(  lyric  dialogue  prompts  taken  from  various  hozier  songs.  free  to  change  how  you  seem  fit.  )
❛ i’ve walked the earth and there are so few here that know how dark the night and just how cold the wind can blow. ❜
❛ i’ve no more kept my warmth than blood upon the snow. ❜
❛ it’s not my arms that will fail me, but this world takes more strength than it gave me. ❜
❛ the only heaven i’ll be sent to is when i’m alone with you. ❜
❛ i’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies. ❜
❛ i’ll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife. ❜
❛ good god, let me give you my life. ❜
❛ so tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes. ❜
❛ every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside. ❜
❛ you knew who i was with every step that i ran to you. ❜
❛ would things be easier if there was a right way? ❜
❛ honey, there is no right way. ❜
❛ i fall in love just a little, a little bit every day with someone new. ❜
❛ when you kill the lights and kiss my eyes, i feel like a person for a moment of my life. ❜
❛ you don’t know what hell you put me through. ❜
❛ there’s something tragic about you. ❜
❛ i have never known peace like the damp grass that yields to me. ❜
❛ i have never known hunger like these insects that feast on me. ❜
❛ i’d be home with you. ❜
❛ there’s nothing sweeter than my baby. ❜
❛ no grave can hold my body down, i’ll crawl home to her. ❜
❛ what did you bury before those hands pulled me from the earth? ❜
❛ i will not ask where you came from. i will not ask and neither should you. ❜
❛ just put your sweet lips on my lips. we should just kiss like real people do. ❜
❛ i know who i am when i’m alone. i’m something else when i see you. ❜

❛ don’t feed me — i will come back. ❜

❛ still my heart is heavy with the hate of some other man’s beliefs. ❜
❛ i need you to run to me, run until you feel your lungs bleeding. ❜
❛ when i was a child, i heard voices... some would sing and some would scream. ❜
❛ i learned the voices died with me. ❜
❛ don’t you ever tame your demons, but always keep ‘em on a leash. ❜
❛ you’ve done me wrong for a long time. but after all you’ve done, i never changed my mind. ❜
❛ honey please, try to love me. my love will never die. ❜
❛ nothing fucks with my baby. ❜
❛ if i was born as a black thorn tree, i’d wanna be felled by you, held by you, fuel the pyre of your enemies. ❜
❛ ain’t it warming you, the world going up in flames? ❜
❛ i couldn’t utter my love when it counted, but i’m singing like a bird about it now.❜
❛ i’m almost me again, she’s almost you. ❜
❛ i’ve had no love like your love. from nobody. ❜
❛ make your good love known to me, or just tell me about your day. ❜
❛ i’d suffer hell if you’d tell me what you’d do to me tonight. ❜
❛ that’s the kinda love i’ve been dreaming of. ❜
❛ i fell in love with the fire long ago. ❜
❛ with each love i cut loose, i was never the same. ❜
❛ i had been lost to you, sunlight, and flew like a moth to you. ❜

taylor swift // 1989 vault tracks rp lyrics meme.
edit/change pronouns etc as you see fit!
Tumblr media
"slut!"
what if all i need is you?
got love-struck.
got lovesick all over my bed.
love to think you'll never forget.
love thorns all over this rose.
i'll pay the price, you won't.
they might as well be looking at us.
if they call me a slut, you know, it might be worth it for once.
if i'm gonna be drunk i might as well be drunk in love.
everyone wants him.
in a world of boys, he's a gentleman.
you're not saying you're in love with me.
it might blow up in your pretty face.
say don't go.
we're a shot in the darkest dark.
the waiting is a sadness.
fading into madness.
it won't stop.
i'm standing on a tightrope, alone.
i'm holding out hope.
i'm holding out hope for you to say 'don't go'.
i would stay forever.
i would stay forever if you say 'don't go'.
why'd you have to lead me on?
why'd you have to twist the knife?
why'd you have to twist the knife, walk away and leave me bleeding?
why'd you whisper in the dark just to leave me in the night?
