- "And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe, the light I never knowed, i'm on the dark side of the road."
- "But I wish there was something you would do or say to try and make me change my mind and stay. We never did too much talking anyway, so don't think twice, it's all right."
- "I once loved a woman, a child, i'm told. I gave her my heart, she wanted my soul; but don't think twice, it's all right."
- "So long, honey babe. Where I'm bound, I can't tell. Goodbye is too good a word, babe, so i'll just say fare thee well."
- "I ain't saying you treated me unkind; you could have done better, but I don't mind. You just kinda wasted my precious time, but don't think twice, it's all right."
- "I don't need any help to be breakable, believe me, I know nobody else who can laugh along to any kind of joke. I won't need any help to be lonely when you leave me.”
- “I'm not stupid, I swear. I read the foreign news to understand my nation.”
- “I'm just trying to stay in touch with anything I'm still in touch with.”
- "And with the black banners raised, as the crooked smiles fade. Former heroes who quit too late, who just wanna fill up the trophy case again."
- “I have only two emotions: careful fear and dead devotion.”
- ”Car is warm and we had wine, but I couldn't find the perfect song.”
- “I had a hole in the middle where the lightning went through.”
- "My love was as cruel as the cities I lived in."
- "I love you, ain't that the worst thing you've ever heard?"
- "Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand. Paper cut stings from out paper-thin plans."
- "My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust. Trying to find a part of me you didn't take up."
- "Gave you so much, but it wasn't enough. But i'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts."
- "I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you."
- "I've been sleeping so long in a twenty year dark night, and now I see daylight (now i'm wide awake)."
- "I once believed love would be black and white, but it's golden."
- "I wounded the good and I trusted the wicked. Clearing the air, I breathed in the smoke."
- "I just thought you should know: it's you and me, there's nothing like this. Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince."
- "We were in the backsteat, drunk on something stronger than the drinks in the bar. 'I rent a place in Cornelia Street', I say casually in the car."
- "And baby, I get mistified by how this city screams your name."
- "Windows swung right open, autumn air, jacket 'round my shoulders is yours. We bless the rains on Cornelia Street."
- "You hold my hand on the street, walk me back to that apartment. Years ago, we were just inside, barefoot in the kitchen. Sacred new beginnings that became my religion."
- " I cut off my nose just to spite my face, then I hate my reflection for years and years."
- "So cut the headlights, summer's a knife. I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone. Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes, and if I bleed, you'll be the last to know."
- "Dearly beloved, we have gathered here today to get through this thing called life.”
- “I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlor, drinking milk shakes cold and long, smiling and waving and looking so fine. Don't think you knew you were in this song.”
- “A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer threw up at the sight of that.”
- “I never thought I'd need so many people.”
- “And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor. And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there.”
- "Glory, glory, glory to the night that shows me what I am, as I go to the party on my knees, saying 'take it all, please'."
- "And I am relieved that I'd left my room tidy. They'll think of me kindly when they come for my things."
- "Oh, if you're going, take the train, so I can hear it rumble. One last rumble."
- "You're growing tired of me and all the things I don't talk about."
- "And I don't mean to make your heart blue, but could we be what we're meant to be?"
- "Mom, I'm tired. Can I sleep in your house tonight? Mom, is it alright if I stay for a year or two?"
- "When you stood up, walked away, barefoot and the grass where you lay left a bed in your shape, I looked over it and I ached."
- "There's some kind of burning inside me. It's kept me from falling apart."
- "I look for a picture of you to keep in my pocket, but I can't seem to find one where you look how I remember."
- "You're the sun, you've never seen the night. But you hear its song from the morning birds."
- "And I hope you leave right before the sun comes up so I can watch it alone."
- "Everything had its own place, and I wondered what space would I take in the order you kept."
- "And maybe you'd offered me all that I yearned for, but I was still waiting for something to earn."
- "In the rearview mirror, I saw the setting sun on your neck and felt the taste of you bubble up inside me."
- "One warm summer night I'll hear fireworks outside, and I'll listen to the memories as they cry."
- "I glow pink in the night in my room. I've been blossoming alone over you."
- "I'm just trying to stay in touch with anything I'm still in touch with."
- "Do you feel alone when I'm in my head while you wait for me to take my breath?"
- "Grace. Put the flowers you find in a vase; if you're dead in the mind it will brighten the place."
- "I'm trying, but I'm graceless. Don't have the sunny side to face this. I am invisible and weightless. You can't imagine how I hate this. Graceless."
- "You didn't see me, I was falling apart. I was a white girl in a crowd of white girls in the park."
