Blue Valentines

she sends me blue valentines
all the way from philadelphia
to mark the anniversary
of someone that i used to be
and it feels just like there's
a warrant out for my arrest
got me checkin' in my rearview mirror
and i'm always on the run
that's why i changed my name
and i didn't think you'd ever find me here
to send me blue valentines
like half forgotten dreams
like a pebble in my shoe
as i walk these streets
and the ghost of your memory
is the thistle in the kiss
and the burgler that can break a roses neck
it's the tatooed broken promise
that i hide beneath my sleeve
and i see you every time i turn my back
she sends me blue valentines
though i try to remain at large
they're insisting that our love
must have a eulogy
why do i save all of this madness
in the nightstand drawer
there to haunt upon my shoulders
baby i know
i'd be luckier to walk around everywhere i go
with a blind and broken heart
that sleeps beneath my lapel
she sends me my blue valentines
to remind me of my cardinal sin
i can never wash the guilt
or get these bloodstains off my hands
and it takes a lot of whiskey
to take this nightmares go away
and i cut my bleedin heart out every nite
and i die a little more on each st. valentines day
remember that i promised i would
write you...

If There's Any Justice

If there's any justice in the world,
I would be your man,
You would be my girl,
If i'd found you first you know its true,
He would be alone,
I would be with you.
When you decide, dont let me down,
Coz there's nothing to be certain in my life,
And you've seen a thousand times
There's not much justice in the world
If there's any justice in your heart,
You love really changed,
Ease it into heart,
Why dont you remember how it feels,
Not to give a damn,
For anyone but me
I cant believe you'd be decieved,
Changing memories from truth to fantasy,
Where there's nothing left but tears,
there's not much justice in the world
Just because he's wrapped around your finger,
Don't fool yourself with dreams that might appear,
everytime you'll stop and trust your feelings,
The truth is out there somewhere
It's just blowing in the wind
If there's any justice in the world,
I would be your man,
You would be my girl,
If i'd found you first you know its true,
He would be alone,
I would be with you,
When you decide, dont let me down,
Coz there's nothing to be certain in my life,
And you've seen a thousand times
There's not much justice in the world
If I should lose you girl you know,
That theres not much justice in the world

James Blunt - If There's Any Justice (Acoustic)

''The Ones'' We Love

the mind has so many pictures

why can't i sleep with my eyes open

the mind has so many memories

can you remember what it looks like when i cry

i'm trying, trying to tell you

all that i can in a sweet and velvet tongue

but no words ever could sell you

sell you on me after all that i have done

i'm only the one you love

am i only the one you love?

the lady gloom and her hornets circling round

is now before us, the screaming's done without moving

one little move and for sure you will be stung

i'm singing "oh, jerusalem oh, jerusalem

see what he's picked up in the park"

let's fuck this awful art party

want you to make love to me and only to me in the dark

i'm only the one you love

am i only the one you love?

we've traded in our snap shots

we're going through the motions

into the view, i'm leaving you

down conduit avenue into the early morning

into the early morning

the one i love

are you only the one i love?

the one you love