your silence has me screaming.
you kiss me and it stops time.
i'm yours, but you're not mine.
you're not there.
i was trying to see the cards that you won't show.
i'm about to fold.
why'd you have to make me want you?
why'd you have to give me nothing back?
why'd you have to make me love you?
i said 'i love you', you say nothing back.
i want you more.
now that we don't talk.
i guess i'll never, ever know now that we don't talk.
it looks like you're trying lives on.
i miss the old ways.
you didn't have to change.
i guess i don't have a say.
the more i gave, you'd want me less.
i can't pretend it's platonic.
it's just ended.
guess maybe i am better off.
the only way back to my dignity was to turn into a shrouded mystery.
guess this is how it has to be.
suburban legends.
all was quickly forgiven.
you were so magnetic.
i didn't come here to make friends.
we were born to be suburban legends.
when you hold me, it holds me together.
you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever.
you'd be more than a chapter in my old diaries.
i can still see you now.
i know that you still remember.
we were born to be national treasures.
i broke my own heart.
i broke my own heart coz you were too polite to do it.
my whole life's ruined.
is it over now?
you still wouldn't go.
you dream of my mouth.
was it over?
is it over now?
your new girl is my clone.
did you think i didn't see you?
at least i had the decency to keep my nights out of sight.
i think about jumping off of very tall somethings.
if she's got blue eyes i will surmise that you'll probably date her.
you search in every model's bed for something greater.

i have to find it and cut it out.

LYRIC SENTENCE STARTERS
all lyrics have been taken from my favorite matt nathanson and noah kahan songs
i am not scared of death, i’ve got dreams again.
it’s just me and the curve of the valley.
a minute from home but i feel so far from it.
it’s all washing over me, i’m angry again.
the car’s in reverse. i’m gripping the wheel.
i’m back between villages and everything’s still.
the things that i lost here, the people i knew. they’ve got me surrounded for a mile or two.
my whole life’s a movie, if movies made you want to jump off a bridge.
i’ve got one who moves me and one who sees through me and all i really want is a kiss.
i was born three thousand miles from where i came alive.
and i left without saying a word to start a new life.
i spent my whole damn life just trying to hide.
you can change every inch of your life, but you’re still just a boy.
i’m mean because i grew up in new england.
i’ve got dreams but i can’t make myself believe them.
i was only kidding when i said i liked a fight.
i was only kind of kidding when i said i liked a fight.
but sometimes you’ve got to start them yourself.
i had a dream you died.
what kind of man misunderstands a woman like you?
i’m the last of the worst pretenders.
i got tired of the frat boys with the brights on.
but it’s all we’ve had for always.
we’ll all be here forever.
we spent july in a berkeley basement.
there was so much i didn’t believe in and then there was you.
no one cares about the stories they’re not in.
we’ll fade out to whispers.
there’s no nostalgia here, it’s just now.
i was a fire that you started.
for once i knew everything that i wanted.
for a minute there, we were perfect.
we made the beautiful people wanna be like us.
some heart’s gotta break to let the light in.
i loved you even before i knew what love was.
everything else felt so unimportant back in your boston bed.
when you think about it i hope you blush just a little bit.
all the best parts still move me.
i could’ve powered the city every time that you kissed me.
we looked good back then.
just between you and me, part of me will always be in love.
we’re better off, no doubt.
what’s it matter now?
if i get too close and i’m not how you hoped, forgive my northern attitude.
i was raised out in the cold.
i was raised on little light.
i don’t miss you. i miss the way you made me feel.
and if i died tomorrow, would you feel me?
and you were only a minute of my time.
even through the pain, i can’t recall your face.
just the ache of knowing everything was gonna change.
got so close to love with you.
i know that the moment i chase is a race i’ve already lost.
it’s long ago.
you were only a break from the fear of being alone.
but i’m sure feeling the ache is better than nothing at all.
i know it gets hard just to breathe sometimes.
it’s the way she walks, the way she talks.
you and my imagination.
