while i breathe, i hope

“You’re a sweet talker.”

“Someone still loves you.”

“And if you lose, boo hoo.”

“You need me, don’t you?“

“You’re not gonna make it.”

“I don’t know if I will survive.”

“They were the best of times.”

“And nobody owes you, now.”

“Always had high, high hopes.”

“But, nobody knows you, now.”

“Now it looks like a wasteland.”

“And I don’t feel anything at all.”

“I guess it just ain’t big enough.”

“This is the oddest of summers.”

“Everything about you is perfect.”

“Sorry to get sentimental tonight.”

“I was gonna be that one in a million.”

“I’m filthy as charged, filthy as charged.”

“They were the best of times of your life.”

“And there’s only memories when it’s over.”

“Burn your biographies, rewrite your history.”

“Some only live to die, I’m alive to fly higher.”

“Didn’t know how, but I always had a feeling…”

“Didn’t have a dime but I always had a vision.”

“Been waiting for somebody else to carry me.”

“There’s nothing else there for me at my door.”

“I don’t trust anything or anyone, below the Sun.”

“All the people I know aren’t who they used to be.”

“Been traveling in packs that I can’t carry anymore.”

“So, pour out some liquor, make it an old fashioned.”

“All my life been hustling and tonight is my appraisal.”

“Far away to a place where I’m free from the weight…”

“We were swallowing the nights like we had nine lives.”

“Everything about you is perfect, down to your blood type.”

“Every face along the boulevard is a dreamer just like you.”

“This is what it feels like when you become one of the drunks.”

“Heaven knows that I’m born too late for these ghosts that I chase.”“
