St. Valentines (Lyric Video) - Madds Buckley

Madds Buckley’s original song “St. Valentines”

Written and performed by Madds Buckley


[Lyrics]

I wrote you a week before St. Valentine
Wondering if you regret giving up on being mine
Too much to drink, lighting cigarettes, I’d think:
Oh my mistake, I loved you a year too late

You sent me cards that you made and printed out in your room
They came in the day after I said I never loved you
I dug through the trash, trying to get them back
No my mistake, I was a year too late

Oh you told me you were too much like your mother
Always terrified of the fire of a lover
And I’d be lying if I told you I was not absurd
Thinking you would come back after I burned you

A missed call from you a day before St. Valentines
I cried tears of joy and called you back to apologize
You’d torn up my letter, unread, “a misdial” you said.
No, my mistake, I loved you a year too late.

this is genuinely one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard. it hurt my heart in the best way possible and you did an amazing job on this <33

[lynnthewaffle]

the missed call part was sickening. youre taken through this long song of regret, of being too late and then suddenly- you're given a second chance. and with so much hope you call them back and- ah. yeah. duh. there is no second chance, since the start it was already made clear that you were too late and you shouldn't believe you'd get a second chance. but you still believed it and got your hopes crushed.

oUch

[lorraine]

it's the day after valentines and here I am... I was listening to this last night, and it just breaks my heart. Yet, it is so beautifully made, so I stayed and listened. again. Thank you Madds Buckley, you understand, you know how it feels. Thank you so much.

[olixqs._]

The part for the miss call makes me absolutely shiver in goosebumps and heart ache. Thinking how you think that after so much regret and the last inches of hope you have.. Nope! They just accidentally misdialed your phone number and you thought that they called you for valentine’s day for a second chance.. But instead they just made a simple.. *mistake*


And the part before the instrumental… OMFG. TEARS. “You told me you were too much like your mother.. Always terrified of the fire of a lover.. And I would be lying if I told you, I was not absurd. Thinking you would come back.. after I.. burned.. you.” THEY HAD THE RIGHT TO BE TERRIFIED AND THAT MAKES ME ACHE, CRY, AND ABSOLUTELY FEEL HORRIBLE AS THE HOPELESS ROMANTIC I AM.

[kezibeeart]

God, you never disappoint just the perfect emotion and power. Excellent, outstanding!

[mrslers]

Hold on, I just have to cry myself to sleep even tho it's literally 10AM because this song is too beautiful

[kkarazakiel]

IM HEREE! TAKING ATTENDANCE BEFORE RELEASE

[TrinFinn]

What is with amazing singers that I first find on tiktok when they make an anime inspired song, later going on to write a devastatingly beautiful love song that reminds me of the same person🙃😭. Like this is a bop but I will be crying in the club tonight

[kkarazakiel]

You never disappoint your fans, Madds. Every song you make always makes us feel something. I don't even know whether I should cry or smile while listening to this ahhh!

this fits my characters so much it hurts.they were in an arranged marriage and the girl loved her but she didn’t love her and then she fell for her but she was already engaged to someone she didn’t want and they both had the throne and met years later in their 30s

[mikoevelynn]

This hurts in a new way now that the full album has come out

[BuabaBun]

it's the head on the table, phone up waiting for that call, its the piles of crumpled paper, probably unsent letters, it's the broken pencils, anger and frustration, it's the spoon and ice cream. this is someone who is at their lowest, who is desperate and sad and lonely but has so much hope. the thing about having a good partner that you hurt, is that they kept coming back, they never gave up on you even when you were terrible, when they should've. so during the first few months/years of that breakup, a part of you still believes they didn't give up on you, that they never will. a part of you still thinks this is like all the other times, you'll mope and cry but once you come crawling back they'll take you in with open arms for the 10, 20, 30th time. but this isn't like those times, because now you've truly dont the unspeakable, now they've put the pieces together, now, you're alone. when you come crawling back, they've already moved on, like everything was a jacket they could just take off. you know thats not true, you know theyre still hurt, you know that you did something terrible and have no right to be upset. but emotions aren't logical, and so you cry. because if only you had done this years ago, if only absence didn't make the heart fond, if only you realised what you had when you had it, maybe you wouldnt be here, maybe they wouldnt be so hurt. it's a combination of a lot of things, it's putting this person on a pedestal, thinking they could solve all of you. it's not knowing how to change, how you could've been anything else. it's knowing youre wrong, but being unable to do anything about it

[mitchellhasto]

I've never had a relationship that wasn't a cruel lie or a mistake that was doomed from the start. every year that goes by I get a bit better but then I look around and its hammered in a little bit further, everyone has someone, and I'm still so very alone.
no matter how I try to better myself, no matter how good I get I'm still just me. too darn weird and different from everyone my age, happy everyone has somebody but wishing I could know what thats like.

I can be better, I can try harder, I can wait...but it still feels like in the end I'll be crushingly alone. Its so nice that everyone finds someone, I'm so genuinely happy for them, but it makes it so much harder to be ok on my own.

beautiful song, you did a great job, thanks for something bittersweet, it helps in a strange way