there was heaven in your eyes.
everything’s alright when she calls me back.
don’t you hold your head up high.
for bullshit, i do not have time.
and i do not exist to die. but live to die while saving you.
and i don’t get much sleep most nights.
i’m seeing you in every dream.
i was too afraid of living life in your footsteps.
i’m still angry at my parents for what their parents did to them.
but i ignore things and i move sideways.
at the end of the day, i know there are worse ways to stay alive.
i’m terrified that i might never have met me.
if my engine works perfect on empty, i guess i’ll drive.
it’s better to die numb than to feel it all.
and if all my life was wasted, i don’t mind. i’ll watch it go.
you were right.
i’m just a stubborn fool who’s living in the past.
i got a king sized bed and phd and the way it used to be.
the devil is in the details. he and i get on real good.
i’ve got a love that comes in colors.
i had a head full of tangles.
i had my heart full of splinters.
and you came around to save me.
now i drop to hold you.
grew up believing love was a grudge and home was a place you lived with your guard up.
people keep saying memories fade. mine are all drunk and they just keep calling.
the past is a long distance runner and i’m falling further and further behind.
takes me forever and ever to see the good in the people who see the good in me.

Noah Kahan Sentence Starters Stick Season (We’ll Be Here Forever)
Content Warning For: Suicidal ideations/imagery, mentions of alcohol/drugs, depression/melancholia, mentions of COVID
Northern Attitude:
How you been? Settled down?
How’re your kids?
Where are you?
What does it mean?
Forgive my northern attitude
Stick Season:
I am stuck between my anger and the blame that I can't face
Memories are something even smoking weed does not replace
Doc told me to travel but there's COVID on the planes
I love Vermont, but it's the season of the sticks
I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed
I just like to play the victim
I thought that if I piled something good on all my bad that I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from dad
I’m no longer funny
My other half was you
I hope this pain’s just passing through 
I doubt it
All My Love:
How have things been?
Well, now that you mention it
I'm saying too much but you know how it gets out here
No winter coat could keep out all the cold of your atmosphere
You got all my love
If you need me dear, I'm the same as I was
You burrowed in under my skin
What I'd give to have you out from me
I just hope that your scars heal
I swear I was scared to death
She Calls Me Back:
Oh, there was heaven in your eyes
Everything’s alright when she calls me back
Look at me and don't you lie
For bullshit I do not have time
Does it bite at your edges?
Do you lie awake restless?
Why am I so obsessive?
This town's the same as you left it
The radio is taunting me
I don't get much sleep most nights
I'm seeing you in every dream
If only I could wake you up
If only I could fall asleep
I'll love you when the oceans dry
I'll love you when the rivers freeze
I was too afraid of living life in your footsteps
Come Over:
I’m in the business of losing your interest
Don't you know there's a coffin buried under the garden?
You won't have to guess who they're speaking about
I'm in the process of clearing out cobwebs
I was taking the wrong meds
It feels good to be sad
I know that it ain’t much
I know that it ain’t cool
You don’t have to tell the other kids at school
Someday I’m gonna be somebody people want
New Perspective:
Silence is making me nostalgic
We were kids but that don't make this less hard
If I could fly I doubt I'd even do it
You made Ohio feel just like Central Park
You and all of your new perspective now
Everywhere, Everything:
It's been a long year
Would we survive in a horror movie?
We trust everyone we meet
I wanna love you 'till we're food for the worms to eat
Keep my hand in yours
Orange Juice: 
Honey, come over
We know you got sober
There's orange juice in the kitchen
It’s yours if you want it
We're just glad you could visit
The last time I drank I was face down passed out there on your lawn
Are we all just crows to you now?
Are we all just pulling you down?
You didn't put those bones in the ground
Strawberry Wine:
Darling speak to me
Remember telling me that you thought you were cursed?
