LYRICS 
(by Charley Wu)

What do you do (Oh Lord!) 
When she don’t love you? (No she don’t) 
I’ve burned all my bridges (All of my roads) 
Set fire to my memories too (too) 

And I’ll still hold on (hold on) 
To all of your things (all of your things) 
The ashes of your beauty (of your beauty) 
Haunt my dreams 

So don’t you 
Lead me to destruction 
It happens all the time 
When you come to mind 

And I’ll climb thousands of mountains, walk deserts alone 
Brave the waves of the sea, for my sins I’ll atone 
Miss the fire in your eyes, I used to see every night 
But if there’s hope for my soul, then I’d better, I’d better go 

Leave my troubles, behind 
Cause sometimes 
There’s still love, love, love 
In your eyes 


Darling have you heard my voice 
It rings out 
Even Louder 
Than before 

By the light of the moon (full moon) 
Always there’s temptation (ahhhhhh) 
A desire to believe (to believe) 
You could lead me to salvation (ohhhhhh!) 

And I'll still hold on (hold on) 
To all of your things (all of your things) 
The ashes of your beauty (of your beauty) 
Haunting my dreams
For this song, I asked my friend Monika to help me make three illustrations.  The concept was to make (anti) Valentine’s cards that are actually truthful, with messages carrying all the ambiguity, uncertainty, and complexity of a real romantic situation.


”Be my Valentine’s” means nothing.  ”You can lead me to destruction” means a whole lot more.

- Charley
