what a lovely thing to say.

this shows great artistic promise.

i'm unable to control my emotions.

i had asked for her hand in marriage and she had agreed.

i'd rather stay asleep than never see you wake up next to me.

you seemed fine just a few days ago.

if anybody needs me, i'll be in my coffin.

i dig you like a tomb.

stop the world, and melt with me.

friday, i'm in love again.

we'll dance the 12 step on my grave.

i'd kill the man i am for one more chance to be yours, babe.
