Lirik Lagu Valentine's Day - LANY, Romantis tapi Bikin Galau

Counted up the days
Since it went to hell and I watched you walk out
Counted up the ways
I've tried to save myself and I've kept my head down

I think it's time
To give my heart a chance
See if it's healed by now
I think it's time, I think it's time

I'm hanging out with someone else
I think they like me too
Will it last? It’s hard to tell
When everything feels so new
Against her hips I find some help
But I know it's not the truth
No matter what I tell myself
She's not as good, she's not as good
She's not as good as you, no

There's not a day
Where the thought of you doesn't wake up with me
Gotta be a way
I could live without ya and not feel empty

I think it's time
To give my heart a chance
Even though it's bleeding
I think it's time, I think it's time

I'm hanging out with someone else
I think they like me too
Will it last? It’s hard to tell
When everything feels so new
Against her hips I find some help
But I know it's not the truth
No matter what I tell myself
She's not as good, she's not as good
She's not as good as you

I'm fine all night
Feelings that I can't forget
I wish you were
Sleeping next to me instead
I loved the way your
Skin would feel against my chest
I pray you're not
The best that I will ever get

I'm hanging out with someone else
I think they like me too
Will it last? It’s hard to tell
When everything feels so new
Against her hips I find some help
But I know it's not the truth
No matter what I tell myself
She's not as good, she's not as good
She's not as good as you, no (Yeah, yeah)
She's not as good as you, no
She's not as good as you

Dirilis pada 5 Oktober 2018, “Valentine’s Day” masuk ke dalam album Malibu Nights. Lagu yang ditulis oleh Paul Klein bersama Jake Goss dan Les Priest ini menjadi salah satu lagu paling emosional di album tersebut. Meski judulnya terdengar romantis, lagu ini justru lahir dari patah hati Paul Klein setelah putus cinta, lho.

“Valentine’s Day” memiliki makna yang tersirat dari liriknya, yaitu perjuangan seseorang untuk move on. Siapa sangka kalau salah satu lagu dengan judul Valentine ini justru lagu galau alih-alih lagu jatuh cinta. Bahkan paul mengemas lagu berdurasi 3 menit 27 detik ini menjadi curahan hati untuk membuka hati, bertemu orang baru, dan mengisi kekosongan, meskipun masih terbayang-bayang masa lalu.

Lagu "Valentine’s Day" cukup fenomenal, karena ditulis Paul tepat di hari Valentine. Tepatnya saat ia masih berusaha memproses perpisahan dari masa lalunya. Diketahui kala itu, Paul baru saja mengakhiri hubungannya bersama Dua Lipa.

Album Malibu Nights juga dikenal sebagai album patah hati dari LANY. Ada beberapa lagu galau miliknya selain "Valentine’s Day" yang masuk ke dalam album satu ini. Ada "Thru These Tears", "I Don't Wanna Love You Anymore", dan "Thick And Thin". Namun, lagu "Valentine’s Day" menjadi salah satu yang populer karena berjudul hari kasih sayang, tapi berisikan lirik galau.

"Valentine’s Day" menjadi bukti bahwa gak semua lagu dengan judul Valentine merupakan lagu bahagia. Apalagi jika di hari Valentine mengandung kenangan buruk atau sedih, seperti yang dialami Paul Klein. Apakah ini menjadi salah satu lagu favoritmu dari LANY?