I'm in love with every song you've ever heard
If I could lose you I would
We buried your bones in plywood
I said love is fast asleep on a dirt road with your head on my shoulder
For you, darling, for you
No thing defines a man like love that makes him soft and sentimental like a stranger in the park
For a few moments, I see you
Growing Sideways:
So I took my medication
We argued about Jesus
I said I’m cured
I’m still angry at my parents
But it’s a start
I ignore things
At the end of the day I know there are worse ways to stay alive
I'm terrified that I might never have met me
I guess I’ll drive
So I forgot my medication
Now I’m suffering in style
Why is pain so damn impatient?
It's better to die numb than feel at all
Halloween:
I'm sailing away to a place I'm afraid of
I'm drinking my days with the coastal longshoreman
I drink 'till I drown and I smoke 'till I'm burning
I worry for you
You worry for me
I'm leaving this town and I'm changing my address
I know that you'll come if you want
There's a murder of crows in the low light off Boston
Homesick:
Two months since you got back
Are you bored yet?
The weather ain’t been bad
If you’re into masochistic bullshit
This place is such great motivation for anyone tryna move
Time moves so damn slow
I swear I feel my organs failing
I would leave if only I could find a reason
I'm mean because I grew up in New England
I got dreams but I can't make myself believe them
I’m homesick
Still:
I don’t want to say goodbye
You find love that lasts a while 'till you lose the reasons
You miss something that you can't place but you can't deny it
It's like I'm still here with you
It's a bottomless hole I've found out here with a trace of no one
The View Between Villages:
For a minute the world seems so simple
I’m seventeen again
I am not scared of death
I’ve got dreams again
Your Needs, My Needs:
Oh well, who was I?
Who was I to watch you wilt?
You ain't gotta tell me what it means
You'll always be a flower on my skin
I promise to be there this time
I'm naming the stars in the sky after you
Dial Drunk:
I'm remembering I promised to forget you now
I ain't proud of all the punches that I've thrown in the name of someone I no longer know
I don't like that when they threw me in the car
I gave your name as my emergency phone call
Even the cops thought you were wrong for hanging up
I’d die for you
The dial tone is all I have
I beg you, sir, just let me call
Let's wait I swear she'll call me back
Son, are you a danger to yourself?
Son, why do you do this to yourself?
Paul Revere:
This place had a heartbeat in its day
The boys are drunk
But it just ain't that simple, it never was
One day I'm gonna cut it clear
I’m not from around here
I'll leave before the road crew's out
Folks just disappear
If I could leave, I would've already left
No Complaints:
Thought I had something
That's the same as having something
I'd get mad at nothing
Blame my dad for something
I'd pull no punches
Thought I was raised better
Hope the skin heals where the pain enters
I set a time, then I showed up
Now the weight of the world ain't so bad
I filled the hole in my head with prescription medication
Who am I to complain?
And now the pain's different
I can finally eat and I can fall asleep
Call Your Mom:
Oh, you’re spiraling again
Don't let this darkness fool you
All lights turned off can be turned on
I’ll drive all night
I’ll call your mom
If you could see yourself like this, you'd have never tried it
Oh dear, don't be discouraged
I've been exactly where you are
Throw a punch, fall in love, give yourself a reason
Don't wanna drive another mile wondering if you're breathing
Won’t you stay with me?
You’re Gonna Go Far:
This is normal conversation, babe, it's all fine
The college kids are getting so young, ain't they?
I got tired of the frat boys with the brights on
"This is good land" or at least it was
Say whatever you feel, be wherever you are
We're overdue for a revival
We spent so long just getting by
You told me you would make a difference

taylor swift // midnights rp meme. 
edit/alter/change pronouns etc as you see fit!  
