Am I the habit you're too tired to break?
Sometimes I swear I catch you looking at me
like I got what you need, but it could be all in my mind.
When I arrive, I bring the fire.
Make you come alive, I can take you higher.
If I had wings, I'd follow you up there.
And she gonna rock
'til the camera stops.
I don't see the "good" in goodbye.
I like to imagine that I'm all that you need.
I won't cry because it's done.
I'll smile because it was with you.
After awhile, you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and
chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesn't mean learning, and company
doesn't always mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts,
and presents aren't promises and you begin to accept your defeats with your head
up and your eyes ahead with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child. And you
learn to build all your roads on today, because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain
for plans and futures have a way of falling down mid-flight. After awhile, you learn that
even sunshine burns if you get too much, so you plant your own garden and decorate
your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that
you really can endure, that you really are strong and you do have worth and you learn.
If I traded it all,
If I gave it all away for one thing,
wouldn't that be something?
And I try to pretend, but I just feel it when we're together.
I got models in the moshpit dancin' off beat,
but they know the words to my shit.
No, uh... I've always treated her like a queen, but...
lately I'm
starting to feel there's this whole other side to her,
like I... I
don't even know her anymore.
Yeah, but who's gonna rescue me?
Forget about happily ever after.
It doesn't exist.
And maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me.
Along the way, I've learned that you can't let anyone in too far
and you can't trust endlessly. The biggest mistake you can make is
to care or love someone more than yourself, because then you are
just setting yourself up for dissapointment. Boundaries are
necessary so that you can protect yourself, because once
you're broken, you'll never be fully fixed.
This should be easy, but my head gets in the way.
If it's meant to be, it can only be good.
And in Hollywood, all the stars'll know my name.

Weight isn’t important the way the magazines make you think it is.
I
know a girl who just looks at her face in the medicine cabinet mirror and
never looks below her shoulders and she’s four or five hundred
pounds
but she doesn’t see all that, she just sees a beautiful face and therefore
she thinks she’s a beauty. And therefore I think
she’s a beauty, too, because
I usually accept people on the basis of
their self-images, because their self-images
have more to do with the
way they think than their objective-images do.
Maybe she’s six hundred
pounds, who knows. If she doesn’t care, I don’t.
I'm not going anywhere. This is it for me.
You're it for me, and I can't pretend to feel any less than I do, I just can't.
You may have gotten your heart broken in the past, but it never lasts.
Ever feel alone in a group full of friends?
And I know I'm wasting my time,
but I don't mind.
Let go when you're hurting too much,
give up when love isn't enough,
move on when things aren't like before.
Surely there is someone out there who will love you more.
I don't miss you,
just who you used to be.
It's not who you are underneath,
it's what you do that defines you.
And why do we fall?
So we can learn to pick ourselves up.
Do you really think you can handle me?
When you're 16, logic and experience don't matter.
All that matters is the way you feel and the way
you felt the first time you knew it was love.
It's kind of fun to do the impossible.
I'm in love with you. I apologize for the blunt delievery,
but as problematic as this fact may be, I am in love with you.
And I'm not feeling this because you're leaving and not
because it feels good to feel this way, which, by the way, it does.
I can't figure out the mathematics of this. I just know I love you.
You make me happier than I ever thought I could be.
They've been asking, they've been searching,
they've been wondering where you've been.
Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always
beyond our
grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
I should have known that we'd never get anywhere.
You can't fall in
love when you're falling apart.
And you can't make amends if you're
only making mistakes.
Empty words can't fix a broken heart.
Blind eyes could look at me and see the truth.
Through the pencil I bleed and
leak on the sheet of the tablet.
You might as well live.
It is my responsibility as your best friend to
make sure you go do exciting things,
even when you don't want to.
It's like the beat was screaming, "Murder me,"
and I'm a murderer, so I murdered it.
All I need is one shot.
And family means no one gets left behind.
I close my eyes, inhale, and feel a rush of heat and energy
that takes my breath away. It's the feeling of wanting something
so much that it borders on an actual need, and the power
and urgency of this need overwhelms me.

I would have followed your advice to the
ends of the earth because I love you.
If you make choices based on other people's opinions,
you're gonna make a lot of boring decisions.
And you don't ring true,
so stop calling me.
Put up the peace sign, put your index finger down.
And these walls we build around
us just don't keep us warm.
Nothing else existed until I saw you.
Then everything changed and I fell in love with you.
And to think I no longer believed I could.
If you're safe about the choices you make, you don't grow.
I'm not good at future planning. I don't plan at
all.
I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow. I don't have a day planner
and I don't have a diary.
I completely live in the now, not in the
past, not in the future.
People think that if you love someone hard enough,
things will just work out. Well people are wrong.
I only do this because I'm having fun.
The day I stop having fun, I'll just walk away.
You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
Follow me and you'll never have to wish again.
I'll tell you where to steer.
