“Maybe if they don't love you now, they never will and that hurts more than it should. And you're so tired, so you leave -- disappear. Maybe that one person you were chasing, they notice. They notice you're gone and they break a little because they had to depend to you. Without realizing, it's too late. That's the thing about the unrequited, when it's finally requited, if it ever will be, it's too late.”

SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK / JOJI
“I don’t want a friend. I want my life in two. Please one more night, waiting to get there, waiting for you. Just one more night, I’m done fighting all night. When I’m around slow dancing in the dark, don’t follow me, you’ll end up in my arms. You done made up your mind. I don’t need no more signs.”
I LOVE YOU / BILLIE EILISH
“It’s not true. Tell me I’ve been lied to. Crying isn’t like you. What the hell did I do? Never been the type to let someone see right through. Maybe you won’t take it back? Say you were trying to make me laugh. And nothing has to change today. You didn’t mean to say I love you. I love you and I don’t want to.”
UNDO / THE 1975
“I didn’t even see you when I liked you. Now, I ain’t got no time. Girl, I wanna see you undo it. I wanna see you, but you’re not mine.”
BETTER / KHALID
“You say we’re just friends but I swear when nobody’s around. You keep my hand around your neck, we connect, are you feeling it now? I got so high the other night, I swear to God, felt my feet lift the ground. Your back against the wall, this is all you’ve been talking about in my ears.”
IN MY HEAD / ARIANA GRANDE
“Painted a picture, I thought I knew you well. I got a habit of seeing what isn’t there. Caught in the moment, tangled up in your sheets. When you broke my heart, I said you only wanted half of me. My imagination’s too creative. They see demon, I see angel; without the halo, wingless angel.”
ROSES / GASHI
“She’s like a renegade in my head, that what she is. And she’s sleeping all in my bed, that where she left. She likes fighting with the gloves off. Every single night, she only fuck me with the right song. She’s like a melody in my head, that’s what she is.”
TEST DRIVE / JOJI
“What do you want, babe? I don’t like when you taunt me. You’ve been calling the wrong name. I said what do you want, babe? I’m working on my aim. I’m hoping you do the same. You got me afraid again, so let me just pray again.”
PROM / SZA
“Promise to get a little better as I get older and you’re so patient and sick of waiting. Promise to do better; should have, could have. Probably want to let me go, but you can’t.”
OUT OF LOVE / ALESSIA CARA
“I won’t tell you I’m lonely ‘cause it may be selfish. I won’t ask you to hold me ‘cause that won’d mend what’s helpless. There’s not a thing I could say, not a song I could sing for your mind to change. Nothing can fill up the space. Won’t ask you to stay, but let me ask you one thing.”
SOMEBODY ELSE / THE 1975
“So I heard you found somebody else. And, at first, I thought it was a lie. I took all my things that make sounds. The rest I can do without. I don’t want your body, but I have to think about you with somebody else. Our love has gone cold. You’re intertwining your soul with somebody else.”
WRONG DIRECTION / HAILEE STEINFELD
“I don’t hate you. No, I couldn’t if I wanted to. I just hate all the hurt that you put me through and that I blame myself for letting you. Did you know I already know?”
EASY / CAMILA CABELLO
“You tell me that I'm complicated and that might be an understatement. Anything else? You tell me that I'm indecisive. Fickle, but I try to hide it. Anything else? You tell me that I overthink 'til I ruin a good thing. Anything else?” You tell me that you'd rather fight than spend a single peaceful night with somebody else.”
