Startin fresh, when it ends
With I hope we can be friends
But whatever that's one remedy
Nobody recommends

So I learned to let go
Took the same old different road
Cause your hand is but the one thing
that the future doesn't hold

And mama told me
Watch out for those Pennsylvania girls
With their small town smiles
Sweet as apple pie

So I'm saying so long to Valerie
Brake a glass to the time we spent
Packing up this mess of what's left with me
Off to never look back again
When I paint her face in the gallery
You will call it a work of art
Cause the best love songs
always seem to come
From the cracks in a broken heart

When we're out on the street
You're the fancy vip
To my dive bar but you'll never make
No night club out of me

So we danced, and we dined
You preferred your cheese and wine
But deserved your just deserts served after crow choked down with pride

And mama told me
Look out for those Pennsylvania girls
Singing sleepy Susquehanna lullabies

So I'm saying so long to Valleri
Count me out cause my numbers up
Yea I thought I won the lottery
But I guess it was just my luck
Yes I hope it ends in a tragedy
And the fantasy falls apart
Cause the best love songs
Always seem to come
From the cracks in a broken heart

So I'm saying so long to Valleri
She'll remember me when I'm gone
But nostalgia ain't what it used to be
So I gotta be movin on
And she said that she'll see me in my dreams
When I'm number one on the charts
Cause the best love songs
Always seem to come
From the cracks in a broken heart

[OpioidSlumber]

This is such a bad ass song and video, Matt. Love it!

[catsnotcops]

Love your drawings!! Great video and awesome choice for a single!!!

[burnettdown]

Okay now I’m actually through the song and I fucking love it. It’s a bold choice to use her name, but as far as I can tell it’s respectful! Also I fucking love a line like “nostalgia ain’t what it used to be.”

Great song, love the vid! The animation is so cool.
