“I wanted to curl up into a fetal position and start sucking my thumb, let my tears and dripping saliva pool under me. Sorry. I tried living, tried being sentient. Can't do it. Can't live in the same universe with that.”

“I tried so hard to fight the endless sobbing. I remember asking myself one night, while I was curled up in the same old corner of my same old couch in tears yet again over the same old repetition of sorrowful thoughts, “Is there anything about this scene you can change, Liz?” And all I could think to do was stand up, while still sobbing, and try to balance on one foot in the middle of my living room. Just to prove that - while I couldn’t stop the tears or change my dismal interior dialogue - I was not yet totally out of control. At least I could cry hysterically while balanced on one foot. Hey, it was a start.”

“Listen to me, Blaire. If you try to go anywhere I will chase you down. I will become your shadow. I won't let you out of my sight because I can't live without you. I made so many damn mistakes with you I don't even want to try and count them but I am going to start making things right from here on out.”

“Try to tell me what I shouldn't doYou should know by now,I won't listen to youWalk around with my hands up in the airCause I don't careCause I'm alright, I'm fineJust freak out, let it goI'm gonna live my lifeI can't ever run and hideI won't compromiseCause I'll never knowI'm gonna close my eyesI can't watch the time go byI won't keep it insideFreak out, let it goJust freak out, let it goYou don't always have to do everything rightStand up for yourselfAnd put up a fightwalk around with your hands up in the airLike you don't careCause I'm alright, I'm fineJust freak out, let it goI'm gonna live my lifeI can't ever run and hideI won't compromiseCause I'll never knowI'm gonna close my eyesI can't watch the time go byI won't keep it insideFreak out, let it goOn my ownLet it goYeah, yeah, yeahJust let me live my lifeI can't ever run and hideI won't compromiseCause I'll never knowI'm gonna close my eyesI can't watch the time go byI won't keep it insideFreak out, let it goGonna freak out, let it goGonna freak out, let it go”

“I hear the unmistakable sound of glass breaking and I start apologizing to no one, trying to pick it up again, but I can't. I can't get my hands to work because they're too cold.”

“I watched the tears run down her cheeks and start to drip from the end of her chin. One part of me wanted to put my arms round her but I daren't. Do that and I'd never be able to let her go.”
