It may be Valentine's Day, but once again, I find no love, just salt. You see, I was taught at a young age, You need to learn to love yourself before you can love anyone else. Now a boy came along one day, Made me believe in love myself. But that love left me locked in a cage, Unable to breathe, suffocating slowly, Made to feel nothing but lonely. I was trapped but not his only. Just another doll on his shelf, Not wanted and not needed, they say. And I will never have a Valentine myself. For one will ever stay. I've become dependent and needy, And it's all his fault.

I Was Used
It may be Valentine's Day, but once again, I find no love, just salt. You see, I was taught at a young age, You need to learn to love yourself before you can love anyone else. Now a boy came along one day, Made me believe in love myself. But that love left me locked in a cage, Unable to breathe, suffocating slowly, Made to feel nothing but lonely. I was trapped but not his only. Just another doll on his shelf, Not wanted and not needed, they say. And I will never have a Valentine myself. For one will ever stay. I've become dependent and needy, And it's all his fault.
