Bon Iver: And I told you to be patient, and I told you to be fine. I told you to be balanced, and I told you to be kind. But now all your love is wasted, and then who the hell was I?
Death Cab: So one last touch, and then you'll go and we'll pretend that it meant something so much more. But it was vile, and it was cheap, and you are beautiful, but you don't mean a thing to me. Yeah, you are beautiful, but you don't mean a thing to me
Radiohead: But I can't help the feeling I could blow through the ceiling if I just turn and run. And it wears me out. It wears me out. If I could be who you wanted, if I could be who you wanted all the time... all the time.
Brand New: You are calm and reposed, let your beauty unfold. Pale white like the skin stretched over your bones, spring keeps you ever close. You are secondhand smoke, you are so fragile and thin, standing trial for your sins. Holding onto yourself the best you can. You are the smell before rain, you are the blood in my veins.
Nicki Minaj: You a stupid hoe, you a, you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a, you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a, you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a, you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a, you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a, you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a, you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a, you a stupid hoe.

You are falling in love with my insecurities, and my obsession with trying to figure out what everyone thinks of me. You are falling love with my immaturity, my constant need to feel loved and appreciated, my overactive tear ducts, my internet obsession, my tendency to be too clingy. You fall...

The what ifs and what could’ve beens are called counterfactuals (from the book Fourth Comings by Megan McCafferty).
“‘What ifs.’ Counterfactuals. Hypotheticals. All the same thing. All a waste of time and energy. Because no matter how long you ponder them, it doesn’t change the reality of the situation…”

Dear apple of my eye, I’m a mess. I should be labeled with warnings like, EXTREMELY FRAGILE. HANDLE WITH CARE. HAZARDOUS CONTENTS. So at least I told you now, you’ll find out later. I’ll put you through hell just to see if you’ll stick around. It’s because I’m used to people leaving, once they get to know me a little better. Am I afraid of myself? How...
