"and now i've replayed a thousand times exactly what was said, cause nothing is as it appears in the funhouse mirrors
of your fears with your hands above your head"
(ani difranco)
"But the last one I had
Who was getting my hopes up
I might have been a little fast to dismiss
I think he let me down when he didn't disappoint me
He didn't always guess right but he usually got my gist."
(fiona apple)
"well i guess that i was lonely,
that's why i called you on the phone,
cause in a moment of forgiveness,
i didn't want to be alone."
(indigo girls)
"and so it is, just like you said it would be,
we'll both forget the breeze, most of the time.
and so it is, the colder water, the blowers daughter,
the pupil in denial.
did i say that i loathe you?
did i say that i want to leave it all behind?"
(damien rice)
"i've seen fire and i've seen rain, i've seen sunny days that i thought would never end. i've seen lonely times
when i could not find a friend, but i always thought i'd see you again."
(james taylor)
I knew that to keep in touch would do me deep in dutch
'Cause it isn't the rush of remembering, it's just mush
And that signature thing is only growing harrowing
I should have no trouble now to keep from following."
(fiona apple)
"you're so lame, you always dissapoint me.
it's kind of like our running joke, but it's really not funny.
i just want you to live up to the image of you i create,
i see you and i'm so unsatisfied,
i see you and i dialate."
(ani difranco)
"tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions,
oh lets go back to the start.
running in circles, coming in tales,
heads are a science apart.
nobody said it was easy.
it's such a shame for us to part.
no one ever said it was easy no one ever said it would be this hard, oh take me back to the start."
(coldplay)
"you tried to make me doubt, tried to make me guess, tried to make me feel like a little less, oh i like you when
your soul was bared, i thought you knew how to be scared, and now it's amazing what you did to make me stay, but truth is
like is just like time it catches up and it just keeps going"
(dar williams)
"i remember when i met you and i knew right from the start, i thought one day you'd probably just come home and break
my heart."
(indigo girls)
"i could never love again so much as i love you."
(dave matthews band)
"i'm sorry i didn't sound more excited on the phone.
i'm sorry that after all these years, you left me unrequieted and alone, brought you to tears.
i guess i never loved you quite as well as the way you loved me,
i guess i'll never really be able to tell you how sorry i am."
(ani difranco)
"most of your life goes on without me,
oh the fear i've known,
that i might reap the praise of strangers,
and end up on my own."
(indigo girls)
"And it seems to be that maybe
pretty much always means no,
So don't tell me,
I might just let it go."
(jack johnson)
"too much is how i love you,
but too well is how i know you"
(ani difranco)
"i've never been so insulted in all my life,
i could swallow the seas to wash down all this pride,
first you run like a fool just to be at my side,
and now you run like a fool, but you just run to hide,
and i can't abide."
(fiona apple)
"and now i think of having loved and having lost but never know what it feels like to never love, who can say what's
better when my hearts become the cost, a mere token of a brighter jewel sent from above."
(indigo girls)
"it's getting to the point where i can be myself again, i think it's getting to the point where we have almost made
amends, i think it's getting to the point that is the hardest part, and if you call, i will answer, and if you fall, i'll
pick you up, and if you court this disaster, i'll point you home."
(barenaked ladies)
"i used to be a superhero,
no one could touch me,
not even myself,
you are like a phone booth that i somehow stumbled into, now look at me, i am just like everybody else."
(ani difranco)
"i'm all right, i'm all right
it only hurts when i breathe."
(melissa etheridge)
"and so i'm leaving, you can find out how much better things can get, and if it helps, i'd say i feel a little worse
than i did when we met."
(dar williams)
"we talked up all night and still came to no conclusion,
we started the fight that ended in silent confusion."
(indigo girls)
"so darlin i just wanna say, just in case i don't come through, i was on to every play, i just wanted you."
(fiona apple)
"she's perfect,
so flawless,
i'm not impressed."
(john mayer)
