( * &. ━ PARAMORE AFTER LAUGHTER LYRIC STARTERS )
‘ all i want is to wake up fine. ’
‘ tell me that i’m alright. ’
‘ tell me that i’m alright, that i ain’t gonna die. ’
‘ you can tell me when it’s alright for me to come out. ’
‘ gonna make you wonder why you even try. ’
‘ gonna take you down and laugh when you cry. ’
‘ i still don’t know how i even survive. ’
‘ i gotta get to rock bottom. ’
‘ you hit me with lightning! ’
‘ just hang with me and my weather. ’
‘ i hear you making all that noise about the world you want to see. ’
‘ i’m so annoyed. ’
‘ i’m so annoyed cause i just killed off what was left of the optimist in me. ’
‘ hearts are breaking, wars are raging on. ’
‘ you got me nervous. ’
‘ i’m right at the end of my rope. ’
‘ don’t make me laugh, i’ll choke. ’
‘ just let me cry a little bit longer. ’
‘ i ain’t gonna smile if i don’t want to. ’
‘ hey man, we all can’t be like you. ’
‘ i want you to stop insisting that i’m not a lost cause. ’
‘ really all i’ve got is just to say pissed off, if that’s alright by you. ’
‘ leave me here a little bit longer. ’
‘ i don’t want anybody seeing me cry now. ’
‘ for all i know the best is over and the worst is yet to come. ’
‘ is it enough to keep hoping when the rest have given up? ’
‘ i hate to say i told you so. ’
‘ i hate to say i told you so, but they love to say they told me so. ’
‘ i know you like when i admit that i was wrong and you were right. ’
‘ at least i try to keep my cool when i’m thrown into a fire. ’
‘ you hurt me bad this time. ’
‘ i cried until i couldn’t cry. ’
‘ i don’t pick up when you call ‘cause your voice is a gun. ’
‘ your voice is like a gun, every word is a bullet hole shot in the sun. ’
‘ you want forgiveness, but i just can’t do it yet. ’
‘ there’s still a thread that runs from your body to mine. ’
‘ it could take me all your life to learn to love how i thought i could love someone. ’
‘ if it’s all up to us, we might as well give up. ’
‘ don’t you go and get it twisted. ’
‘ forgiving is not forgetting.. ’
‘ i can barely hang onto myself. ’
‘ i love making you believe what you get is what you see. ’
‘ i’m so fake happy. ’
‘ i feel so fake happy. ’
‘ i bet everybody here is just as insincere. we’re all so fake happy. ’
‘ i’ve been doing a good job of making them think i’m quite alright, better hope i don’t blink. ’
‘ if i smile with my teeth, bet you’ll believe me. ’
‘ please don’t ask me how i’ve been, don’t make me play pretend. ’
‘ i bet everybody here is take happy too. ’
‘ you think i look alright with these mascara tears? ’
‘ i know i said that i was doing good and that i’m happy now. should’ve known when things were going good that’s when i’d get knocked down. ’
‘ should’ve known when things were going good that’s when i’d get knocked down. ’
‘ man, you really know how to get someone down. ’
‘ everything was fine until you came around. ’
‘ after all, wasn’t i the one who said to keep your feet on the ground? ’
‘ hold onto hope if you got it. ’
‘ hold onto hope if you got it. don’t let it go for nobody. ’
‘ i’m hoping someday maybe i’ll just float away and i’ll forget every cynical thing you say. ’
‘ when are you gonna hear me out? ’
‘ reality will break your heart. ’
‘ survival will not be the hardest part. ’
‘ so let it break your heart. ’
‘ as if the first cut wasn’t deep enough, i dove in again cause i’m not giving up. ’
‘ could’ve got the same rush from any lover’s touch, but why get used to something new. ’
‘ no one breaks my heart like you. ’
‘ when you kiss me i wish we could see what happens next. ’
‘ i doubt you will come through. ’
‘ i’m giving up. ’
‘ i wonder is it better to get it over with? ’
‘ the illusion can shatter before we begin. ’
‘ if you’re really sorry, happy second chance. ’
‘ i think i could forgive. ’
‘ strange how we found ourselves exactly where we left off. ’
‘ i know you’re shaking my hand like it is the first time. ’
‘ are we alright? ’
‘ are you recounting all my faults? ’
