Valentine

You didn't see my valentine
I sent it via pantomime
While you were watching someone else
I stared at you and cut myself
It's all I do cause I'm not free
A fugitive too dull to flee
I'm amorous but out of reach
A still-life drawing of peach
I'm a tulip in a cup
I stand no chance of growing up
I've made my peace, I'm dead, I'm done
I watch you live to have my fun
I root for you, I love you, you -you-you-you
I made it to a dinner date
My teardrops seasoned every plate
I tried to dance, but lost my nerve
I cramped up in my learning curve
I'm a tulip in a cup
I stand no chance of growing up
I'm resigned to sail on through
In the wake of tales of you
I root for you, I love you, you, you, you, you
