PARAMORE’S ❝ AFTER LAUGHTER ❞ SENTENCE STARTERS
HARD TIMES
“all that i want is to wake up fine.”
“tell me that i’m alright - that i ain’t gonna die.”
“and i still don’t know how i even survive.”
“where do i go? give me some sort of sign.”
“gonna take you down and laugh until you cry.”
ROSE-COLORED BOY
“i’m right at the end of my rope.”
“don’t make me laugh, i’ll choke.”
“hey man, we all can’t be like you.”
“i want you to stop insisting that i’m not a lost cause.”
“i don’t want anybody seeing me cry now.”
TOLD YOU SO
“for all i know, the best is over and the worst is yet to come.”
“i hate to say i told you so.”
“i know you like when i admit that i was wrong.”
“at least i try to keep my cool.”
FORGIVENESS
“i cried ‘til i couldn’t cry.”
“you want forgiveness.”
“there’s still a thread that runs from your body to mine.”
“if it’s all up to us we might as well give up.”
“forgiving is not forgetting.”
FAKE HAPPY
“i bet everybody here is just as insincere.”
“please, don’t ask me how i’ve been.”
“if the lights are low they’ll never see me frown.”
“i know i said that i was doing good and that i’m happy now…”
26
“you really know how to get someone down.”
“hold onto hope if you’ve got it.”
“i’m hoping someday maybe i’ll just float away.”
“survival will not be the hardest part.”
“let it break your heart.”
POOL
“no one breaks my heart like you.”
“for a moment, i could forget what happens in my head.”
“is it better to get it over with?”
“now i know you.”
GRUDGES
“are you recounting all my faults?”
“could it be that i’ve changed? or did you?”
“we can’t keep holding on to grudges.”
“i don’t even care that it’s been awhile.”
“why did it take so long to just let it go?”
CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE
“i can’t think of who i was, it just makes me want to cry.”
“i try to keep going but it’s not that simple.”
“nostalgia’s cool, but it won’t help me now.”
“i can sabotage me by myself.”
“i gotta keep going or they’ll call me a quitter.”
IDLE WORSHIP
“don’t hold your breath, i never said i’d save you.”
“i don’t want your money.”
“we all got problems don’t we?”
“i know that you’re afraid to let all the dark escape you.”
“you’re wasting all your faith on me.”
NO FRIEND
“i’m no savior of yours and you’re no friend of mine.”
“i see myself in the reflection of people’s eyes.”
“i hate i might actually be more afraid.”
“if nothing comes of it, just know that we are grateful.”
TELL ME HOW
“you may hate me but i can’t hate you.”
“i’m sick of the beginnings.”
“tell me how to feel about you now.”
“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.”
