’ wait, how did i even get on the street ? '
’ a couple couples see me fall all over, but none of them cares. '
‘ i wonder what you think. ’
‘ your life will be the same, but i am not the same. ’
’ i dream about a time many years ago, back when things were better in many ways. '

’ it might be safer for you to walk to school, but you’ll never be as cool as raul julia heading to rehearsal in the fall. '

’ i’m playing the whore and the wife, but that’s fine. i don’t wanna play the princess anyway. '

’ please let it be understood that even if i could, i wouldn’t wanna play the princess anyway. '
’ confidence is not a skill i learned. '
’ they get pretty far playing rough, but i kinda wish i was that tough. i mean, i’m fine. '
’ i mean, i’d do it as a joke. '
’ i’m allergic to flowers. '
’ i bet she’s not allergic to flowers. '
’ as much as i do hate to say, i think that it’s sorta okay, if she wants to be that way. '
’ she had potential. '
’ i think it’s worth a shot. '
’ yeah, you should’ve heard the cheering in the place. '
’ her skin was in a mushy pile of blood in the middle of the floor. '
’ it’s amazing how quick things can move when unique’s not in the way. '
’ there’s no more passion. she just sees it as logistics. '
’ see, the star don’t need a mouth. she just needs a name. '
’ her stratospheric rise and fall is nothing new. '
’ somebody help ! '
’ she just keeps crying on and on and on. '
’ she was usually screaming anyway, so her yelling didn’t cause dismay. no one checked on her for at least a day. '
’ here’s the moral of the story: if all you do is just sing loud and high, when you die nobody cares. '
’ it doesn’t feel good. '
’ things are just weird. '
’ words don’t come easy for me, i can’t really explain. '
’ how could you leave me this way ? '
’ what you’ve done to me is wrong. it’s been your fault all along. '
’ i promise i won’t. but if i did, would you be mad ? '
’ you’ve got no heart. '
’ you’ve got no soul. '
’ your brain is what is wrong. '
’ i don’t care if you can’t or you can. if you can’t say it to my face, then you’re no kind of man. '
’ hey, at least change my fucking name when you goddamn write your song about me. '
’ all the mistakes that he made about the girl don’t bother him as much as everybody things. '
’ all the mistakes that he made about the girl are different from the mistakes he makes when he drinks. '
’ i’d bet you’d like to think he’s got so many regrets, but the way he sees it, he did nothing wrong. '
’ the anger and the objects he would hurt were not the things that made life unlivable. '
’ so what if he had trouble letting down his guard ? it wasn’t his fault she was so quick to feel. '
’ she’d melt every time that he’d sing. '
’ what are you scared of ? '
’ yes, there were mistakes. but it doesn’t matter anymore because she’s not coming back. '
’ all the mistakes that he made about the girl keep fucking with his life in such surprising ways. '
’ he likes to think that if he had to do it again, he could fix the things that he did all wrong and he’s not the same as he was back then. '
’ the one thing that’s totally clear is he wishes she was still here. '
’ he tries to be different, but he’s still out of touch. '
’ well, that’s what i would do if it were me. but it’s obviously not. '
’ i’m filled with sorrows in a million ways. '
’ i hate today. '
’ i’m just not meant for these times. '
’ i try to be like other guys and everybody rolls their eyes. '
’ i pretend that i don’t care. '
’ most people think i’m weird. '
’ all my friends have disappeared. or i guess they were never there. '
’ my social life would be on fire if only i was born sixty years prior. '
’ everybody on their phone makes me feel so all alone. '
’ life is complicated, things don’t go as planned. people act in ways that i don’t understand. '
’ it all came crashing down through no fault of my own. '
’ i tried to fit in and they told me i could not. '
’ the outside world is overrated by a lot. '
’ i’ll build a fort all by myself, alone. '
’ man, it sucks that there is no one who really understands me. '
’ if you try to enter, you will be denied. '
' i have been away so long, been afraid to show my face. but i'm a man now. '
' i'm not a man, i'm just a shape. '
' everything looks weird and new. '
' i went back to the old house. it was crumbling like a grave. '
' if i can't get you back today, i'm gonna make this whole town pay. '
' welcome home. '
' i let you take advantage of me because i like it when you shove me. i know it makes you feel good. '
' although it is understood that you'll be the death of me, still, i got the sympathy for the killer. '
' i'm grateful every time you choose me. '
' we agreed to our roles, and we may not be couple goals. . . '
' darling, i'm a dying breed. '
' danger is impending, i can guess the ending. i should run. '
' poor, poor baby. '
' i let you take advantage of me, it's how you show me that you love me. '
' i'm glad that you're in my life. '
' here's where you put the knife. '
' darling, sweetie, look at me. '
' i try to focus on the work, but it's hell. '
' i try to not just go berserk, but that is not going well. '
' these days it's harder than it seems to ignore that she's accomplished all my dreams then some more. '
' i know that jealousy should not be allowed in my heart, but then i see a poster of her and i've got to just rip it apart. '
' i try to channel all this hate into good. '
' i wanna sing about hope, about faith, about loving and persevering. '