‘ are you recounting all my faults? are you racking your brain just to find them all? ’
‘ could it be that i’ve changed or did you? ’
‘ stop asking why we had to waste so much time. ’
‘ stop asking why we had to waste so much time. we just pick up and start again cause we can’t keep holding onto grudges. ’
‘ we can’t keep holding onto grudges. ’
‘ time is a bastard. ’
‘ aren’t we so brave to give up the fight and let years go by without us? ’
‘ now i feel you by my side and i don’t even care if it’s been awhile. ’
‘ i can feel that we’ve changed and we’re better this way. ’
‘ if you wanna call me up or come over, come on, we’ll laugh till we cry like we did when we were kids. ’
‘ why did it take us so long to just let it go? ’
‘ why did it take us so long to stop holding on? ’
‘ i can’t think of getting old. ’
‘ i can’t think of getting old. it only makes me wanna die. ’
‘ i can’t think of who i was cause it just makes me want to cry. ’
‘ i try to keep going, but it’s not that simple. ’
‘ gotta keep going or they’ll call me a quitter. ’
‘ nostalgia’s cool, but it won’t help you now. ’
‘ i don’t need no help. ’
‘ i can sabotage me by myself. ’
‘ i don’t need no help. i can sabotage me by myself. ’
‘ don’t hold your breath. ’
‘ i never said i’d save you, honey. ’
‘ i don’t want your money. ’
‘ if i was you i’d run from me or rip me open. ’
‘ you’re not the only one who’s hopeless. ’
‘ be sure to put your faith in something else. ’
‘ be sure to put your faith in someone else, i’m just a girl. ’
‘ you’re not as alone as you feel. ’
‘ we all got problems, don’t we? ’
‘ we all need heroes, don’t we? ’
‘ we all need heroes, don’t we? rest assured there’s not a single person here who’s worthy. ’
‘ don’t let me let you down. ’
‘ hey baby, i’m not your superhuman and if that’s what you want, i hate to let you down. ’
‘ i hate to let you down. ’
‘ i’m gonna be the one to let you down. ’
‘ it’s such a long and awful lonely fall down from this pedestal that you keep putting me on. ’
‘ what if i fall on my face? ’
‘ what if i make a mistake? ’
‘ if it’s okay, a little grace would be appreciated. ’
‘ remember how we used to like ourselves? ’
‘ i know that you’re afraid to let all the light escape you, but we could let the light illuminate these hopeless places. ’
‘ i ain’t your hero. ’
‘ you’re wasting all your faith in me. ’
‘ i ain’t your hero. you’re wasting all your faith in me. ’
‘ i found these old letters from years ago. ’
‘ throw your pedestal of stone in the forgetful sea as protection from the paper-thin perfection you project on me. ’
‘ you’ll say that’s what i get when i let ambition win again. ’
‘ i’d hate to let you down. ’
‘ i’d hate to let you down, so i’ll let the waters rise and drown my dull reflection in the naive expectation in your eyes. ’
‘ i had a butcher’s heart. ’
‘ i had a butcher’s heart and no one thought they knew me. ’
‘ i’m no savior of yours. ’
‘ you’re no friend of mine. ’
‘ i’m no savior of yours and you’re no friend of mine. ’
‘ please let me know if there’s more i can give you. ’
‘ i can’t call you a stranger, but i can’t call you. ’
‘ i know you think i erased you. ’
‘ you may hate me, but i can’t hate you. ’
‘ i won’t replace you. ’
‘ you may hate me, but i can’t hate you and i won’t replace you. ’
‘ tell me how to feel about you now. ’
‘ do i suffocate or let go? ’
‘ think i’m tired of getting over it. ’
‘ i’m getting sick of new beginnings. ’
‘ i’m getting sick of new beginnings and always coming to your defenses. ’
‘ i guess it’s good to get it off my chest. ’
‘ i guess it’s good to get it off my chest. i guess i can’t believe i haven’t yet. ’
‘ you know i got my own convictions, but they’re stronger than any addiction. ’
‘ keep me up with your silence. ’
‘ take me down with your quiet. ’
‘ of all the weapons you fight with, your silence is the most violent. ’
‘ you don’t have to tell me if you ever think of me. ’
‘ i know you see me dancing wildly in the fog of your memory. ’
‘ you don’t have to tell me. ’
‘ i can still believe. ’
