Truth be told, I’ve never particularly minded nor celebrated Valentine’s Day. I’ve enjoyed the artifice of it all – the red and pink and flowery doily aspects – but the day itself, coming as it does in the heart of winter, didn’t change my life in any way. For some, though, this day can be harsh and unpleasant – a reminder of love when maybe all they really want to do is forget about such madness. This collection of links is for those sensible folks (and for anyone who loves Madonna).
Love is a bird, she needs to fly. Let all the hurt inside of you die.
Yet you never do anything to make me want to stay.
You need so much but not from me, turn your back in my hour of need.
I won’t recall the names and places of each sad occasion, but that’s no consolation here and now.
Deep in my heart I’m concealing things that I’m longing to say…
Your heart is not open so I must go. The spell has been broken, I loved you so.
In my heart, I know we’ve come apart, and I don’t know where to start.
Don’t explain yourself cause talk is cheap.
Don’t play with something you should cherish for life.
Somehow I destroyed the perfect dream.
I’ve been on that ledge before, you can’t hide yourself from me.
When I let loose the need to know, then we’re both free, free to go.
Hold me in your arms until there’s nothing left.
It can’t be fun to always be the chosen one.
You took my love for granted, why, oh why – the show is over say good-bye.
If this is the end then let it come.
I’ll cast a spell that you can’t undo ‘til you wake up and you find that you love me too.
