be
I should really take some time instead
To figure why this plays out again and again





I'll count the stars tonight
Whoa, whoa, whoa (night)

In the chorus, the singer expresses their loneliness by saying that they will count the stars tonight, implying that they will be alone and unable to sleep. The second verse reveals that the lover spent the last Valentine's Day with someone else, causing the singer pain and anger. Despite knowing that they are not the one the lover should be with, the singer is still under the lover's spell, unable to break away. The song ends with the same chorus as before, emphasizing the singer's isolation.


Overall, "Last Valentines" is a poignant and relatable song about unrequited love and heartbreak. The powerful imagery of the car crash and the repeated refrain of counting the stars help to paint a vivid picture of the singer's emotions.

[Verse 1]
I crashed my car, right into a tree
I'd risk my life for a chance you'd come back to me (Yah)
You called 999, then left me to bleed (Left me to bleed)
I know you'd never cause an accident for me (Me, me, me, me, me)

[Chorus]
I'll count the stars tonight ('Night, 'night, 'night, 'night, 'night)

[Verse 2]
So last Valentines (Last Valentines), you spent it away (Spent it away)
To be with a girl you said you never saw that way
It hurts now to smile, it hurts more to breathe
It makes me so angry all I do is grit my teeth
I still let this man take over me
But I know that I'm not one it should bΠ΅
I should really take some timΠ΅ instead
To figure why this plays out again and again

[Chorus]
I'll count the stars tonight ('Night, 'night, 'night, 'night, 'night)
Woah, woah, woah

these songs always make me feel nostalgic as if i've heard them years ago

@tanayyy2875

Yes because the guitar sample you are hearing in the background is sampled from 'Linkin Park - FORGOTTEN'. Made me feel same way too. Her producer is really genius the way they sample older songs!

@yeokonma

boy what the hell boy 😺

Reminds me of sixth grade watching Michele Phan videos as I practiced my makeup. Listening to Imogen Heap and Late Night Alumni

Who else noticed the Linkin Park sample?? It’s from their song Forgotten. She used to play in a My Chemical Romance cover band as well. I love that some of her influences are post grunge - alternative. Keeping the genre alive for future generations!

@WastedYouth89r