Tumblr media
lavender haze. 
meet me at midnight. 
you don’t ever say too much. 
i’ve been under scrutiny. 
you handle it beautifully. 
all this shit is new to me. 
i’m damned if i do give a damn what people say. 
all they keep asking me is if i’m gonna be your bride. 
they’re bringing up my history. 
they’re bringing up my history, but you weren’t even listening. 
i just need this love spiral. 
maroon. 
we lost track of time again. 
you were my closest friend. 
how’d we end up on the floor anyway? 
i see you every day now. 
i chose you. 
we were shaking. 
how the hell did we lose sight of us again? 
ain’t that the way shit always ends. 
i feel you, no matter what. 
and i lost you. 
i wake with your memory over me. 
that’s a real fuckin’ legacy. 
anti-hero. 
i get older, but just never wiser. 
midnights become my afternoons. 
my depression works the graveyard shift. 
i should not be left to my own devices. 
i end up in crisis. 
i wake up screaming from dreaming. 
one day i’ll watch as you’re leaving.
one day i’ll watch as you’re leaving, coz you got tired of my scheming. 
it’s me, hi. i’m the problem, it’s me. 
i’m the problem. 
i’ll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror. 
it must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero. 
i’m a monster on the hill. 
did you hear my covert narcissism i disguise as altruism like some kind of congressman? 
life will lose all its meaning. 
she thinks i left them in the will. 
she’s laughing up at us from hell. 
snow on the beach. 
life is emotionally abusive. 
time can’t stop me quite like you did. 
i’m unglued, thanks to you. 
it’s like snow at the beach: weird, but fucking beautiful. 
you wanting me tonight, feels impossible. 
this scene feels like what i once saw on a screen. 
i’ve never seen someone lit from within. 
my smile is like i won a contest. 
to hide that would be so dishonest. 
it’s fine to fake it till you make it. 
i can’t speak. 
i don’t even dare to wish it. 
can this be a real thing? 
you’re on your own, kid. 
summer went away, still the yearning stays. 
i play it cool with the best of them. 
he’s gonna notice me. 
we’re the best of friends anyway. 
i hear it in your voice. 
i didn’t choose this town, i dream of getting out. 
there’s just one who could make me stay. 
i waited ages to see you there. 
you never cared. 
you’re on your own, kid. you always have been. 
you’re on your own, kid. 
i see the great escape. 
he loves me not. 
something different bloomed. 
i’ll run away. 
i gave my blood, sweat and tears for this. 
the jokes weren’t funny. 
i took the money. 
my friends from home don’t know what to say. 
there were pages turned with the bridges burned. 
everything you lose is a step you take. 
you’ve got no reason to be afraid. 
you can face this. 
midnight rain. 
he wanted it comfortable, i wanted that pain. 
he wanted a bride, i was making my own name. 
he stayed the same. 
all of me changed. 
my town was a wasteland. 
for some, it was paradise. 
i broke his heart coz he was nice. 
i was midnight rain. 
i guess sometimes we all get just what we wanted. 
he never thinks of me. 
i guess we all get some kind of haunted. 
i never think of him. 
i never think of him, except on midnights like this. 
question...? 
we had one thing going on, i swear that it was something. 
i don’t remember who i was before you. 
i just may like some explanations. 
can i ask you a question? 
did you ever have someone kiss you in a crowded room? 
what did you do?
did you ever leave her house in the middle of the night? 
did you wish you’d put up more of a fight? 
it was too much. 
do you wish you could still touch her? 
did you realise out of time? 
fuckin’ politics and gender roles. 
i just may like to have a conversation. 
does it feel like everything’s just like second best after that meteor strike? 
i’m sure that’s what’s suitable. 
vigilante shit. 
draw the cat eye sharp enough to kill a man. 
you did some bad things, but i’m the worst of them. 
sometimes i wonder which one will be your last lie. 
they say looks can kill and i might try. 
i don’t dress for women, i don’t dress for men, lately i’ve been dressing for revenge. 
i don’t start shit.
i don’t start shit, but i can tell you how it ends. 
don’t get sad, get even. 
i’ve been dressing for revenge. 
she needed cold hard proof, so i gave her some. 
picture me, thick as thieves with your ex-wife. 
she looks so pretty, driving in your benz. 
ladies always rise above. 
i’m on my vigilante shit again. 
bejeweled. 
i think i’ve been a little too kind. 
didn’t notice you walking all over my peace of mind. 