"and maybe you can keep me from ever being happy,
but you're not gonna stop me from having fun."
(ani difranco)
"for every strange and bitter moment there was never a better time, for every pleasure exacts it's pain.
how you hurt me, how you were good to me."
(indigo girls)
"fuck what i said, it don't mean shit now
fuck all the presents might as well through em out,
fuck all those kisses, it didn't mean jack,
fuck you, you how, i don't want you back."
(eamon)
"but oh, it's so evil my love,
the way you've no reverence for my concern,
so i'll be sure to stay weary of you love,
to save the pain of once my flame and twice my burn."
(fiona apple)
"i guess that's how you started,
like a pinprick to my heart,
but at this point you rush right through me
and i start to drown.
and there's not enough room in this world for my pain, signals cross and love gets lost
and time passed makes it plain;
of all my demon spirits,
i need you the most,
i'm in love with your ghost."
(indigo girls)
"it's been one week since you looked at me,
cocked your head to the side and said 'i'm angry,'
five days since you laughed at me saying 'get that together, come back and see me,'
three days since the living room when i realized it's all my fault but couldn't tell you,
yesterday you'd forgiven me but it'll still be two days till i say i'm sorry"
(barenaked ladies)
"to tell you the truth, i prefer the worst of you.
too bad you had to have a better half."
(ani difranco)
"the grass was greener, the light was brighter, when friends surrounded the nights of wonder"
(pink floyd)
"just don't treat me like i am something that happened to you."
(ani difranco)
"by keeping her heart protected,
she'll never be rejected."
(kelly clarkson)
"and when the crowd becomes your burden,
and you've early closed your curtain,
i'll wait by the backstage door.
while you try to find the lines to speak your mind,
and pry it open, waiting for an encore,
and if it gets too late for me to wait,
for you to find you love me, and tell me so,
it's okay, you don't need to say it."
(fiona apple)
"then she kissed me and i realized
she was right,
there must be 50 ways to leave your lover."
(paul simon)
"there is nothing you can say or do
i've come to let you know
i'm through with you."
(maroon 5)
"when i say you sucked my brain out,
the english translation is
i am in love with you and it is no fun."
(ani difranco)
"if it's over, let it go because tomorrow it will seem so yesterday, so yesterday, i'm just a bird that's already
flown away."
(hillary duff)
"get out, right now, it's the end of you and me,
it's too late, and i can't wait
for you to be gone.
cause i know about her,
and I wonder how I bought all the lies.
You said that you would treat me right
but you was just a waste of time."
(jojo)
"you've got some kind of nerve
coming back here for more
like i'm just going to drop everything
so you can humiliate me a little more."
(melissa ferrick)
"when you kiss me like a lover
then you sting me like a viper
i go to follow to the river
play your memory like a piper"

not much to say,
hearts are broken every day."

"since you've been gone,
i can breathe for the first time."
(kelly clarkson)

and you were in the wrong place at the wrong time."
(ani difranco)

the path is clear to follow through.
i stood too long in the way of the door
and now i'm giving up on you."
(fiona apple)
"and i would like to state for the record i did everything that i could do."
(ani difranco)
"you can say you're torn but i've heard enough.
thank you--you made my mind up for me,
when you started to ignore me, do you see a single tear? it's not gonna happen here, at least not today."
(hillary duff)
"ain't it scary sometimes to find the lies that you know to be true, i'll find you smiling about things you don't
have to do."

like the way i do."

soundly."

she's got similar features with longer hair
and if that's what it takes to get you through
go on and close your eyes, it shouldn't bother you."

then it turned out
to be a pain in the ass."

i can't seem to losen my grip on the past.
and i miss you so much, there's no one in sight.
and we're still making love in my secret life."
(leonard cohen)
"i stood out on the porch thinking
fight fight fight at all costs,
but instead i let you in,
just like i've always done,
and i sat you down and offered you a beer.
and across the kitchen table,
i fired several rounds,
but you were still sitting there when the smoke cleared." (ani difranco)
