sincerely, me

THE OTHER SIDE

“ right here, right now ”

“ i don’t want to chase you down ”

“ i know you see it ”

“ i can cut you free ”

“ trade that typical for something colourful ”

“ if it’s crazy, live a little crazy ”

“ you can play it sensible, a king of conventional, or you can risk it all and see ”

“ don't you wanna get away from the same old part you gotta play? ”

“ i got what you need ”

“ come with me and take the ride ”

“ oh, damn! suddenly you're free to fly ”

“ i hate to tell you, but it just won't happen ”

“ i quite enjoy the life you say i'm trapped in ”

“ i admire you, and that whole show you do ”

“ you're onto something, really it's something ”

“ don't you know that i'm okay with this uptown part i get to play? ”

“ oh, damn! can't you see i'm doing fine? ”

“ is this really how you like to spend your days? ”

“ if i were mixed up with you, i'd be the talk of the town ”

“ let me give you the freedom to dream ”

“ well, it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly ”

“ you'd want a piece of all the action ”

“ i wasn't born this morning ”

NEVER ENOUGH

“ i'm trying to hold my breath ”

“ you set off a dream with me ”

“ take my hand, will you share this with me? ”

“ all the stars we steal from the night sky will never be enough ”

“ towers of gold are still too little ”

“ these hands could hold the world but it'll never be enough ”

THIS IS ME

“ i’m not a stranger to the dark ”

“ hide away, they tell me ”

“ we don't want your broken parts ”

“ i've learned to be ashamed of all my scars ”

“ no one'll love you as you are ”

“ i won't let them break me down to dust ”

“ i know that there's a place for us ”

“ we are glorious ”

“ when the sharpest words wanna cut me down, i'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out ”

“ i am brave, i am bruised ”

“ i am who i'm meant to be ”

“ this is me ”

“ look out 'cause here i come ”

“ i’m not scared to be seen ”

“ i make no apologies ”

“ another round of bullets hits my skin ”

“ fire away 'cause today, i won't let the shame sink in ”

“ we are bursting through the barricades ”

“ i know that i deserve your love ”

“ there's nothing I'm not worthy of ”

REWRITE THE STARS

“ you know i want you ”

“ you know i want you, it's not a secret i try to hide ”

“ i know you want me ”

“ i know you want me, so don’t keep saying your hands are tied ”

“ fate is pulling you miles away and out of reach for me ”

“ you’re here in my heart ”

“ who can stop me if i decide that you're my destiny? ”

“ what if we rewrite the stars? ”

“ say you were made to be mine ”

“ nothing could keep us apart ”

“ you'd be the one i was meant to find ”

“ no one can say what we get to be ”

“ maybe the world could be ours ”

“ you think i don't want to run to you? ”

“ there are doors that we can't walk through ”

“ you're going to wake up and see that it was hopeless after all ”

“ no one can rewrite the stars ”

“ how can you say you'll be mine? ”

“ everything keeps us apart ”

“ i'm not the one you were meant to find ”

“ all i want is to fly with you ”

“ all i want is to fall with you ”

“ just give me all of you ”

“ how do we rewrite the stars? ”

“ i can’t have you ”

“ we’re bound to break ”

“ my hands are tied ”

TIGHTROPE

“ some people long for a life that is simple and planned ”

“ some people won't sail the sea 'cause they're safer on land ”

“ i'd follow you to the great unknown ”

“ we promised to never let go ”

“ we’re walking the tightrope ”

“ we can see the whole world down below ”

“ it's all an adventure that comes with a breathtaking view ”

“ you pulled me in and together we're lost in a dream ”

“ i risk it all just to be with you ”

“ will you catch me if i should fall? ”

FROM NOW ON

“ i saw the sun begin to dim and felt that winter wind blow cold ”

“ a man learns who is there for him when the glitter fades and the walls won't hold ”

“ what remains can only be what's true ”

“ it led me back to you ”

“ from now on these eyes will not be blinded by the lights ”

“ from now on what's waited till tomorrow starts tonight ”

“ let this promise in me start like an anthem in my heart ”

“ i drank champagne with kings and queens ”

“ the politicians praised my name ”

“ those are someone else's dreams ”  

“ for years and years i chased their cheers ”

“ when i stop and see you here i remember who all this was for ”

FOR FOREVER

“ grab a scoop. ”

“ pick a spot. ”

“ there’s nowhere else i’d rather be. ”

“ follow me! ”

“ one foot after the other. ”

“ i’m on the ground. ”

“ he’s come to get me. ”

“ everything’s okay. 

SINCERELY, ME

“ we’ve been way too out of touch. ”

“ things have been crazy. ”

“ it sucks that we don’t talk that much. ”

“ i should tell you that i think of you each night. ”

“ i’m just trying to tell the truth. ”

“ this needs to be perfect. ”

“ life without you has been hard. ”

“ kinky! ”

“ i miss talking about life and other stuff. ”

“ shut up. ”

“ i like my parents.”