You'll tell me where to steer.
Don't waste your time asking why such an amazing thing could happen to you.
Just let it happen. Don't doubt that could could be loved. Just let yourself be
loved. If you don't believe you're worth anyone's time, then you won't be.
Take yourself seriously and others will too. "Why" is such a wasteful question.
Why? Because that's the way it's supposed to be.
That's the only answer you'll get. Accept it.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck.
Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test
the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, life would be a smoothly paved, straight,
flat road to nowhere; safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.
At the end of the day, who will you be?
When life knocks you down, try to land on your back.
Because if you can look up, you can get up.
After awhile, you learn that you don’t need anyone else in order to survive.
No one is ever going to always be there, no matter what they say, or what they promise you.
You just gotta suck it up, andaccept it.
There's always that one that you always come back to...
No one deserves to be treated that way.
So even if you love him with your entire heart,
with every fiber of your being, with so much
passion that it hurts to think about it, you need to
forget what you want and remember what you deserve.
I'm not coming back. I'm closing the door.
Now baby, your picture's gone.
Couldn't stand to see your smile.
You know it's over when the burning and yearning
in your heart just isn't there anymore.
I wanna get lost in you.
We were trying different things,
we were smoking funny things,
making love besides the lake to our favorite song.
Sipping whiskey from the bottle,
not thinking about tomorrow.
Do you remember or should I rewind?
You didn't walk away from the people you loved.
You didn't run when things got complicated.
Moral
fiber. So, what is moral fiber? It's funny, I used to think it was
always telling the truth, doing good deeds, basically being a fucking
boy scout.
But lately I've been seeing it differently. Now I think
moral fiber's about finding
that one thing you really care about. That
one special thing that means more to
you than anything else in the
world. And when you find her, you fight for her.
You risk it all, you
put her in front of everything, your life, all of it. And maybe
the
stuff you do to help her isn't so clean. You know what? It doesn't
matter.
Because in your heart.. you know, that the juice is worth the
squeeze.
That's what moral fiber's all about.
Calm
is for losers. I've spent my whole life compromising and being a good
little girl and not doing what I want or doing what I want and hiding
it and
feeling guilty for doing it and I'm sick of it. I'm sick of it.
Nothing lasts forever, so let's be honest babe.
It hurts, but it may be the only way.
Let's rewrite an ending that fits.
They say I should stick to
someone who deserves me,
but I think you do.
Just say that you love me.
You'll never see me again, so now who's gonna cry for you?
I don't care about anything but you.
And as she drove away, she started to smile
and realized that she hadn't been happy in awhile.
No destination. She drove for miles wondering
why she had stayed in such denial.
Hate is easy. Love takes courage.
They say that good things take time.
But really great things happen in the blink of an eye.
You keep my feet on the ground.
He dug a hole and labeled it "Love"
and tricked me into falling from above.
I want someone to challenge me.
If you say the right things, you can make a boy do anything.
But I want the guy who sees past my bullshit,
who doesn't want to put up with my games.
I want someone to fight for me.
[c] quotedom
These times are so uncertain.
We all need a little tenderness.
How can love survive in such a graceless age?
And the trust and self assurance that lead to
happiness are the very things we kill, I guess.
I don't completely know who I am,
but I'm comfortable in my own skin.
If you can't trust, you can't love.
And I thought of all the bad luck,
and all the struggles we went through;
how I lost me and you lost you.
What are all these voices outside love's open door?
The more I know, the less I understand.
All the things I thought I figured out I had to learn again.
She's got a homemade sign that says,
"Go ahead, try to figure out what my future looks like."
If you can make a girl laugh,
you can make her do anything.
How can I believe that this is where we're meant to end?
I believe whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you... stranger.
Madness, as you know, is like gravity.
All it takes is a little push.
If you're good at something, never do it for free.
Don't look up at the stars anymore making wishes.
Everything you want is right here.
I've been waiting my whole life for the right guy to come along,
and then you showed up. And you're nothing like the man I imagined.
You're cynical and cranky and impossible. But the truth? Fighting with
you is the best thing that's ever happened to me. And I think there's
a very good chance that I'm falling in love with you.
Sometimes, you have to lose control to
find out what you've been missing.
I'm so tired of having to live without you.
Kissing and laughing,
a match made in heaven.
I'm short on money,
but long on time.
You think I'm losing, but I always get my way.
Because my heart's in it, and I'm never gonna quit it.
This is my life, and I don't care what other people think. I love him.
He's like a magnet.
It's out of my control.
The only thing I follow is my dreams.
Only if you feel such fullness can you really
understand the ache of being empty.
Should've known it was you all along.
Didn't know what I had until it was gone.
The right thing sets you up to be incredibly lonely sometimes.
The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most
wonderful
of the twenty-four hours. No matter how weary or dreary
you may feel,
you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies
before you,
absolutely anything may happen. And the fact that it
practically
always doesn't, matters not a jot. The possibility is always there.