putting someone first only works when you’re in their top five. 
i’m going out tonight. 
best believe i’m still bejeweled when i walk in the room. 
i can still make the whole place shimmer. 
familiarity breeds comtempt. 
don’t put me in the basement when i want the penthouse of your heart. 
i polish up real nice. 
i think i’ve been too good of a girl. 
i think it’s time to teach some lessons. 
i made you my world. 
have you heard? i can reclaim the land. 
i miss you, but i miss sparkling. 
sadness became my whole sky. 
but some guy said my aura’s moonstone. 
you can try to change my mind, but you might have to wait in line. 
a diamond’s gotta shine. 
labyrinth. 
it only hurts this much right now. 
i’ll be getting over you my whole life. 
i’m falling in love.
i’m falling in love again. 
it only feels this raw right now. 
lost in the labyrinth of my mind. 
you would break your back to make me break a smile. 
you know how much i hate that everybody just expects me to bounce back. 
karma. 
you’re talking shit. 
addicted to betrayal. 
you’re terrified to look down. 
you’ll see the glare of everyone you burned. 
it’s coming back around. 
karma is my boyfriend. 
karma’s a relaxing thought. aren’t you envious that for you it’s not? 
my pennies made your crown. 
don’t you know that cash ain’t the only price? 
ask me what i learned from all those years. 
ask me what i earned from all those tears. 
ask me why so many fade, but i’m still here.
so many fade.
i’m still here. 
karma is the thunder rattling your ground. 
karma’s on your scent like a bounty hunter. 
sweet nothing. 
they said the end is coming.
the end is coming. 
everyone’s up to something. 
i find myself running home to your sweet nothings. 
all that you ever wanted from me was sweet nothing. 
this happens all the time. 
you should be doing more. 
to you i can admit that i’m just too soft for all of it. 
i’m just too soft for all of it. 
mastermind. 
the planets and the fates and all the stars aligned. 
the touch of a hand lit the fuse. 
checkmate, i couldn’t lose.
i couldn’t lose. 
what if i told you none of it was accidental. 
none of it was accidental. 
the first night that you saw me, nothing was gonna stop me. 
what if i told you i’m a mastermind? 
i’m a mastermind. 
now you’re mine. 
we were born to be the pawn in every lover’s game. 
if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. 
strategy sets the scene for the tale. 
the first night that you saw me, i knew i wanted your body.
i wanted your body. 
it was all my design. 
no one wanted to play with me as a little kid.
i’ve been scheming. 
i’ve been scheming like a criminal ever since.
i’ve been scheming like a criminal ever since to make them love me. 
this is the first time i’ve felt the need to confess. 
i’m only cryptic and machiavellian coz i care. 
you knew the entire time. 
you knew that i’m a mastermind. 
the great war. 
my knuckles were bruised like violets. 
cursed you as i sleep talked. 
spineless in my tomb of silence. 
tore your banners down, took the battle underground. 
flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur. 
my hand was the one you reach for all throughout the great war. 
i vowed not to cry anymore. 
if we survived the great war. 
you drew up some good faith treaties. 
you said i have to trust more freely. 
you were playing with fire. 
maybe it’s the past that’s talking. 
maybe it’s the past that’s talking-- telling me to punish you for things you never did. 
i justified it. 
i vowed not to fight anymore. 
i vowed not to fight anymore if we survived the great war. 
got a sense i’d been betrayed. 
that was the night i nearly lost you.
i nearly lost you. 
i really thought i’d lost you. 
we can plant a memory garden. 
there’s no morning glory, it was war, it wasn’t fair. 
we will never go back to that bloodshed. 
we’re burned for better. 
i vowed i would always be yours.
i would always be yours. 
paris. 
all the outfits were terrible. 
i’m so in love that i might stop breathing. 
i was taken by the view. 
romance is not dead. 
romance is not dead if you keep it just yours. 
levitate above all the messes made. 
i want to brainwash you into loving me forever. 
high infidelity. 
