‘ we never painted by the numbers, but we were making it count. ’
‘ you know the greatest loves of all time are over now. ’
‘ we were something, don’t you think so ? ’
‘ in my defense, i have none. ’
‘ if my wishes came true, it would have been you. ’
‘ when you are young they assume you know nothing. ’
‘ i knew you’d haunt all of my what-if’s. ’
‘ you drew scars around my stars but now i’m bleeding. ’
‘ i knew i’d curse you for the longest time. ’
‘ who knows if you / he / she / they ‘d never showed up, what could have been. ’
‘ i had a marvelous time ruining everything. ’
‘ you’re laughing, but the joke’s not funny at all. ’
‘ you’re not my homeland anymore. ’
‘ you were my crown, now i’m in exile. ’
‘ all this time, we always walked a very thin line. ’
‘ your eyes add insult to injury. ’
‘ if i’m on fire, you’ll be made of ashes too. ’
‘ did i deserve all the hell you gave me ? ’
‘ i loved you, i swear i loved you til my dying day. ’
‘ if i’m dead to you, why are you at the wake ? ’
‘ i still talk to you while i’m screaming at the sky. ’
‘ you had to kill me but it killed you just the same. ’
‘ i know they said the end is near. ’
‘ i’ll be shining just for you. ’
‘ i’m still a believer, but i don’t know why. ’
‘ i’ve never been a natural, all i do is try. ’
‘ i used to scream ferociously any time i wanted. ’
‘ i love you to the moon and saturn. ’
‘ our love lasts so long. ’
‘ i can see us lost in the memory. ’
‘ i remember thinking i had you. ’
‘ i was living for the hope of it all. ’
‘ i didn’t know if you’d care if i came back. ’
‘ i have a lot of regrets about that. ’
‘ i don’t quite know what to say, but i’m here in your doorway. ’
‘ it’s hard to be anywhere these days when all i want is you. ’
‘ you showed me colors you know i can’t see with anyone else. ’
‘ look at this idiotic fool that you’ve made me. ’
‘ for you i would ruin myself a million little times. ’
‘ time, curious time, cutting me open and healing me fine. ’
‘ all along there was some invisible string tying you to me. ’
‘ hell was the journey but it brought me heaven. ’
‘ what did you think i’d say to that ? ’
‘ what a shame she went mad. ’
‘ you took everything from me. ’
‘ you want a single glimpse of relief to make sense of what you’ve seen. ’
‘ it’s like i couldn’t breathe. ’
‘ the worst thing that i ever did was what i did to you. ’
‘ i dreamt of you all summer long. ’
‘ right now is the last time i can dream about what happens when you see my face again. ’
‘ i don’t know anything, but i know i miss you. ’
‘ the rain is always going to come if you’re standing with me. ’
‘ i’m a fire and i’ll keep your brittle heart warm. ’
‘ i would die for you in secret. ’
‘ would it be enough if i could never give you peace ? ’
‘ no other sadness in the world would do. ’
‘ your faithless love is the only hoax i believe in. ’
‘ i don’t belong, and my beloved neither do you. ’
‘ i want you right here. ’
‘ i never would have known by the look on your face. ’
‘ the more that you say, the less i know. ’
‘ wherever you stray, i’ll follow. ’
‘ i dropped your hand while dancing. ’
‘ love slipped beyond your reaches, and i couldn’t give a reason. ’
‘ i never was ready, so i watched you go. ’
‘ sometimes you just don’t know the answer til’ someone’s on their knees and asks you. ’
‘ what a shame she’s fucked in the head. ’
‘ everybody wonders what it would be like to love you. ’
‘ what must it be like to grow up that beautiful ? ’
‘ my mind turns your life into folklore. ’
‘ there’s an ache in you, put there by the ache in me. ’
‘ i won’t ask you to wait if you don’t ask me to stay. ’
‘ the heart i know i’m breaking is my own. ’
‘ you’re so much older, and wiser. ’
‘ i know my love should be celebrated, but you tolerate it. ’
‘ if it’s all in my head, tell me now. ’
‘ you assume i’m fine but what would you do if i break free and leave us in ruins ? ’
‘ i think he / she / they did it, but i just can’t prove it. ’
‘ i’m not letting up until the day i die. ’
‘ you haven’t met the new me yet. ’
‘ there is happiness in our history. ’
‘ you’re haunted by the look in my eyes that would have loved you for a lifetime. ’
‘ i can’t make it go away by making you a villain. ’
‘ when did your winning smile begin to look like a smirk ? ’
‘ sorry, i can’t see facts through all of my fury. ’
‘ do you ever stop and think about me ? ’
‘ it’s never too late to come back to my side. ’
‘ i guess i’ll never know, and you’ll go on with the show. ’
‘ you know you’ll always know me. ’
‘ did i paint your bluest skies the darkest grey ? ’
‘ did you love me, or were you too polite to leave me ? ’
‘ your touch brought forth an incandescent glow. ’
‘ i sit here and wait, grieving for the living. ’
‘ my pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand. ’
‘ i can’t stop you putting roots in my dreamland. ’
‘ i’d live and die for moments that we stole on begged and borrowed time. ’
‘ takes one to know one. ’
‘ you’re a bandit like me. ’
‘ forever is the sweetest con. ’
‘ you had some tricks up your sleeves. ’
‘ now i know i’m never going to love again. ’
‘ i tried to pick my battles until the battle picked me. ’
‘ your nemeses will defeat themselves before they get the chance to swing. ’
‘ you’re alive in my head. ’
‘ what died didn’t stay dead. ’
‘ it cut deep to know you right to the bone. ’
‘ i can’t remember what i used to fight for. ’
‘ in the cracks of light, i dreamed of you. ’
‘ i had a feeling so peculiar. ’
‘ i’m right where you left me. ’
‘ i’m still sitting in a corner i haunt. ’
‘ if my love died young, i can’t bear witness. ’
‘ you left me no choice but to stay here forever. ’
‘ it’s that old familiar body ache, from the same little break in your soul. ’
‘ sometimes giving up is the strong thing. ’
‘ sometimes to run is the brave thing. ’
‘ you know when it’s time to go. ’
