let me tell you how it will be.

be thankful i don't take it all.

don't ask me what i want it for.

my advice for those who die? declare the pennies on your eyes.

you're working for no one but me.

look at all the lonely people.

who is it for?

where do they all come from?

where do they all belong?

look at him working.

what does he care?

nobody came.

no one was saved.

i'm still yawning.

please don't wake me.

leave me where i am.

i'm only sleeping.

everybody seems to think i'm lazy.

i don't mind.

i think they're crazy.

please don't spoil my day.

each day just goes so fast.

love me while you can.

a lifetime is so short.

what you've got means such a lot to me.

we make love all day long.

i'll make love to you if you want me to.

to lead a better life, i need my love to be here.

nobody can deny that there's something there.

someone is speaking.

i want her everywhere.

to love her is to need her everywhere.

i will be there.

in the town where i was born lived a man who sailed to sea.

our friends are all aboard.

full steam ahead!

cut the cable! drop the cable!

every one of us has all we need.

i know what it's like to be dead.

i know what it is to be sad.

she's making me feel like i've never been born.

who put all those things in your head?

you don't understand what i said.

no no, you're wrong!

i know that i'm ready to leave.

i've got something i can laugh about.

i feel good in a special way.

i'm in love, and it's a sunny day.

i'm so proud to know that she is mine.

tell me that you've got everything you want.

you don't get me.

you can't see me.

look in my direction.

she no longer needs you.

you want her, you need her.

you think she needs you.

he'll be there any time at all.

he does everything he can.

take a drink from his special cup.

you're feeling fine.

my head is filled with things to say.

when i get near you, the games begin to drag me down.

i want to tell you i feel hung up, but i don't know why.

i don't mind.

i could wait forever. i've got time.

sometimes i wish i knew you well.

i didn't know what i would find there.

did i tell you i need you every single day of my life?

you were meant to be near me.

i want you to hear me.

when i'm with you, i want to stay there.

turn off your mind.

do you think you would have liked me if we met back then?

if i asked you to marry me... right now... what would you say?

could you ever imagine us together?

what if we're not meant to survive this?

if you found out you only had 24 hours to live, what would you do?

what if your life went differently? where do you think you'd be?

i bet we would have been best friends as kids.

could you imagine a world like that?

would you say yes if i asked you on a date?

what if only one of us gets out?

i wish we'd dated sooner.

what if they don't like me?

what superpower would you choose, if you had to pick one?

i wonder what that would be like.

i bet we'd be married by now, if things had gone differently.

i'll never stop considering the "what-ifs."

have you ever pictured us as a couple?

what does your perfect future look like?

do you think you might see me as more than a friend?

ever thought about the future?

what if we're not meant to be together?

but what if there's only one bed? what then?

if we get through this, what's the first thing we should do?

where do you see yourself in ten years?

if a higher power exists... i wonder what they think of us.

maybe we could try going on a date. see what happens.

i've always wondered if you'd ever look my way.

what words would [name] use to describe you?

what would be your strategy for an apocalypse?

could you ever see me as something more?

if we ever make it out of here, where will we go?

what do you think lies ahead?

what if i'm not meant to do this?

if we get trapped, we need to come up with a plan.

have you ever wondered what our kids would look like?

is there more to life than this?

do you ever wish we'd met each other sooner?

i always wonder what would have happened.

if you could ask your future self one question, what would it be?

if you could snap your fingers right now and be anywhere you want, where would you pick?

do you think we have any chance of surviving this?

i'm trying to picture a world where we get through this in one piece.

what if this doesn't end well?

what if we get stuck there?

if a genie gave you three wishes, what would you ask for?

what if everyone stares at me?

i've been working like a dog.

i should be sleeping like a log.

you know i work all day to get you money, to buy you things.

it's worth it just to hear you say you're gonna give me everything.

why on earth should i moan?

when i get you alone, you know i feel okay.

when i'm home, everything seems to be right.