' i wanna sing about me and you. '
' my psychotherapist is great. well, except, when she's not. '
' she says i must eliminate this fixation i got. '
' i swear, someone would think i'm ill if this didn't make sense. '
' it's not lost on me you're here at my show. with your support, i try to let my anger go. '
' as i look out at your face, i can tell you'd rather be with her. '
' i'm gonna sing until the anger and jealousy, illness and horror, just numbs me. '
' without her, i would not survive. '
' she feeds me, comforts me, she is my family. '
' my thoughts start to splinter and she keeps me sane. '
' you say she's not my type, but i don't think you understand. '
' she's not the one who keeps me here. no, i am the one who wants her near. '
' i could leave her if i choose. '
' it's not like i wanna quit. ’
‘ i just pull away a bit. . . she does not like that very much. '
' thanks for all you gave, but i am not your slave. '
' she burns me and beats me and ties me to bed. '
' she loves me, she hates me. '
' aw, shucks, it's no big deal. '
' i mean, it's not like i didn't know that this was your m.o. '
' if i'm buying beer, you're dear and kind. but if i'm not near, you're deaf and blind. '
' i try to not hang on too tight, but if i don't you'll just take flight. '
' i hate you until we reunite. '
' it aggravates the piss outta me, 'cause i thought we had a history. '
' doesn't it count for something ? '
' if you knew just how bad that it hurt, you'd be ashamed of yourself. '
' if you knew just how hard i cried, you wouldn't look in the mirror. '
' i know you're really not that bad of a man and that's what makes it all worse. '
' if you can't really see all you've been putting me through, i hope you try. at least try. '
' safe travels. '
' the saddest thing about having one leg is that it isn't the saddest thing about me. '
' it's becoming clear everybody does fine without me. '
' condescending pity's not my fave. '
' i'm just being real. no need to smile or frown or get all pouty and weepy. '
' he don't have to be from france, i just want somebody to spoon with. '
' see, i have never been touched. '
' ew, get away. '
' he don't have to taste like honey, he can be a fuckin' slob ! '
' i don't want a rose, and i don't want the moon. all i want is a dude who'd be down for a really, really good spoon. '
' i just want her to feel alright. '
' we all get a little sad sometimes. '
' i want to watch her chew her food. '
' we all act a little bad sometimes. '
' if you rearrange the letters in both our names, you get one away from normal. '
' we're not in love, i wish we were. '
' i can tell you're hungry and you need some food, and if i didn't offer, i'd be awfully rude. '
' baby, let's go to bed. '
' the moonlight taunts me. '
' now i have to run away from you. '
' i'll be back here in the morning. '
' if you could see me, you'd be frightened half to death, even if you knew the motions i was going through i'd done a thousand times. '
' there are times i don't feel as guilty as i should. '
' i'll seem innocent as ever. '
' please try to be discreet. '
' feed your filthy hunger, but clean up the evidence. '
' i say it's just because i love you so much, but i think we both know that's a lie. '
‘ i’m sorry for the times i ran away. ’
' there won't be no snow, won't be no joy, because i had to go and be a naughty little boy. '
' she shed a tear when i said she wouldn't see me on the 25th this year. '
' i committed a crime at christmas time, so i won't be coming home. '
' i'll serve my time, unless santa stuffs my stocking with a pick-axe and a file. '
' i never cared for christmas much before. '
' now i'd atone, i'd scream amen, if it meant i'd get to taste my mama's stuffing once again. '
' they tell me that my songs have gone out of style. '
' what else you got ? '
' if you'd come in here in '73, you're the kind that i would have signed instantly. but it's now, not then. '
' they don't like my sound. they tell me my singing's out of style. '
' i remind him of a girl who used to work in this place. she made it big. '
' i could smell the alcohol upon her breath. '
' they were friends but kind of competitive. '
' they were real new yorkers down to the core. '
' things in new york are temporary. you can beg it to stop changing, but it won't. '
' remember the thing you once admired. '
' you're used to thinking about him in a certain way from the persona that he displayed. then something changes, and he changes from a guy that you'd never be into into a guy that you'd kinda be into. '
' i don't always relate to other people my age, except when i'm on the stage. '
' why am i telling this to you ? i guess there's a part of me that wants to. who knew ? '
' i've got a little problem that's really got me low. i've got a crush on this beautiful boy, but nobody can know. '
' if we were ever seen together in public, my friends would scream and mother would die. '
' his hair is dirty and he paints his nails black. '
' he curses like he's got tourette's, and he tokes and smokes clove cigarettes, and i'm in love. '
' we're like mickey d's and fine wine. '
' in that instant, i saw, i knew that his nipples were pierced, but his heart was too. '
' he's in love and he wants me to know. '
‘ i’m in love. ’
' it's no big thing, i swear. '
' i was bored and she was there. '
' you wanna talk a while ? '
' i went because i was feeling--- well, no, feeling's not the right word. no, i went because i was crying. well, not crying, more like choking. '
