“I plan on growing old much later in life, or maybe not at all.”

“Somehow they stayed that wayFor those 5 days in MayMade all the stars around them shineFunny how you can look in vainLiving on nerves and such sweet painThe loneliness that cuts so fineTo find the face you've seen a thousand times”

“Somebody waits for the time I know will never comeYou get yourself so highThen you come down feeling blueOne day you’ll wake up and realize you’ve had enoughThere’s a thousand shining momentsWaiting just to happen to you”

“Sometimes the world beginsTo set you up on your feet againIt wipes the tears from your eyesHow will you ever knowThe way that circumstances goAlways going to hit you by surpriseI know my pastYou were thereIn everything I've doneYou are the one”

Everyone's the same, least I ain't got money worries or nothing. I just don't know what I'm doing, everything's too hard. I can try and try forever but I can't be good enough for no one so what the fuck's the point?”
