‘ we fall in love until it bleeds, or hurts, or fades in time. ’
‘ you come around and your armor falls. ’
‘ this is a state of grace. ’
‘ this is the worthwhile fight. ’
‘ love is a ruthless game unless you play it good and right. ’
‘ this is the golden age of something good and right and real. ’
‘ you’re my achilles’ heel. ’
‘ so you never were a saint. ’
‘ i loved in shades of wrong. ’
‘ loving you is like trying to change my mind once i’m already flying through the free fall. ’
‘ it’s like the colors in autumn, so bright just before they lose it all. ’
‘ losing you was blue like i’ve never known. ’
‘ forgetting you is like trying to know somebody i’ve never met. ’
‘ remembering you comes in flashbacks, and echoes. ’
‘ i tell myself it’s time now, gotta let go. ’
‘ moving on from you is impossible when i still see it all in my head. ’
‘ regretting him / her / them is like wishing you’d never found out that love could be that strong. ’
‘ that’s why you’re spinning ‘round in my head, it comes back to me burning red. ’
‘ put your lips close to mine as long as they don’t touch. ’
‘ i can’t decide if it’s a choice: getting swept away. ’
‘ i hear the sound of my own voice asking you to stay. ’
‘ all we are is skin and bone trained to get along. ’
‘ i’m forever going with the flow, but you’re friction. ’
‘ your name has echoed through my mind and i just think you should know. ’
‘ nothing safe is worth the drive and i will follow you home. ’
‘ this hope is treacherous. ’
‘ this daydream is dangerous. ’
‘ i guess you didn’t care, and i guess i liked that. ’
‘ when i fell hard you took a step back without me. ’
‘ i realized the blame is on me. ’
‘ i knew you were trouble when you walked in. ’
‘ i flew me to places i’ve never been until you put me down. ’
‘ no apologies, you’ll never see me cry. ’
‘ you’ll pretend you don’t know that you’re the reason why i’m drowning. ’
‘ i heard you moved on from whispers on the street. ’
‘ you were long gone when you met me. ’
‘ the saddest fear comes creeping in, that you never loved me. ’
‘ something about you felt like home somehow. ’
‘ i can picture it after all these days. ’
‘ i know it’s long gone. ’
‘ i might be okay, but i’m not fine at all. ’
‘ i / you remember it all too well. ’
‘ you tell me about your past, thinking your future is me. ’
‘ i’ll forget about you long enough to forget why i needed to. ’
‘ maybe we got lost in translation, maybe i asked for too much. ’
‘ maybe this thing was a masterpiece, till you tore it all up. ’
‘ you called me up again just to break me like a promise. ’
‘ you’re so casually cruel in the name of being honest. ’
‘ time won’t fly, it’s like i’m paralyzed by it. ’
‘ i’d like to be my old self again, but i’m still trying to find it. ’
‘ it reminds you of innocence. ’
‘ i loved you so, back before you lost the one real thing you’ve ever known. ’
‘ it was rare, i was there, i remember it all too well. ’
‘ it feels like a perfect night. ’
‘ we’ll end up dreaming instead of sleeping. ’
‘ we’re happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time. ’
‘ it’s miserable and magical. ’
‘ everything will be alright if you keep me next to you. ’
‘ we’ll forget about the heartbreaks. ’
‘ you don’t know about me, but i’ll bet you want to. ’
‘ everything will be alright if we just keep dancing. ’
‘ i bet this time of night you’re still up. ’
‘ i just want to tell you it takes everything in me not to call you. ’
‘ i wish i could run to you. ’
‘ i hope you know that every time i don’t, i almost do. ’
‘ you think i either moved on, or hate you. ’
‘ i bet it never ever occurred to you. ’
‘ i can’t say hello to you and risk another goodbye. ’
‘ we made quite a mess, babe. ’
‘ we’re probably better off this way. ’
‘ i confess, that in my dreams you’re touching my face. ’
‘ you’re asking me to stay. ’
‘ i hope sometimes you wonder about me. ’
WE ARE NEVER EVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER.
‘ i remember when we broke up the first time. ’
‘ i’m saying this is it, i’ve had enough. ’
‘ i miss you, and i swear i’m gonna change. ’
‘ remember how that lasted for a day? ’
‘ this time i’m telling you. ’
‘ we are never ever getting back together. ’
‘ i’m really going to miss you picking fights, and me falling for it, screaming that i’m right. ’
‘ you’ll hide away and find some peace of mind. ’
‘ you’ll call me up again tonight. ’
‘ i used to think that we were forever. ’
‘ i used to say never say never. ’
