That’s why it’s the most terrifying thing in the world, really—taking someone on faith, hoping they’ll take you on faith too.
It’s such a precarious balance, it’s a wonder we do it at all. And yet....
Sunday
She believed in dreams
When Prince Charming didn’t come along, she went over to the palace and got him.
History can't be hidden
History can't be hidden.
Throw in any exes who've had a past together into a room, and you'll notice.
Friction can't be hidden.
Sometimes people are just meant to be.
love wasn't about sacrifice
But love wasn't about sacrifice, and it wasn't about falling short of someone's expectations.
By definition, love made you better than good enough; it redefined perfection to include your traits, instead of excluding them.
in a car with a beautiful boy
You're in a car with a beautiful boy, and he won't tell you that he loves you, but he loves you.
And you feel like you've done something terrible, like robbed a liquor store, or swallowed pills, or shoveled yourself a grave in the dirt, and you're tired.
You're in a car with a beautiful boy, and you're trying not to tell him that you love him, and you're trying to choke down the feeling, and you're trembling, but he reaches over and he touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist, and you feel your heart taking root in your body, like you've discovered something you didn't even have a name for.
one real tragedy
There is only one real tragedy in a woman's life.
The fact that her past is always her lover, and her future invariably her husband.
The fact that her past is always her lover, and her future invariably her husband.
Love was an idea
Love was an idea.
Nothing more or less.
If you lost the idea, if you somehow forgot it, the person you loved became a stranger.
She thought of all those movies about amnesiacs where they don't even know their own spouse.
Love lives in the memory. It can be forgotten....
But it can also be remembered.
Kisses open doors
Kisses open doors, I've noticed.
That one gesture can unlock secrets, ease open feelings.
It can't be prevented--these kisses just are.
It's how they work.
They break into basements you never knew you had.
the world matters
People always say that, when you love someone, nothing in the world matters.
But that's not true, is it?
You know, and I know, that when you love someone, everything in the world matters a little bit more.
nothing sucks more
I don't think people are meant to be by themselves.
That's why if you actually find someone you care about, it's important to let go of the little things, even if you can't let go all the way.
Because nothing sucks more than feeling all alone, no matter how many people are around you.
group of drunken friends
In every group of drunken friends, there’s the one who turns into a major flirt,
The sloppy pissed drunk, the one who takes random walks to no where alone drunk,
The "i love you" drunk and the one who doesn’t even get drunk and has to mind everyone else.
Saturday
Sat on your sofa
Sat on your sofa, it's all broken springs
This isn't the place for, those violin strings
I try out a smile, and I aim it at you
You must have missed it
You always do
I am at your house
I am at your house
So I belong to you for now
Trying to impress you
But lord I don't know how
I can be a statue if you want me to
I'm not being difficult I just need to know the truth
there's no one around
We've only ever kissed lying down
We've only ever touched
When there's no one else around
I can be elusive if you want me to
I'm not being intrusive
I just wish I knew the truth
too complicated
it's just too complicated you know
they see me as this girl they can talk to
who they go to with every problem
they don't understand I’m struggling
struggling just to breath
got my heart broken once
no one knows
he doesn't even know talking to him still brings a smile on my face
he doesn't know i look at his name
with a stupid smile on my face
he doesn't know what he does to me
to him it's over when for me it never really did
maybe it never will
It was real, wasn't it?
It was real, wasn't it?
You and me.
Such a long time ago we were just a couple of kids.
But we really loved each other, didn't we?
a way to be happy
Look, I'm going to find a way to be happy, and I'd really love to be happy with you.
But if I can't be happy with you, then I'll find a way to be happy without you.
don't name this
Just please don't name this, please don't explain this, just blame it all on me.
Say I was shameless, say I couldn't slow it down, let alone stop it.
can't force a feeling
Because you can't make someone care when they don't.
You can't force a feeling; you can't make someone stay when all they want to do is leave.
don't wanna love you
And I'm always gonna love you.
But I don't want to love you.
I wanna be happy.
put on a happy face
I'm sad, hurt, angry, mad, disappointed.
But you know what?
But you know what?
I'll put on a happy face and move on.
It will hurt but i will survive
one little secret
that no one, not even your best friend, knows about you
only live once
I've learned a lot since I came down upon this world, one of those things is I have to enjoy my life, see the pleasure in every single little thing, instead of letting myself be torn apart by emotions or bad times, enjoy life, I only live once..
too pretty to be single
Someone said to me "you're too pretty to be single"
I said "no, I'm too pretty to be lied to, cheated on, and played with
I said "no, I'm too pretty to be lied to, cheated on, and played with
Thursday
Monday
i fell deeply in love
the first time i looked in your eyes i fell deeply in love,
it's been a few years but you still have me and probably always will,
everytime i see you my heart aches like it never did before.
Thursday
the words start flowing
and there's where i seem to fuck up for a minute there I lose my senses
And in the heat of the moment my mouth's starts going the words start flowing
Sunday
Don’t get your hopes up
Don’t get your hopes up,
Don’t make too much of stuff that don't really matter
Live your life and that's all
Enjoy this harder cause we'll all die eventually
We just don't know when and how so stop all that you’re doing
And just LIVE
Don’t make too much of stuff that don't really matter
Live your life and that's all
Enjoy this harder cause we'll all die eventually
We just don't know when and how so stop all that you’re doing
And just LIVE
Sweetheart, you can't bullshit me
See I've lied to myself enough to know when someone else is doing it.
So let's try this again, and how about the truth this time?
This is me letting go
Cause after all, everyone has to learn from their mistakes, and you were
just one of the many that I’ll make.
I built you up so high your head was in the clouds.
Too bad you didn’t look down.
And no matter how much
you claim I mean to you as a friend, or whatever I am to you,
sometimes you just fuck up and can’t go back.
cry, laugh, and smile
but i guess that's just what happens when a boy gives you mixed signals
love, alcohol & friends
understand me completely
In the years afterward, I flew whenever somebody began to understand me.
That has subsided, but one thing remained:
I don’t want anybody to understand me completely.
I want to go through life unknown.
The blindness of others is my safety and my freedom.
she would’ve learned
that he’s simply now worth her time.
But there she goes again, trying to win his heart.
She just can’t let go
he could never compare to you
and since we're being honest,i feel I should tell you, i've been fillng up the mepty space bewteen you and I.between you and me, he could never compare to you