i didn’t know you were keeping count. 
you said i was freeloading. 
put on your records and regret me. 
i bent the truth too far tonight. 
i was dancing around it. 
do i really have to chart the constellations in his eyes? 
seemed like the right thing at the time. 
there’s so many different ways that you can kill the one you love. 
there’s so many different ways that you can kill the one you love. the slowest way is never loving them enough. 
do i really have to tell you how he brought me back to life? 
glitch. 
we were supposed to be just friends. 
maybe i’ll see you out some weekend. 
i think there’s been a glitch. 
i’m fastening myself to you. 
i’m not even sorry. 
i was supposed to sweat you out. 
our love is blacking out. 
the system’s breaking down. 
i’d go back to wanting dudes who give nothing. 
would’ve, could’ve, should’ve. 
if you tasted poison you could’ve spit me out. 
if you’d never looked my way i would’ve stayed on my knees. 
i damn sure never would’ve danced with the devil. 
the pain was heaven. 
now that i’m grown, i’m scared of ghosts. 
memories feel like weapons. 
i wish you’d left me wondering. 
if you never touched me i would’ve gone along with the righteous. 
you made me feel important. 
you made me feel important, then you tried to erase us. 
you tried to erase us. 
you’re a crisis of my faith. 
if i’d only played it safe. 
i miss who i used to be. 
the tomb won’t close. 
i regret you all the time. 
i can’t let this go. 
i fight with you in my sleep. 
the wound won’t close. 
i keep on waiting for a sign. 
if clarity’s in death, then why won’t this die? 
living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts.
give me back my girlhood, it was mine first. 
dear reader. 
if it feels like a trap, you’re already in one. 
just run. 
pick somewhere and just run. 
desert all your past lives. 
if you don’t recognise yourself, that means you did it right. 
never take advice from someone who’s falling apart. 
bend when you can, snap when you have to. 
you don’t have to answer just cause they asked you. 
the greatest of luxuries is your secrets. 
when you aim at the devil, make sure you don’t miss. 
i prefer hiding in plain sight. 
you should find another guiding light.

EMAILS I CAN'T SEND FWD ↳ starters from sabrina carpenter's eics deluxe tracks.
opposite —
oh, so you do have a type and it's not me
oh, so you can reply, just to not me
if you wanted brown eyes, i could have got contacts
she looks nothing like me
should i be trying to take it as a compliment?
she looks nothing like me, so why do you look so happy?
you were holding out to find the opposite
even if i tried to change, you'd end up with her anyway
does she say nothing so you feel good?
does she step out the spotlight so you bathe in it?
does she get up on top of you more than I would?
does she just love the picture cause you're painting it?
when you said i'm beautiful, was i just being lied to?
feather —
i feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind
floatin through the memories, like, whatever
you're a waste of time
your signals are mixed, you act like a bitch
you fit every stereotype, "send a pic"
i feel so much lighter like a feather with you out my life
it feels so good not caring where you are tonight
it feels so good not pretending to like the wine you like
i'm so sorry for your loss
you miss me? no duh
lonesome —
if i fall in love with all my problems will they leave me, too?
maybe i believed in all your lies because i believed in you
why were you somewhere else when you were next to me?
did you think about her face with your hands around my waist?
did you even give a fuck?
you can't spell "lonesome" without "me"
there's no hope in misery
tell me i was more than a decent opportunity
will you tell me anything i wanna hear to control how you're perceived?
isn't it kind of strange how it all changed?
i wasn't the one they wanted you to love
things i wish you said —
baby, sorry i left you in the dark
i always reach for your leg over there on your side of the car
baby, everything reminds me of you
nobody gets my jokes, everyone here thinks I'm fuckin' rude
when I saw you cry, i didn't handle it well
without you here, I don't know what to do with myself
i saw you met somebody and I'm jealous as hell
i can't even stomach loving somebody else
i think about these things at night before I fall asleep
i'm sorry that I pulled the "it's not you, it's me"
one day, i'll make sure you get a real apology

Perspective's Sentence Starters; 1989 (Taylor's Version) by Taylor Swift (Part III)
"SLUT!"
