Valentine
90’s alternative rock — thick guitars, restrained verses, explosive chorus, emotional but slightly raw delivery
00:00 / 00:00
Lyrics
Verse 1
You say love like it’s a warning sign
Like something broken you can’t rewind
Your lipstick stain on a coffee cup
I drink it down, I don’t get enough
Your silence louder than what you say
Your shadow never goes away
I feel you there when the lights go low
You pull me close, then let me go
Pre-Chorus
And I don’t wanna fight this feeling
Even when it cuts me deep
Chorus
Be my Valentine tonight
Crash into me, make it right
We’re just sparks in the afterglow
Burning fast ‘cause we don’t know
If this love survives the light
So stay with me, don’t say goodbye
Be my Valentine tonight
Verse 2
Your hands shake when you say my name
Like every touch ignites a flame
We play these games we always lose
But I still come back chasing you
Your heart beats like a warning drum
I hear it calling, here I come
No perfect words, no perfect scene
Just you and me in between
Pre-Chorus
And I don’t wanna save this moment
I just wanna let it bleed
Chorus
Be my Valentine tonight
Crash into me, make it right
We’re just sparks in the afterglow
Burning fast ‘cause we don’t know
If this love survives the light
So stay with me, don’t say goodbye
Be my Valentine tonight
Bridge (quieter, distorted clean guitar)
If love’s a wound, don’t let it heal
I wanna know that this is real
No roses left, no pretty lies
Just your breath and open skies
Final Chorus (big, layered vocals)
Be my Valentine tonight
Hold me wrong, hold me tight
We’re just noise in the great unknown
Two lost hearts that found a home
If it all falls down by morning light
At least you were mine tonight
My Valentine tonight
If you want, I can also push this closer to a specific Bush era — Sixteen Stone (grittier, more sensual) vs Razorblade Suitcase (darker, heavier, moodier).
