❝ you should’ve been there. ❞
❝ you should’ve been there. should’ve burst through the door with that “baby i’m right here” smile. ❞
❝ it would have felt like a million little shining stars had just aligned, and i would’ve been so happy. ❞
❝ i’ve got my eye on the door just waiting for you to walk in. ❞
❝ what do you say when tears are streaming down your face in front of everyone you know? ❞
❝ what do you do when the one who means the most to you is the one who didn’t show? ❞
❝ that was the moment i knew. ❞
❝ how strange that i don’t know you at all. ❞
❝ i told myself, don’t get attached, but in my mind, i play it back, spinning faster than the plane that took you. ❞
❝ i don’t wanna miss you like this. ❞
❝ come back, be here, come back, be here. ❞
❝ i don’t wanna need you this way. ❞
❝ i can’t help but wish you took me with you. ❞
❝ don’t look at me, you got a girl at home. ❞
❝ don’t look at me, you got a girl at home, and everybody knows that. ❞
❝ i feel a responsibility to do what’s upstanding and right. ❞
❝ you’ve been getting closer and closer and crossing so many lines. ❞
❝ it would be a fine proposition if i was a stupid girl. ❞
❝ i just wanna make sure you understand perfectly you’re the kind of man who makes me sad. ❞
❝ while she waits up, you chase down the newest things and take for granted what you have. ❞
❝ and, yeah, i might go with it, if i hadn’t once been just like her. ❞
❝ call a cab, lose my number. ❞
❝ call a cab, lose my number. you’re about to lose your girl. ❞
❝ let’s consider this lesson learned. ❞
❝ it would be a fine proposition if i hadn’t once been just like her. ❞
❝ i remember your bare feet, down the hallway. ❞
❝ i love you to the moon and back. ❞
❝ i remember your blue eyes looking into mine like we had our own secret club. ❞
❝ come on, baby, with me, we’re going to fly away from here. ❞
❝ i remember the drive home, when the blind hope turned to crying and screaming, “why?” ❞
❝ flowers pile up in the worst way, no one knows what to say. ❞
❝ it’s about to be halloween. you could be anything you wanted if you were still here. ❞
❝ we’re going to fly away from here, out of this curtained room and this hospital grey, we’ll just disappear. ❞
❝ what if i’m standing in your closet trying to talk to you? ❞
❝ what if i kept the hand-me-downs you won’t grow into? ❞
❝ what if i really thought some miracle would see us through? ❞
❝ what if i really thought some miracle would see us through? what if the miracle was even getting one moment with you? ❞
❝ i know i’m probably better off on my own. ❞
❝ i know i’m probably better off on my own than loving a man who didn’t know what he had when he had it. ❞
❝ i wish it wasn’t 4am, standing in the mirror saying to myself, “you know you had to do it.” ❞
❝ i know the bravest thing i ever did was run. ❞
❝ i know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand. ❞
❝ i just miss you, and i just wish you were a better man. ❞
❝ i waited on every careless word, hoping they might turn sweet again. ❞
❝ i waited on every careless word, hoping they might turn sweet again, like it was in the beginning. ❞
❝ oh, you never thought i’d run. ❞
❝ i hold onto this pride because these days it’s all i have. ❞
❝ i gave to you my best and we both know you can’t say that. ❞
❝ we might still be in love if you were a better man. ❞
❝ they tell you while you’re young, “girls, go out and have your fun”, then they hunt and slay the ones who actually do it. ❞
❝ lord, what will become of me once i’ve lost my novelty? ❞
❝ i’ve had too much to drink tonight, and i know it’s sad, but this is what i think about. ❞
❝ it’s like i can feel time moving. ❞
❝ how can a person know everything at eighteen but nothing at twenty-two? ❞
❝ will you still want me when i’m nothing new? ❞
❝ how long will it be cute, all this crying in my room? ❞
❝ my cheeks are growing tired from turning red and faking smiles. ❞
❝ are we only biding time til i lose your attention and someone else lights up the room? ❞
❝ people love an ingénue. ❞
❝ how did i go from growing up to breaking down? ❞
❝ it’s a fever dream, the kind of radiance you only have at seventeen. ❞
❝ she’ll know the way and then she’ll say she got the map from me; i’ll say i’m happy for her then i’ll cry myself to sleep. ❞
❝ i’ve had too much to drink tonight, but i wonder if they’ll miss me once they drive me out. ❞
❝ what about your promises? ❞
❝ you call, but i won’t hear it. ❞
❝ you really blew this, babe. ❞
❝ we ain’t getting through this one, babe. ❞
