Still breathing, for what it's worth

When I'm buried in the ground
I won't be able to make your birthday drinks but I will still feel guilty
You see, when the air warms up like this
It brings every single memory of you back and it makes me so sick, I can't breathe
Except I am still breathing, aren't I?
Sometimes I think that's the problem

- Self Esteem, I Do This All The Time

Always

If I get one love

only get one love

then I choose you

then I choose you

- Estrons, Cameras

 

The only woman to me

She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes
And she can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child but she's always a woman to me

- Billy Joel, She's Always A Woman

I've been waiting such a long time

And I can't tell you that I'm wasted
And I can't tell you that I'm wasted on you
And I think about your body
How it's wasting

how it's wasting
And I'm wasted telling jokes to you
'Cause you can't hear me

you can't hear me
You can't hear a word I'm saying
And you're not here
But your body is getting closer every day

 
And I wade

 

Until I'm knee deep in water, I can't breathe
And I can never tеll you that I've had enough
And I can nevеr make it stop
And I can't tell you that I'm wasted on you

 

So I wade deeper
Plunge my head into the water
Sink into it, rise above it
Climb into the sky, I love it
I love it

 

Do you ever think about
Who you were then and who you are now?

 

And I miss you but I'll never ever,

ever

ever

ever.... 

- Porridge Radio, 7 Seconds

Scream into the void

You said

this would be
The last time you'd ever hurt me
You said

this would be the last time I'd ever cry
Last time

I didn't know
How was I supposed to know
This time

I found it
I know how to scream

I don't owe you anything
I'm not part of you
You can't take away everything
I'm not part of you

- Sleater-Kinney, The Last Song

 

History doesn't teach; it makes dumb

 I guess maybe it was naive, but I thought that together we could let go of all that baggage.

- Lisa, House Of Cards, ch. 32
