"Where are you? I'm the same place I've always been. Flying and lying With no regard for consequences. I'm bouncing off the walls as they're closing in. Where are you? I'm the same place I'll always b..."

"I don't remember much. We laid in bed. Watched game shows. Said nothing. Hugged. Said nothing. Perfection. I don't remember much. But what I do remember was heaven. Silence. No shouting. No slammin..."

"I can't feel the love there, If any is there at all. All I feel is a warm hand on my knee, And I convince myself it's the same. I poked him in the ribs. He stopped snoring. A doped-up eye looked at m..."

"He said I fall easily Out of the sky and into arms And out of the blue I fall away. He said I was fooling myself, Thinking love and love were both the same, Thinking I was strong enough to resist, De..."