Being this young is art.
What if all I need is you?
Got love-struck, went straight to my head.
Got lovesick all over my bed.
Love to think you’ll never forget.
Lovelorn and nobody knows
I'll pay the price, you won't.
If I’m all dressed up, they might as well be lookin' at us.
If they call me a slut, you know it might be worth it for once.
If I'm gonna be drunk, I might as well be drunk in love.
Everyone wants him, that was my crime.
The wrong place at the right time.
In a world of boys, he's a gentleman.
We’ll pay the price, I guess.
This is luxury.
You're not sayin' you're in love with me.
It might blow up in your pretty face.
SAY DON'T GO
I've known it from the very start, we’re a shot in the darkest dark.
It won't stop.
Halfway out the door, but it won't close
I'm holdin' out hope for you.
Say, "Don't go".
I would stay forever if you say, "Don't go".
Why'd you have to lead me on?
Why’d you have to twist the knife?
Walk away and leave me bleedin’?
Why’d you whisper in the dark just to leave me in the night?
Now your silence has me screamin'.
You kiss me and it stops time.
I'm yours, but you're not mine.
Why'd you have to make me want you?
Why'd you have to give me nothin' back?
Why'd you have to make me love you?
I said, "I love you".
NOW THAT WE DON'T TALK
I heard from everybody.
You part the crowd like the Red Sea.
Did you get anxious though, on the way home?
I guess I'll never, ever know.
You grew your hair long.
You got new icons.
From the outside it looks like you're tryin' lives on.
I miss the old ways.
You didn't have to change.
I guess I don't have a say.
She said that it was for the best.
The more I gave, you'd want me less.
I cannot be your friend.
I pay the price of what I lost.
What do you tell your friends we shared dinners, long weekends with?
I can't pretend it's platonic.
She said to get it off my chest.
Remind myself the way you faded 'til I left.
I don't have to pretend I like acid rock.
Guess maybe I am better off now that we don't talk.
Guess this is how it has to be now that we don't talk.
SUBURBAN LEGENDS
You had people who called you on unmarked numbers in my peripheral vision.
All was quickly forgiven.
You were so magnetic, it was almost obnoxious.
I didn't come here to make friends.
We were born to be suburban legends.
When you hold me, it holds me together.
You kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever.
I had the fantasy that maybe our mismatched star signs would surprise the whole school.
You'd be more than a chapter in my old diaries with the pages ripped out.
I know that you still remember.
We were born to be national treasures.
You told me we'd get back together.
I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to do it.
You don't knock anymore and my whole life's ruined.
IS IT OVER NOW?
You still wouldn't go.
Let's fast forward to three hundred takeout coffees later.
I see your profile and your smile on unsuspecting waiters.
You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor.
You search in every maiden's bed for somethin' greater.
Was it over when she laid down on your couch?
Was it over when he unbuttoned my blouse?
Was it over then?
Is it over now?
Your new girl is my clone.
Did you think I didn't see you?
At least I had the decency to keep my nights out of sight.
Only rumors 'bout my hips and thighs and my whispered sighs.
Oh, Lord, I think about jumpin' off of very tall somethings just to see you come runnin'.
Say the one thing I've been wanting.
Let's fast forward to three hundred awkward blind dates later.
If she's got blue eyes, I will surmise that you'll probably date her.
You search in every model's bed for somethin' greater.
SWEETER THAN FICTION
You never saw it comin'.
Now you've come undone.
Wish I could make it better.
Someday, you won't remember this pain you thought would last forever and ever.
I will say, "I knew it all along".
This life is sweeter than fiction.
All you got are your shattered hopes.
They never saw it comin'.
Now you're on to somethin'.
Proved me right when you proved them wrong.
It's like we don't remember the rain we thought would last forever and ever.
All at once, the rest is history.
Look at you now.
You've made us proud.
You know that I'll be there time and again.
