Yes, St. Valentine also has a list -- and you don't get on it if you are an unfaithful lover.

lyrics

They say time wounds all heels….so maybe I got what I deserved

At least that’s how it feels….a sentence, fully served.

A faithless love my calling card….no heart I would not shatter

Each lover had to be on guard….that’s the fact of the matter


St. Valentine he struck me from his list

It’s fitting, I can’t even shake a fist

From his grace I’ve been fully dismissed

If love’s a grind, then my heart is the grist


Love is strange, and strange is love…so Mickey & Sylvia sang

A gift sent from above, but then shot down with a bang

I’m the man who fired that gun, a weapon that I concealed

I could never be “the one,” my faithlessness revealed.


To have loved and lost is still to lose, my friend

It’s now a rut, where once it was a trend

My vow was never one on to depend

How I got here I still can’t comprehend


When you read the note I never wrote on Valentine’s Day this year

Correct the spelling, there’s no telling…. about a heart’s veneer.
