✰ THE ‘ WE’RE ALL STILL EMO AF ‘ LYRIC STARTERS
FALL OUT BOY
‘ am i more than you bargained for yet? ’ ‘ cause that’s just who i am this week. ’ ‘ isn’t it messed up how i’m just dying to be him? ’ ‘ i confess, i messed up. ’ ‘ i don’t blame you for being you, but you can’t blame me for hating it. ’ ‘ darling, what did you expect? ’ ‘ i could have died with you. ’ ‘ let’s play this came called ‘when you catch fire i wouldn’t piss to put you out.’ ’ ‘ breaking hearts has never looked so cool. ’ ‘ you were the last good thing about this part of town. ’ ‘ i’m not a shoulder to cry on, but i digress. ’ ‘ i wrote the gospel on giving up. ’ ‘ joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of best friends. ’ ‘ my back is breaking from this heavy heart. ’ ‘ thanks for the memories even though they weren’t so great. ’ ‘ see, he tastes like you, only sweeter. ’ ‘ get me out of my mind and get you out of those clothes. ’ ‘ i’m a liner away from getting you into the mood. ’ ‘ last year’s wishes are this years apologies. ’ ‘ we’re the new face of failure. prettier and younger, but not any better off. ’
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE
‘ what’s the worst that i can say? ’ ‘ things are better if i stay. ’ ‘ so long and goodnight. ’ ‘ and then we’ll meet again when both our cars collide. ’ ‘ never think i’ll make you try to stay. ’ ‘ i don’t love you like i did yesterday. ’ ‘ fix your eyes and get up. ’ ‘ i never said i’d lie and wait forever. ’ ‘ you are never coming home. ’ ‘ if you wanted honesty that’s all you had to say. ’ ‘ i never want to let you down or have you go. ’ ‘ i’m not okay. ’ ‘ for the last time, take a good hard look. ’ ‘ when i was a young boy my father took me into the city to see a marching band. ’ ‘ we’ll carry on. ’ ‘ your misery and hate will kill us all. ’ ‘ the world will never take my heart. ’ ‘ go and try, you’ll never break me. ’ ‘ give a cheer for the broken. ’ ‘ teenagers scare the living shit out of me. ’ ‘ you’re never gonna fit in much, kid. ’
TAKING BACK SUNDAY
‘ can’t you just forget it? ’ ‘ i started something i couldn’t finish. ’ ‘ if we go down, we go down together. ’ ‘ everything i know about breaking hearts i learned from you. ’ ‘ i’ve made long term plans based on these mistakes. ’ ‘ don’t let it get to your head. ’ ‘ boys like you are a dime a dozen. ’ ‘ you’re a touch overrated. ’ ‘ you’e a lush and i hate it. ’ ‘ all i need to know is that i’m something you’ll be missing. ’ ‘ maybe i should hate you for this. ’ ‘ i’d never lie to you unless i had to. ’ ‘ the truth is that you could slit my throat and with my one last gasping breath, i’d apologize for bleeding on your shirt. ’ ‘ you are everything i want cause you are everything i’m not. ’ ‘ i just wanna break you down so badly in the worst way. ’ ‘ i’m gonna make damn sure that you can’t ever leave. ’ ‘ you won’t ever get too far from me. ’ ‘ your lipstick, his collar… don’t bother, angel. i know exactly what goes on. ’ ‘ will you tell all your friends you’ve got your gun to my head? ’ ‘ that all was only wishful thinking. ’
PANIC AT THE DISCO
‘ am i who you think about in bed? ’ ‘ i’ve got more wit, a better kiss, a hotter touch, a better fuck. ’ ‘ sweetie, you had me. ’ ‘ no, no, no, you know it will always be me. ’ ‘ i hope you didn’t expect to get all of the attention. ’ ‘ what a shame, the poor groom’s bride is a whore. ’ ‘ haven’t you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door? ’ ‘ i mean, technically our marriage is saved. ’ ‘ it’s much better to face these things with a sense of poise and rationality. ’ ‘ it’s just the end of the world. ’ ‘ things are shaping up to be pretty odd. ’ ‘ now i’m the only one to blame. ’ ‘ things have changed for me, and that’s okay. ’ ‘ northern downpour sends its love. ’ ‘ you clicked your heels and wished for me. ’ ‘ i know the worlds a broken bone. ’
ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS
‘ your subtleties, they strangle me. ’ ‘ i can’t explain myself at all. ’ ‘ maybe it’s best you leave me alone. ’ ‘ i can’t explain what you can’t explain. ’ ‘ it ends tonight. ’ ‘ when you see my face, i hope it gives you hell. ’ ‘ truth be told, i miss you. ’ ‘ truth be told, i miss you. and truth be told, i’m lying. ’ ‘ if you find a man that’s worth a damn and treats you well then he’s a fool. ’ ‘ you’ll never see what you’ve done to me. ’ ‘ you can take back your memories, they’re no good for me. ’ ‘ let me know what i’ve done wrong. ’ ‘ you are the only one that needs to know. ’ ‘ i’ll keep you my dirty little secret. ’ ‘ don’t tell anyone or you’ll be just another regret. ’ ‘ speak to me. ’ ‘ when all you got to keep is strong, move along. ’ ‘ when everything is wrong, we move along. ’ ‘ i’m dreaming of her. ’ ‘ the nights are long and i am left while the tears fall. ’ ‘ did you think that i would cry on the phone? ’ ‘ do you know what it feels like being alone? ’ ‘ i’ll find someone new. ’ ‘ can you help me find a way to carry on again. ’
MAYDAY PARADE
‘ may i say i loved you more? ’ ‘ this time we spent together was meant to last us for awhile. ’ ‘ you’re an angel sent to save. ’ ‘ if you go down, i go with you. ’ ‘ let’s drink to memories we shared. ’ ‘ before too long, you’ll be a memory. ’ ‘ so tell me honestly, did you ever really wan this? ’ ‘ my jealous heart can’t take that. ’ ‘ i’ll be okay. is that what you want me to say? ’ ‘ it’s called break-up ‘cause it’s broken. ’ ‘ please don’t tell me that i’m dreaming. ’ ‘ i’m throwing away pictures that i never should have taken in the first place. ’ ‘ i’m just hoping you’re not seeing his face. ’ ‘ it was him that took my place. ’ ‘ even broken hearts may have their doubts. ’ ‘ you smiled the whole way through it, i guess maybe that’s what’s worse. ’ ‘ i hope this makes you happy now. ’ ‘ take me home. ’ ‘ i’d rather die than be with you. ’ ‘ i know you’re trying your hardest. ’ ‘ the hardest part is letting go of the nights we shared. ’ ‘ compared to your eyes, nothing shines quite as bright. ’ ‘ let’s not pretend like you’re alone tonight, i know he’s there. ’ ‘ i guess that i can live without you but without you i’ll be miserable at best. ’ ‘ without you i’ll be miserable at best. ’ ‘ you’re all that i hoped i’d find in every single way. ’ ‘ the hardest part of living is just taking breaths to stay. ’ ‘ it’s been three whole days since i’ve had sleep ‘cause i dream of his lips on your cheeks. ’ ‘ i got the point that i should leave you alone, but we both know that i’m not that strong. ’ ‘ i miss the lips that made me fly. ’ ‘ young love is such dumb love. ’ ‘ you’re still out of my reach. ’ ‘ how could i ask you to leave me? ’ ‘ we were just kids in love. ’ ‘ the first kiss stole the breath from my lips. why did the last one tear us apart? ’
