Dear Diary Lyrics by Róisín Murphy

Ruby Blue

2005

[Verse 1]
Dear diary
My dear
Got to keep it all inside
Got to keep it locked behind a
Golden wall of silence

[Pre-Chorus]
You see I have my pride
And I won't be telling him
Anytime soon
Too afraid to say it
I wouldn't want to embarrass myself
Telling everybody the truth

[Chorus]
No I
I won't send this valentine (No I)
Violets are blue (I won't send it)
And if you don't receive this valentine (I won't pretend it)
Don't mean that it ain't true
And I'm not thinking of you

[Verse 2]
Won't kiss
I won't tell
Never cross these lips
Never break the spell
I decided to go on denying myself
Living alone
Living a lie

[Chorus]
No I
I won't send this valentine (No I)
Violets are blue (I won't send it)
And if you don't receive this valentine (I won't pretend it)
Don't mean that it ain't true
And I'm not thinking of you (No I)

[Post-Chorus]
I keep living a li-i-ie (No I)
I keep living a lie (No I)
I keep living a li-i-ie (No I)
I keep living a lie (No I)

[Bridge]
To never speak of it
Or hear the music of it
We'll play a symphony
In my wildest dreams

[Chorus]
No I
I won't send this valentine (No I)
Violets are blue (I won't send it)
And if you don't receive this valentine (I won't pretend it)
Don't mean that it ain't true
And I'm not thinking of you
No I
I won't send this valentine (No I)
Violets are blue (I won't send it)
And if you don't receive this valentine (I won't pretend it)
Don't mean that it ain't true
And I'm not thinking of you

[Post-Chorus]
I keep living a li-i-ie
I keep living a lie
I keep living a li-i-ie
I keep living a lie
I keep living a li-i-ie
I keep living a lie
I keep living a li-i-ie
I keep living a lie

[Outro]
I won't send this valentine
Violets are blue
And if you don't receive this valentine
