"I'm drunk in the back of the car And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh) Said, "I'm fine, " but it wasn't true I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you And I snuck in through the garden gate Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh) And I screamed for whatever it's worth 'I love you', ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"

"We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January. And this is our place, we make the rules. And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you dear. Have I known you twenty seconds or twenty years?"

It's like I got this music in my body and it's gonna be alright.'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate. Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, I shake it off, I shake it off. Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake. Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, I shake it off, I shake it off."

"'Cause baby now we got bad blood. You know it used to be mad love. So take a look at what you've done. 'Cause baby now we got bad blood."

"So it's gonna be forever Or it's gonna go down in flames. You can tell me when it's over If the high was worth the pain. Got a long list of ex-lovers, They'll tell you I'm insane. 'Cause you know I love the players, And you love the game."

"You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye, And I got that red lip, classic thing that you like. And when we go crashing down, we come back every time, 'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style. You've got that long hair slick back, white t-shirt And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt. And when we go crashing down, we come back every time. 'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style"

"Your kiss, my cheek I watched you leave Your smile, my ghost I fell to my knees When you're young you just run, but you come back to what you need"

"Words, how little they mean when you're a little too late."

"And you throw your head back laughing Like a little kid. I think it's strange that you think I’m funny cause He never did. I've been spending the last 8 months Thinking all love ever does Is break and burn and end. But on a Wednesday in a cafe, I watched it begin again."

"We are never ever ever... getting back together. We are never ever ever... getting back together. You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me. But we are never ever ever ever... getting back together. Like, ever."

"I don't know about you but I'm feeling 22. Everything will be alright if you keep me next to you. You don't know about me but I bet you want to. Everything will be alright if we just keep dancing like we're 22, 22."

"And they tell you that you're lucky, but you're so confused 'Cause you don't feel pretty, you just feel used."

"Losing him was blue like I’d never known; Missing him was dark grey all alone. Forgetting him was like trying to know Somebody you've never met. But loving him was red; Loving him was red."

"Two headlights shine through the sleepless night and I will get you, get you alone Your name has echoed through my mind And I just think you should, think you should know That nothing safe is worth the drive And I will follow you follow you home I'll follow you follow you home"

"So don't you worry your pretty little mind, People throw rocks at things that shine, And life makes love look hard. The stakes are high, The water's rough, But this love is ours."

"Long live the walls we crashed through, All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you. I was screaming, "Long live all the magic we made," And bring on all the pretenders. One day we will be remembered."

"This is a state of grace This is the worthwhile fight Love is a ruthless game Unless you play it good and right"

"'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in, So shame on me now. Flew me to places I'd never been, So you put me down oh."

"This is me praying that This was the very first page Not where the story line ends My thoughts will echo your name Until I see you again These are the words I held back As I was leaving too soon I was enchanted to meet youPlease don't be in love with someone else Please don't have somebody waiting on you Please don't be in love with someone else Please don't have somebody waiting on you"

"Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room And we're not speaking. And I'm dyin' to know: Is it killing you Like it's killing me? Yeah. I don't know what to say since a twist of fate, when it all broke down And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now."

"The story starts when it was hot and it was summer and... I had it all, I had him right there where I wanted him She came along, got him alone and let's hear the applause She took him faster than you could say "sabotage"I never saw it coming, wouldn't have suspected it I underestimated just who I was dealing with She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum She underestimated just who she was stealing from"

"I am not the kind of girl Who should be rudely bargin' in on a white veil occasion. But you are not the kind of boy Who should be marrying the wrong girl."

"Someday I'll be livin' in a big old city And all you're ever gonna be is mean. Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me And all you're ever gonna be is mean. Why you gotta be so mean?"

"Come on, come on Don't leave me like this. I thought I had you figured out. Something's gone terribly wrong, You're all I wanted.Come on, come on Don't leave me like this. I thought I had you figured out. Can't breathe whenever your gone, Can't turn back Now I'm haunted."

"Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it. I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it. After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own, Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone.But you keep my old scarf from that very first week, 'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me. You can't get rid of it 'cause you remember it all too well, yeah."

"If a man talks shit then I owe him nothing. And if spends my change than he had it coming. They said I did something bad But why it feels so good."

"Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts Flashbacks waking me up. I get drunk, but it's not enough, 'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby. I look through the windows of this love, Even though we boarded them up. Chandelier's still flickering here, 'Cause I can't pretend it's ok when it's not. It's death by a thousand cuts."
