Character Songs -- Daisy Buchanan

↳“Carmen,” Lana Del Rey

"Darlin', darlin', doesn't have a problem

Lyin' to herself, 'cause her liquor's top-shelf.....

The boys, the girls, they all liked Carmen.

She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes

She laughs, like God, her mind's like a diamond

But here tonight, she's still she's still shinin'

Like lightnin', like lightnin'."

Ugh, why can't I get anyone to shag me? I was so close with that lady next door, but Nick and Jordan, the latter very rudely, I might add, turned me down. What's happened to me?! Why do I wanna shag everyone and why won't anyone shag me?

"You're dead to me."

"Daisy? You're alive?"

Daisy stared at their hands clasped together, the warmth felt nice, but somehow it discontented her all the same. "Tommy, I... don't know if that will work out so much. Starting fresh only sounds like we'd run away from our silly problems." She hesitated for a moment in thought before gathering herself on her tiptoes and giving him a small peck on the cheek, a sudden smile forming, "Don't worry, dear. Just forget what I said."

Frowning at Daisy Tom felt like he had just been slapped across the face. It seems like you'd know a lot about running away from your problems, Daisy...

"I will then." He forced a smile, looking away from here.

Tom/Daisy → "Hardest of Hearts," Florence + The Machine

There is love in your body but you can't hold it in It pours from your eyes and spills from your skin Tenderest touch leaves the darkest of marks And the kindest of kisses break the hardest of hearts The hardest of hearts The hardest of hearts The hardest of hearts There is love in your body but you can't get it out It gets stuck in your head, won't come out of your mouth Sticks to your tongue and shows on your face That the sweetest of words have the bitterest taste Darling heart, I loved you from the start But you'll never know what a fool I've been Darling heart, I loved you from the start But that's no excuse for the state I'm in The hardest of hearts The hardest of hearts The hardest of hearts There is love in our bodies and it holds us together But pulls us apart when we're holding each other We all want something to hold in the night We don't care if it hurts or we're holding too tight There is love in your body but you can't get it out It gets stuck in your head, won't come out of your mouth Sticks to your tongue and it shows on your face That the sweetest of words have the bitterest taste Darling heart, I loved you from the start But you'll never know what a fool I've been Darling heart, I loved you from the start But that's no excuse for the state I'm in The hardest of hearts The hardest of hearts The hardest of hearts My heart swells like a water at work (?) Can't stop myself before it's too late Hold on to your heart 'Cause I'm coming to take it Hold on to your heart 'Cause I'm coming to break it Hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on Hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on The hardest of hearts (hold on, hold on) The hardest of hearts (hold on, hold on) The hardest of hearts (hold on)

Slender arms wrapped around his broad shoulders and her head rested against his chest, "Tommy, love... Do you ever feel lonely in this marriage? Is that why you're always with that Wilson woman?"

Frowning, Tom looked down at Daisy. "Of course I'm happy, darling...I don't love her, I love you..." He forced a smile, taking her hands in his.
