## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Verse 1]

Okay

The simulation just went bad

But you're the best I ever had

Like handprints in wet cement

She touched me, it's permanent

[Pre-Chorus]

In my head, in my head

I couldn't hear anything you said, but

In my head, in my head

I'm callin' you "girlfriend," what the fuck?

[Chorus]

I don't do fake love

But I'll take some from you tonight

I know I've got to go

But I might just miss the flight

I can't stay forever, let's play pretend

And treat this night like it'll happen again

You'll be my bloody valentine tonight

[Verse 2]

I'm overstimulated and I'm sad

I don't expect you to understand

It's nothing less than true romance

Or am I just makin' a mess?

[Pre-Chorus]

In my head, in my head

I'm lyin' naked with you, yeah

In my head, in my head

I'm ready to die holding your hand

[Chorus]

I don't do fake love

But I'll take some from you tonight (Take some from you tonight)

I know I've got to go

But I might just miss the flight

I can't stay forever, let's play pretend

And treat this night like it'll happen again

You'll be my bloody valentine tonight

[Bridge]

I can't hide

How I feel about you inside

I'd give everything up tonight

If I could just have you, be mine

Be mine, baby

I can't hide (I cannot hide these feelings, no)

How I feel about you inside (I cannot hide these feelings)

I'd give everything up tonight (I'd give up everything for you)

If I could just have you, be mine (I'd give up everything)

Be mine (Ayy)

[Chorus]

I don't do fake love

But I'll take some from you tonight (Take some from you tonight)

I know I've got to go

But I might just miss the flight

I can't stay forever, let's play pretend

And treat this night like it'll happen again

You'll be my bloody valentine tonight

[Outro]

No-no-no, no-no-no

No-no-no, not just tonight

No-no-no, no-no-no

No-no-no, not just tonight

No-no-no, no-no-no

No-no-no, not just tonight

No-no-no, no-no-no (In my head, in my head)

No-no-no, not just tonight

(Were we on time? *Should we try—*)