i should have known better with a girl like you.

i never realized what a kiss could be.

this could only happen to me.

can't you see?

you're gonna say you love me, too.

i should have realized a lot of things before.

if this is love, you've got to give me more.

if i fell in love with you, would you promise to be true?

help me understand.

i've been in love before.

i found that love was more than just holding hands.

if i give my heart to you, i must be sure.

don't run and hide.

don't hurt my pride like her.

i couldn't stand the pain.

i would be sad if our new love was in vain.

i hope you see that i would love to love you.

i couldn't stand the pain.

i'm so happy when you dance with me.

i don't wanna kiss or hold your hand.

try and understand.

there is really nothing else i'd rather do.

i'm happy just to dance with you.

i don't need to hug or hold you tight.

i just want to dance with you all night.

i've discovered i'm in love with you.

that's all i do.

she gives me everything.

a love like ours could never die.

as long as i have you near me.

tell me why you cried.

tell me why you lied to me.

i gave you everything i had.

you left me sitting on my own.

did you have to leave me?

if it's something i'd have said or done, tell me what, and i'll apologize.

if you don't, i really can't go on.

i'm holding back these tears in my eyes.

if you'll only listen to my pleas.

is there anything that i can do?

i'm so in love with you.

i really can't stand it.

i'll buy you a diamond ring.

i'll get you anything.

i don't care too much for money.

i may not have a lot to give, but what i've got, i'll give to you.

money can't buy me love.

everybody tells me so.

any time at all, all you gotta do is call.

there is nothing i won't do.

when you need a shoulder to cry on, i hope it will be mine.

call me tonight and i'll come to you.

i've got every reason on earth to be mad.

i've just lost the only girl i had.

if i could get my way, i'd get myself locked up today.

i can't, so i'll cry instead.

i've got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger than my feet.

if i could see you now, i'd try to make you sad somehow.

i get shy when they start to stare.

i'll come back again someday.

you say you will love me if i have to go.

you'll be thinking of me.

somehow i will know.

i will remember things we said today.

you say you'll be mine.

i got a whole lot of things to tell her.

i'm gonna see my baby today.

i got no business being here with you.

i got something to say that might cause you pain.

if i catch you talking to that boy again, i'm gonna let you down and leave you flat.

i told you before, you can't do that.

it's the second time i've caught you talking to him.

do i have to tell you one more time?

i think it's a sin.

they'd laugh in my face.

i can't help my feelings.

you know, if you break my heart, i'll go.

i'll be back again.

i love you so.