I just want to see her smile again.
I just want her to know that I don't care about the scars.
He loves her more. She loves him more.
It seems like they'll never let each other go.
Because everyone harbors a secret
hatred for the prettiest girl in the room.
I'd give anything to be your everything.
I'm tired of sleeping only to dream of you.
I'll wait for you,
but I can't wait forever.
I can honestly say you've been
on my mind since I woke up today.
And I don't mind.
I don't believe that old cliche that good
things come to those who wait.
I think good things come to those who
want something so bad, they can't sit still.
And I put on our song, and through my tears, I sang along.
You're the vision of love that helped me survive.
Sleep is for dreamers.
I accept chaos.
I don't know whether it accepts me.
People are always talking about freedom.
Freedom to live a certain way,
without being kicked around.
'Course the more you live a certain way,
the less it feel like freedom.
Start walking right and pretty soon,
there's someone gonna drag you down.
A song is something that walks by itself.
But it's not that way.
I wasn't born to lose you.
I want you, I want you.
I want you so bad.
I've got love to keep me cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
I wanna get away.
I wanna fly away.
I need you. More than you'll ever know.
True friends is...
You cry, I cry. You fight, I fight.
You jump off a bridge...
I get a paddleboat and save your stupid ass.
I remember hearts that beat.
I remember you and me,
tangled in hotel sheets...
You wore me out.
I had to go all the way around just to figure
out how to get back where I started from.

Take a chance because you never know
how perfect something can turn out to be.
Eventually, everything will come together. Until then; live it up.
Do what makes you happy. If someone doesn't agree, fuck them.
Pick yourself up and deal when shit happens. Remember that our mistakes
only make us stronger, everything happens for a reason, the only regrets in
life are the risks you never take and well-behaved women rarely make history.
Above all else, go with your gut, but guard your heart.
But what she hates the most is when someone
walks into her life knowing that they can't stay.
We forgive and forget. We live.
But most importantly, we love.
If you can't laugh at yourself, life's gonna
seem far much longer than you'd like.
[c] quotedom
How can you move on if you're still living in the past? And how can
you step forward, leaving the past behind if you can't even begin to
forgive what the past holds? How can you love someone for who
they are yet want to hate them for what they've done? I guess that
what it boils down to is this: there are always those defining moments,
times that make us or break us, build us or tear us apart, help us progress
further or stop us dead in our tracks. And for whichever way we may choose,
there's a consequence of equal value. It's a true test of what we stand for,
where we came from, and where we are going. These are moments that
we live for, breathe for, and fight for. These are the defining moments that
leave imprints forever in our hearts, making our souls forever. These are
choices that could bring you one step closer to forever or leaving you hostage
to the past. I guess in order to move on from the past, you must learn to forgive it.
And forgiving may mean letting go.
When you first fall in love, you
can't eat, you can't sleep
and getting a call from him, it makes your
day.
It's like seeing a shooting star.
I used to rule the world.
Seas would rise when I gave word.
I don't know what hurts most, baby;
seeing you with her or being alone, on my own.
I'm so addicted to all the things you do,
all the things you do to me between the sheets.
A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking Jack and
Coke
all morning. She can make you feel high full of the single
greatest commodity
known to man - promise. Promise of a better day.
Promise of a greater hope.
Promise of a new tomorrow. This particular
aura can be found in the gait of a
beautiful girl. In her smile, in her
soul, the way she makes every rotten little thing
about life seem like
it's going to be okay. The supermodels? That's all they are.
Bottled promise. Scenes from a brand new day. Hope dancing in stiletto
heels.
This is a mockery, this is a sham, this is bullshit.
Implants,
collagen, plastic, capped teeth, the fat sucked out,
the hair extended,
the nose fixed, the bush shaved... These are not real women.
They're beauty freaks. And they make all us normal women with our
wrinkles,
our puckered boobs and our cellulite feel somehow
inadequate.
Well I don't buy it, all right?
Darian: You can slip into something more comfortable...
Tommy: Like what?
Darian: Like me.
But the feelings are returning
though time has made us change.
You put me through so many emotions.
But baby, that's besides the fact.
You said I was the best,
but you gave your love out to the rest.
Now that it's going good for me,
you say you wanna be with me.
I told you you'd live to regret letting me go.
How can you settle for her when you haven't given me a chance?
His backseat was piled so high with stuff that he
couldn't see out the rearview mirror. But that was okay by her.
She wasn't planning on looking back anyway.
And everytime we fight, we're getting closer.
All I know is that I'm madly in love with you, right now,
this instant. I don't know where either of us will be or how we'll
feel next October or five years from now. Or for however
long we're around. I can't make promises.
Where others walk, we like to fly.
You have a sexy voice.
Is there anything else I can do for you?
To you?
I'm all wrapped up in love,
tangled in those sweet words you said.
When the world is
telling you to run away,
run to me.
