- “I’m doing good, I’m on some new sh*t/Have to say ‘yes’ instead of ‘no.'”
- “If you never bleed, we’re never going to grow/And it is fine now, but we were something, don’t you think?”
- “Persist and resist the temptation to ask: if one thing had been different, would everything be different today?”
- “You drew the stars around my scars, but now I’m bleedin.'”
- “In my defense, I have none, never to leave well enough alone But it would have been funny if you would have been the one.”
- “You were my people, now I am in exile, seein’ you out.”
- “Heartbeats in the High Line, a once-in-twenty lives/And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone bed, I put it in and told me it was his favorite.”
- “Even on my worst day, I do not deserve it, baby, all the hell you gave me?”
- “I loved you, I swear that I loved you until the day of my death.”
- “I don’t have it in me to go with grace, and you’re the hero flying around saving the face/And if I am dead, for that is that when you wake up?”
- “August slipped away like a bottle of wine, ’cause you were never mine.”
- “For me it was enough to live off of the hope of all, cancelled the plans in the event that you had called.”
- “It is difficult to be in a party when I feel like an open wound, it is difficult to be anywhere in these days when all I want is you”.
- “You taught me a secret language that I can’t talk to anyone, and you know very well, for you, I would ruin myself.”
- “So I got lost as all my potential”.
- “The time, the mystic time/Cut me open, then the healing of my well.”
- “The hell was the road, but that brought me the sky.”
- “And not just enough to think all along there was some invisible string tying you to me?”
- “Standing in your jacket, kissin’ in my new car/stop at a streetlight, you know that I miss you.”
- “All these people think that love is for show, but I was going to die for you in secret.”
- “Your faith love is the only deception I believe in/I don’t want any other shade of blue but, there is no other sadness in the world I would.”