❛ i'm the asshole? what does that make you then? ❜

❛ sometimes i think you must hate me. ❜

❛ i thought you said you never wanted to see me again. ❜

❛ if you want me to go, then you have to tell me to leave. ❜

❛ well, someone's cranky today. ❜

❛ well, someone needs to shut the fuck up. ❜

❛ just stay out of my way. ❜

❛ of all the idiots in the world, i'm stuck with you. ❜

❛ what is it you want this time? ❜

❛ sometimes i wonder if you're in love with me. ❜

❛ do you honestly think this is easy for me? ❜

❛ why would i ever want to be friends with you? ❜

❛ can we please just talk? ❜

❛ there is nothing for us to talk about. ❜

❛ you can yell at me later. just let me help you. ❜

❛ touch me, and you're dead. ❜

❛ oh, so now you care? ❜

❛ there is something deeply wrong with you. ❜

❛ i know i'm the last person you probably want to see, but... ❜

❛ you don't think we could be friends, do you? ❜

❛ i'm tired of fighting against you. ❜

❛ don't pretend you give a shit about me. ❜

❛ you're an idiot, but... i trust you. ❜

❛ oh, don't be cute. ❜

❛ wait, did you just say that i'm cute? ❜

❛ we're not good for each other. ❜

❛ if i say yes, will you shut up? ❜

❛ don't you have to be stupid somewhere else? ❜

❛ maybe we should kiss just to break the tension. ❜

❛ i'm sorry i can't turn off my feelings as easily as you. ❜

❛ maybe there's a universe out there where we're friends. ❜

❛ how can you be so smart yet so dumb at the same time? ❜

❛ don't think this changes anything between us. ❜

❛ you look ridiculous in that outfit, by the way. ❜

❛ if you die, i'll kill you. ❜

❛ is that a challenge? ❜

❛ ah, so you're not heartless after all. ❜

❛ i don't think i've ever seen you smile. ❜

❛ you never cared about me, so why now? ❜

❛ why didn't you kill me when you had the chance? ❜

❛ i don't even remember why we started fighting. ❜

❛ i don't have time for distractions right now. ❜

❛ you're not as bad as everyone says you are. ❜

❛ i ain’t talkin’ to you when you’re like this. ❜

❛ you don’t seem surprised to see me. ❜

❛ dressing like this... is this for you or your clients? ❜

❛ i used to lie to men like that. but you don’t have to anymore. you have the power now. ❜

❛ you are good at telling people what they wanna hear. ❜

❛ i see the way you smile when you want people to think you’re enjoying something you ain’t. ❜

❛ i see how you smoke more when you’re thinking, and you drink more when you’re sad. ❜

❛ i see how hard you work, how smart you are… and how you wish the people who matter would notice. ❜

❛ no one else believes in you like me. no one else is gonna give you what you deserve. ❜

❛ just don’t give up on me. ❜

❛ you gotta know your place, or you’re gonna catch a bullet. ❜

“ I WAS JUST wondering if I had something on my face. ” small awkward chuckle. he usually gets weird glances and shrugs them off but he was curious about this one.

"Your nose."

Did he get THAT joke? Eh, it wasn't her best work.

Darcy scooched over a little bit, twisted and pulled a leg up to curl her arm around.

“ so why were you staring ? ” he questioned. “ I mean I get stares all the time obviously but I guess this time I had to ask. ” did it sound like people were just checking him out all the time? he didn’t mean it like that — with the whole hero thing you get stared at almost without doubt.

❛ a guardian angel. a spirit of comfort. spirit of any celestial sphere. anything. hear my call. ❜

❛ you wakened me from an eternity of darkness. ❜

❛ you are not for the living. you are not for human kind. ❜

❛ and shall you be one with me ever-eternally? ❜

❛ come here. there’s nothing to be afraid of. ❜

❛ i wish i could stay, my love. ❜

❛ why have you killed these beautiful flowers? ❜

❛ i must tell you my dream. ❜

❛ i’d never been so happy as that moment… as i held hands with death. ❜

❛ i wish you to have all you deserve. ❜

❛ you mustn’t leave. i love you too much. ❜

❛ i will stay with you until you are fast asleep. ❜

❛ uh, forgive me. i only wish to stay one night. ❜

❛ by god’s name, never speak of that castle. ❜

❛ i banish you, i banish you with garlic. ❜

❛ beware of his shadow. ❜

❛ the shadow covers you in a nightmare. ❜

❛ you are late. the midnight hour has passed. ❜

❛ i wish you to do as i request. ❜

❛ i will be addressed as the honor of my blood demands it.❜

❛ speak not of it again! ❜

❛ take heed what you do. ❜

❛ i might ease your wound. ❜

❛ come by the fire. ❜

❛ your face shows you unwell. ❜

❛ do you ever feel at times as if you were not… as if you were not a person? ❜

❛ look at the sky. look at the sea. does it never call to you, urge you? ❜

❛ you are fortunate in your love. ❜

❛ now are we neighbors. ❜

❛ it is late. you must wish to retire. ❜

❛ i have been enduring the most irregular dreams. i fear i am taken ill. ❜

❛ it is a black omen to journey in poor health. you will remain and well rest yourself. ❜

