Another Empty Valentine

Another empty Valentine
that says I'm yours and you are mine.
My confidence has gone away.
It's too much work to find somebody else so I'll stay.

I can't remember when it died.
I can't relight my love I've tried.
I'm not sure it was there at all.
I don't know if that feeling matters much anyway.

We're both in need.
Too kind to leave.
It's not perfect, but no relationship is,
so we'll keep on walking down this road until it ends.

Loneliness is hard to take.
More painful than a quick heartbreak.
Perhaps one of us will escape.
Perhaps is better to await that fateful day.

But all the same my love is there.
It's not a passion but a care.
You're such a giant part of me.
I know that I'm a giant part of you so let's see.

We're both in need.
Too kind to leave.
It's not perfect, but no relationship is,
so we'll keep on walking down this road until it ends.

I liked it when we used to kiss,
have sex and other things I miss,
and when I feel unloved and low
you give me everything you're able and I know.

We're both in need.
Too kind to leave.
It's not perfect, but no relationship is,
so we'll keep on walking down this road until it ends.