❝ this is the last time i’ll ever call you, babe. ❞
❝ it’s strange how your face doesn’t look so innocent. ❞
❝ your secret has its consequence and that’s on you, babe. ❞
❝ i break down every time you call; we’re a wreck, you’re a wrecking ball. ❞
❝ since you admitted it, i keep picturing her lips on your neck; i can’t unsee it. ❞
❝ i keep picturing her lips on your neck; i can’t unsee it. ❞
❝ i hate that because of you, i can’t love you, babe. ❞
❝ i know that you like me, and it’s kinda frightening standing here waiting. ❞
❝ i became hypnotized by freckles and bright eyes. ❞
❝ you could be the one that i love. ❞
❝ i could be the one that you dream of. ❞
❝ a message in a bottle is all i can do, standing here, hoping it gets to you. ❞
❝ you could be the one that i keep, and i could be the reason you can’t sleep at night. ❞
❝ where were you while i’m wondering if i’ll ever see you again? ❞
❝ well, i tried to fit in with your upper-crust circles. ❞
❝ they sit around talking about the meaning of life and the book that just saved ‘em that i hadn’t heard of. ❞
❝ i bet you couldn’t believe when you realized i’m harder to forget than i was to leave. ❞
❝ i bet you couldn’t believe when you realized i’m harder to forget than i was to leave, and i bet you think about me. ❞
❝ you know what they say, you can’t help who you fall for. ❞
❝ you know what they say, you can’t help who you fall for, and you and i fell like an early spring snow. ❞
❝ you laughed at my dreams, rolled your eyes at my jokes. ❞
❝ mr. superior thinking, do you have all the space that you need? ❞
❝ i don’t have to be your shrink to know that you’ll never be happy. ❞
❝ does it make you feel sad that the love that you’re looking for is the love that you had? ❞
❝ i bet you think about me when you say, “oh my god, she’s insane, she wrote a song about me.” ❞
❝ why fall in love just so you can watch it go away? ❞
❝ all this time i didn’t know you were breaking down. ❞
❝ i’ll be summer sun for you forever, forever winter if you go. ❞
❝ his laugh is a symphony; when the lights go out, it’s hard to breathe. ❞
❝ i pull at every thread trying to solve the puzzles in his head, live my life scared he’ll decide to leave instead. ❞
❝ if i was standing there in your apartment, i’d take that bomb in your head and disarm it. ❞
❝ if i was standing there in your apartment, i’d take that bomb in your head and disarm it. i’d say i love you even at your darkest and please don’t go. ❞
❝ he says he doesn’t believe anything much he hears these days, i say, “believe in one thing, i won’t go away.” ❞
❝ give me the keys, i’ll bring the car back around. ❞
❝ we shouldn’t be in this town. ❞
❝ i’d drive away before i let you go. ❞
❝ so give me a reason and don’t say no. ❞
❝ there’s a chain round your throat, piece of paper where i wrote “i’ll wait for you”. ❞
❝ there’s a key on the chain, there’s a picture in a frame, take it with you. ❞
❝ darling, let’s run; run from it all. ❞
❝ we can go where our eyes can take us, go where no one else is. ❞
❝ there’s a heart on your sleeve, i’ll take it when i leave and hold it for you. ❞
❝ there’s been this hole in my heart. ❞
❝ this thing was a shot in the dark. ❞
❝ say you’ll never let 'em tear us apart and i’ll hold onto you while we run. ❞
❝ i miss you like it was the very first night. ❞
❝ i drive down different roads, but they all lead back to you. ❞
❝ they don’t know how much i miss you. ❞
❝ back then we didn’t know we were built to fall apart. ❞
❝ you never called it what it was til we were dead and gone and buried. ❞
❝ you kept me like a secret, but i kept you like an oath. ❞
❝ they say all’s well that ends well, but i’m in a new hell every time you double-cross my mind. ❞
❝ you said if we had been closer in age maybe it would have been fine, and that made me want to die. ❞
❝ the idea you had of me, who was she? ❞
❝ the idea you had of me, who was she? a never-needy, ever-lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you? ❞
❝ what happened? you. that’s what happened. you. ❞
❝ it’s supposed to be fun turning twenty-one. ❞
❝ and i was never good at telling jokes but the punch line goes, “i’ll get older but your lovers stay my age.” ❞
❝ i’m a soldier who’s returning half her weight. ❞
❝ did the twin flame bruise paint you blue? ❞
❝ just between us, did the love affair maim you, too? ❞
❝ in this city’s barren cold, i still remember the first fall of snow and how it glistened as it fell. ❞
❝ just between us, i remember it all too well. ❞
