Valentine's Day

This year, I thought it'd be different But there's not a hero in this world that could save an 18-year-old girl from Heartache, borne of heartbreak, one that came on way too soon But what was I expecting? Will I ever learn my lesson? I was a fool to think that things had changed But my luck in love will always be the same So on Valentine's Day, I'll be down the hall Overhearing lovers through my dorm room wall I should've known better than to let myself fall But that's okay, I'll do it again next year anyway No box of chocolates at my door, no rose petals loose on the floor The record player's popping and I can hear the people outside walking to parties Or to movies, like my roommates and my friends But tonight I had to stay inside 'cause I couldn't stop thinking about the guy Who made me a fool to think things might have changed But my luck in love will always be the same So on Valentine's Day, I'll be down the hall Overhearing lovers through my dorm room wall I should've known better than to let myself fall But that's okay, I'll do it again next year anyway I've run this circle countless times, just wondering who's next in line To run away with parts of me that they temporarily needed This romantic's getting hopeless and she's running out of steam Grasping at the straw left by the wolves who were oh so mean In spite of myself, I get caught up in it 'cause it feels so good To be wanted Just for a minute So on Valentine's Day, you'll find me down the hall Cheek against my pillow next to no one at all I should've known better than to let myself fall But that's okay, I'll get it right someday.
