"In the heart of the night, when it's dark in the lights I heard the loudest noise, a gunshot on the floor I looked down and my shirt's turning red I'm spinning around"

"There's us, going on about a band Working out how we play our hands I lay there dreaming, later all alone in my bed If I were stupid, maybe careless, so were you"

"Last night I saw the fireworks The kind of pain that never hurts The one you hate to love that's made for you Another unsuspecting Sunday afternoon."

"How fool was I into thinking I was gonna be alright, okay, fine So every day I try a little harder to forget her Lie here convince myself tomorrow will be better"

"When the snow hits your skin The cold don't last forever But you'll live it again If you don't let seasons change"

"Here we are, seven days And seven nights of empty tries It's rituals, habitual But it's never gonna work this time We're to the point of no return And along the way the only thing we've learned Is how to hurt each other"

"I'm a house of cards in a hurricane A reckless fire in a pouring rain"

"I closed the door like so many times, so many times before Felt like a scene on the cutting room floor When I let you walk away tonight without a word I tried to sleep but the clock is stuck on thoughts of you and me A thousand more regrets unraveling If you were here right now, I swear I'd tell you this"

"Let me tell you the story about the call that changed my destiny."

"Looking back on the things I've done I was trying to be someone I played my part and kept you in the dark Now let me show you the shape of my heart."

"You showed me, when I was young just how to grow You showed me, everything that I should know You showed me, just how to walk without your hands 'Cause Mom you always were the perfect fan"

"It's not that I can't live without you, it's just that I don't even want to try."

"I never thought that I would lose my mind That I could control this Never thought that I'd be left behind That I was stronger than you."

"You hit me faster than a shark attack You saw my picture on the Backstreet's Back, alright"

"There you are, wild and free Reachin' out like you needed me A helping hand to make it right I am holding you all through the night I'll be the one (I'll be the one) Who will make all your sorrows undone I'll be the light (I'll be the light) When you feel like there's nowhere to run I'll be the one"

"All you people, can't you see, can't you seeHow your love's affecting our reality Every time we're down, you can make it right And that makes you larger than life."

"Never gone, never far In my heart is where you are Always close, everyday Every step along the way Even though for now we've got to say goodbye I know you will be forever in my life Never gone"

"Only one life to live in We're trying our best to make it through There's no mistakes just lessons It's all about what they mean to you"

"There no more blindness 'cause when I cry I'm smilin' You cured me from dyin' and I know with you I'll keep on livin' You're rushing through me (like water from Heaven) I feel you movin' through me (like sand in the sea) And now I feel so alive (I know that there must be something here) So alive ('cause you're all the air in my atmosphere) Finally I feel complete 'cause you are rushed over me"

"This is the song for the unloved This is the music for one last cry This is the prayer that tomorrow will help me leave the past behind It's a song for the unloved"

"Then my heart did time in Siberia Was waiting for the lie to come true 'Cause it's all so dark and mysterious When the one you want doesn't want you too"

"It seems like yesterday when I said, "I do" And after all this time my heart still burns for you. Can you see me, here I am Standing here where I've always been And when words are not enough I climb inside your heart and still find You're my safest place to hide."

"Who are you now? Are you still the same or did you change somehow? What do you do at this very moment when I think of you? And when I'm looking back, how we were young and stupid Do you remember that? I still need you, I still care about you Though everything's been said and done."

"All the doors are closing, I'm tryin' to move ahead And deep inside I wish it's me instead My dreams are empty from the day, the day you slipped away I just want you to know that I've been fighting to let you go."

"I've tried to go on like I never knew you I'm awake but my world is half asleep I pray for this heart to be unbroken But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete."

"Remember when we never needed each other The best of friends like sister and brother. Those days are gone, now I want you so much. Don't know what to say, never meant to feel this way. Falling so hard, so fast, this time."

"What makes you different, makes you beautiful What's there inside you shines through to me"

"Yes, I will take your hand and walk with you Yes, I will, it's these three words that promise to Yes, I will give you everything you need and someday start a family with you."

"Time, look where we are and what we've been through."

"We've been through days of thunder Some people said, "They don't belong." They tried to pull us under But here we stand together and we're millions strong."

"Show me your reason, give me a sign Tell me the way we fall outta line Is it today or is it tonight? We'll find the answer to our life. So tell me why we have to cry and not try With there's so many things we can do To help this troubled world start anew."

"I will love you more than that I won't say the words then take them back. Don't give loneliness a chance Baby, listen to me when I say I will love you more than that."

"The attitude to sexual love in the "pop" song is so ugly and mechanical as to seem schizoid, and psychopathological. Exposed as they are to such powerful cultural statements, young people are being encouraged to forfeit genuine commitment in love in favour of depersonalised sexual activity, with an undercurrent of violence, and to take false solutions in which they must deny their deepest needs, by hate."

"... And this is the origin of pop music: it's a professional music which draws upon both folk music and fine arts music as well."

"Pop music can't be described, but quantified."

"Pop music is probably the only art form that is totally dependent for its success on the general public. The more people buy a record, the more successful it is — not only commercially but artistically."

"If you do a lot of variety shows, you sometimes forget your job as a singer. But I got really excited after practicing together again. I can’t wait to go on stage."

"Maybe it’s because of a rumor that ‘we aren’t suppose to be in a relationship’, which had caused quite a stir, but this is a restriction that's applied to a very small percentage of artists, I think. It's an image that was required for idols, like the one that says that we never even go to the bathroom… we’ve been in this industry for a long time now and we are doing what we want to do, so we’re allowed to fall in love."

"Because we have so many of those pose and gestures, I feel like many people assume that we’re super bubbly and animated."

"Pop is a consumer article, anyhow; after use you throw it away. Forget about the "art" bullshit."