❛ dream of me. only me. ❜

❛ oh, he’s coming to me. ❜

❛ i cannot resist you, my love. ❜

❛ i am no one. i am his servant. ❜

❛ look, this is a pretty one. his lordship likes the pretty ones… ❜

❛ you are lost in his shadow. ❜

❛ soon i will no longer be a shadow to you. ❜

❛ soon our flesh shall embrace and we shall be as one. ❜

❛ i have not failed your lordship! ❜

❛ embrace me, my boy. i am so rejoiced to see you. ❜

❛ my dear creature, yes, i am he, and i am hither come to help you. ❜

❛ my dreams grow darker. ❜

❛ does evil come from within us or from beyond? ❜

❛ i shall persist to join you every night… first in sleep, then in your arms. ❜

❛ everything will be mixed with abomination, and you’ll be knee-deep in blood. ❜

❛ you are promised to me! ❜

❛ i will end this plague. this devil. ❜

❛ he hasn’t found you. ❜

❛ i feared i’d never see you again. ❜

❛ you shall crave of me nothing. ❜

❛ the bells of dawn shall toll in despair of my coming. and i shall taste of you. ❜

❛ pray, forgive me for all the troubles i have caused you. ❜

❛ i am only glad you have become yourself again. ❜

❛ may i… stay with you tonight? ❜

❛ this creature is a force more powerful than evil. it is death itself. ❜

❛ i have seen things in this world that would’ve made isaac newton crawl back into his mother’s womb. ❜

❛ i have wrestled with the devil as jacob wrestled the angel in peniel. ❜

❛ if we are to tame darkness, we must first face that it exists. ❜

❛ i have felt you crawling like a serpent in my body. ❜

❛ love is inferior to you. ❜

❛ i told you, you are not of humankind. ❜

❛ i am an appetite. nothing more. ❜

❛ i lay within the darkest pit. till you did wake me, enchantress, and stirred me from my grave. ❜

❛ you are my affliction. ❜

❛ i care nothing of your afflictions. ❜

❛ yet even now we are fated. ❜

❛ your passion is bound to me. ❜

❛ you cannot love. ❜

❛ yet i cannot be sated without you. ❜

❛ remember how once we were? ❜

❛ i abhor you. ❜

❛ i will leave you three nights. tonight was the first. ❜

❛ tonight you denied yourself, and thereby, you suffer me to vanish up the lives of those you love. ❜

❛ you revel in my torture. ❜

❛ upon the third night, you will submit, or he you call your husband shall perish by my hand. ❜

❛ till you bid me come shall you watch the world become as naught. ❜

❛ tell me, what is this insufferable darkness? ❜

❛ nothing you can say will shake me, for there is a devil in this world, and i have met him. ❜

❛ i’ve brought this evil upon us. ❜

❛ i sought company. i sought… tenderness, and i called out. ❜

❛ at first, it was sweet. i had never known such bliss. yet it turned to torture. ❜

❛ it was you that gave me the courage to be free of my shame. ❜

❛ he took me as his lover then, and now he has come back. ❜

❛ all my sleeping thoughts are of him every night. ❜

❛ don’t touch me! i am not to be touched. ❜

❛ i’ll be good. i promise. ❜

❛ you could never please me as he could. ❜

❛ yes! take me! ❜

❛ kiss me. kiss my heart. ❜

❛ let him see. let him see our love. ❜

❛ without you, i will become a demon. ❜

❛ you’re safe with me. ❜

❛ keep away from me. i am unclean. ❜

❛ he will murder you if i do not go to him. ❜

❛ kill him i will. he shall never harm you again. ❜

❛ i can weep no longer, for i have no more tears to shed. ❜

❛ the grim reaper wields his heavy scythe with every change of wind. ❜

❛ the monster left you to the wolves, yet you prevailed. ❜

❛ his pull to me is so powerful, so terrible, yet my spirit cannot be evil as his. ❜

❛ we must know evil to be able to destroy it. ❜

❛ you are our salvation. ❜

❛ i bid you, come to me. ❜