' what's happening to me ? '
' sometimes i think about something that i can't stop thinking about. '
' i care so much it scares me. '
' i mean, it's just like, whatever. '
' i fell in love in juvie hall. '
' i used to freak, i used to cry. i wanted to kill, wanted to die. '
' would an angel such as she ever get with me ? '
' the way she looked at me in anger therapy... it made all my defenses fall. '
' i just gotta tell you that, um, i think you're pretty fine. it's not just your looks, it's everything about you. '
' people say that i got too many feelings for one little body. '
' there's a crazy little dance that's sweeping the nation. '
' it's an easy little cure for your frustration. '
' now it's time for everyone to dance with me ! '
' i hope your body's feeling limber ! '
' when you get made fun of at school, they'll tell you them bullies are jealous and stupid because you're so cool. '
' when it's time to go to prom, they'll give you a condom and a shot of binaca. '
' you're the bomb. '
' they'll made disapprove a little and grit their teeth, but they will understand what's underneath. '
' they love you so much that they will tolerate all the silly crap you say. '
' i heard him coming from miles away. '
' we'll be friends until the day we die. '
' that's nice, you say i'm a stand up guy even though i have terrible scoliosis. '
' have you been taking dance classes ? '
' we very rarely fight. '
' when life gets tough or too intense, i know he's got my back. '
' i love it that you have skin. '
' i love you, you old bag of bones. '
' it always seems like i'm out of place. '
' everybody screams when they see my face. '
' i try best at the latest fashion, but my issues still feel unresolved. '
' my awkwardness is so distinct. '
' i wonder why i'm still alive. '
' i'm beautiful. i'm perfect too. '
' i'm a celebration of time and modulation. '
' i am confident in who i'll become. '
' honey, don't be dumb. '
' who i am currently isn't who i am gonna be. '
' i don't care and i don't mind, but what if this transition is the thing by which i am defined ? '
' i think i'm starting to forget his face. '
' i think i'm starting to forget his hands. the way they looked, the way they felt when holding mine. i think i remember they felt strong, but i can't be sure, it's been so long. '
' he gave me a kiss and whispered something to me, but i can't remember what he said. '
' don't you fall down now, you're almost to the other side. '
' if you don't pull through, you're gonna scar the children who had faith in you. '
' as you're choking on a cloud, think of just how freaking loud they will scream when you've returned. '
' every compliment you field is another wound that's healed. '
' my power's gone. i need to pay the bill to get it turned back on. '
' i think how lately i just feel beat down and tired. the motivation's not the same, my drive's expired. '
' i can't dance in the rain because i'll corrode and rust up. '
' i wish i was flesh and bone. '
' i know that next to them i just look like an appliance. '
' i keep keeping everybody at an arm's length. '
' i'm more than some discarded steel. '
' i can freak out and feel, i think that that means that i'm real. '
' i threw out my tickets to the opera because nobody wanted to go. '
' i thought i'd just sit here contently. '
' i'm gonna put a party hat on my cat. '
' we'll be laughing and doing the lindy, and i'll be the belle of all things. '
' you back the hell up. i don't want no part of that. '
' why do i do this ? '
' it's better than living in a dumpster ! '
‘ you are quite something. ’
‘ that’s what my therapist says ! ’
' you better thank your lucky stars that i exist. '
' i'm hanging around and dreaming of chicks. '
' i would thrive in the caribbean. '
' sometimes my mom forgets to feed me. '
' they don't understand when i make a noise or when i try to escape or break my toys, that's just how i communicate. '
' he was supposed to be watching me, but he was stoned. '
' when he slept, i went through all of his stuff. i found pills, and a gun, bit a beer, bit a snuff. '
' you're the best. '
' we love how you play. '
' i was nervous and nerdy and totally shy. '
' this is better than anything else. '
' my acne is gone and my mom's not divorced, and it's all good. '
‘ it hasn’t all been perfect, but it’s been better than anything else. ’
' i'm gonna find the bastard, get my woman back, and be with her again beneath the setting sun. '
' they done me wrong, i've been abused. '
' revenge has long since been defused. '
' the only thing i know how to do is to live and breathe and die for you. '
‘ no one else would understand. ’
' i would never last on land. '
' the rules that we've invented allow us all to play. '
' when exits are presented, we stay. '
' there's so many strangers there. '
' everybody lives so far apart. '
' we find the solution to escape our fates. '
' i don't know where i'd be if you weren't here with me. '
' lord, what would i do if i didn't have you ? '
' someone else's success is not your failure. '
' hey, it's okay. i still love you. '
' if life don't give you what you need, just try and try again. '
' you gotta know that even though it's so cliche, you must go on with the show. '
' just dust yourself off, honey, and respect that that was a sign. '
' if your suicide goes bust, then you absolutely must not try again. '
' fuck those bastards, find a friend. '
