Enough said.

"So Nice, So Smart" - Kimya Dawson
Say shut up and quit your crying. Give it time and you'll be fine. You're so nice, and you're so smart. You're such a good friend I have to break your heart. I'll tell you that I love then I'll tear your world. Just pretend I didn't tear your world apart.

Absolutely nothing you could say to change my mind.

She lies and says she's in love with him.

"Long Nights" - Piebald
Everything that makes you feel tired.

"Every You, Every Me" - Placebo

You do it to yourself.

It's too late to apologize.

Memory will rust and erode into lists of all that you gave me: a blanket, some matches, this pain in my chest, the best parts of lonely.

She's all I've got and I don't want to be alone.

"Impossible Germany" - Wilco
This is important but I know you're not listening.