“ i love my parents. ”

“ each day’s another fight. ”

“ just fix it! ”

“ if i stop smoking pot then everything might be alright. ”

“ i’ll take your advice. ”

“ i’ll try to be more nice. ”

“ i’ll turn it around. ”

“ all that it takes is a little reinvention. ”

“ it’s easy to change if you give it your attention. ”

“ all you gotta do is just believe you can be who you wanna be. ”

“ are we done yet? ”

“ stop doing drugs. ”

“ just try to take deep breaths. ”

“ you’ll be obsessed with all my forest expertise. ”

“ dude, i’m proud of you. ”

“ just keep pushing through. ”

“ my sister’s hot. ”

“ what the hell? ”

“ my bad. ”

“ thanks for every note you send. ”

“ i’m just glad to be your friend. ”

“ our friendship goes beyond your average kind of bond. ”

“ no, not because we’re gay. ”

“ we’re close, but not that way. ”

“ the only man that i love is my dad. ”

“ you’re getting better every day. ”

“ i’m getting better every day. ”

“ we’re getting better every day. ”

“ miss you dearly. ”

REQUIEM

“ why should i play this game of pretend? ”

“ oh, don’t the tears just pour? ”

“ i could give in to all of the gloom. ”

“ why should i have a heavy heart? ”

“ why should i start to break in pieces? ”

“ why should i go and fall apart for you? ”

“ why should i play the grieving girl? ”

“ i will sing no requiem. ”

“ i gave you the world, you threw it away. ”

“ i hear your voice, i feel you near. ”

“ i know that you are still here. ”

“ why should i say i’ll keep you with me? ”

“ when the villains fall, the kingdoms never weep. ”

“ no one mourns at all. ”

“ don’t tell me that i didn’t have it right. ”

“ don’t tell me that it wasn’t black and white. ”

“ after all you’ve put me through. ”

“ don’t say it wasn’t true. ”

“ you were not the monster that i knew. ”

“ i cannot play the grieving girl. ”

IF I COULD TELL HER

“ he thought you were awesome. ”

“ there’s nothing like your smile. ”

“ you never knew how wonderful that smile could make someone feel. ”

“ whenever you get bored you scribble stars on the cuffs of your jeans. ”

“ you still fill out the quizzes that they put in those teen magazines. ”

“ he kept it all inside his head. ”

“ though he wanted to, he couldn’t talk to you. ”

“ she’s everything to me. ”

“ we’re a million worlds apart. ”

“ i don’t know how i would even start. ”

“ did he say anything else? ”

“ it looked pretty cool when you put indigo streaks in your hair. ”

“ he wondered how you learned to dance like all the rest of the world isn’t there. ”

“ what do you do when there’s this great divide? ”

“ he just seemed so far away. ”

“ what do you do when the distance is too wide? ”

“ it’s like i don’t know anything. ”

“ how do you say i love you? ”

“ i love you. ”

DISAPPEAR

“ guys like you and me we’re just the losers. ”

“ no one seems to care. ”

“ keep them thinking of me. ”

“ make me more than an abandoned memory. ”

“ someone will see that you are there. ”

“ no one deserves to be forgotten. ”

“ no one deserves to fade away. ”

“ no one should come and go. ”

“ no one deserves to disappear. ”

“ you’ve always been that barely-in-the-background kind of guy. ”

“ you still matter. ”

“ you can’t escape the feeling that the world’s passed you by. ”

“ if you never get around to doing some remarkable thing, that doesn’t mean that you’re not worth remembering. ”

“ think of the people who need to know. ”

“ you need to show them. ”

“ all you want it for somebody to find you. ”

“ all you need is for somebody to find you. ”

“ we have to do this. ”

“ i didn’t realise ______ meant this much to people. ”

“ oh, ______, this is wonderful! ”

YOU WILL BE FOUND

“ have you ever felt like nobody was there? ”

“ have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere? ”

“ have you ever felt like you could disappear? ”

“ let that lonely feeling wash away. ”

“ maybe there’s a reason to believe you’ll be okay. ”

“ when you don’t feel strong enough to stand, you can reach out your hand. ”

“ someone will come running. ”

“ i know they’ll take you home. ”

“ you will be found. ”

“ you’ll reach up and you’ll rise again. ”

“ lift your head and look around. ”

“ have you seen this? ”

“ someone put a video of your speech online. ”

“ your speech is everywhere. ”

“ i don’t understand- what happened? ”

“ there’s a place where we don’t have to feel unknown. ”

“ i can’t stop watching this video. ”

“ every time that you call out, you’re a little less alone. ”

“ take five minutes. ”

“ this will make your day. ”

“ thank you, ______, for doing what you're doing. ”

“ it's so easy to feel alone. ”

“ the morning is breaking. ”

“ you are not alone. ”

TO BREAK IN A GLOVE

“ this glove’s really cool, wow. ”

“ i bought this glove a thousand years ago. ”

“ i thought we might play catch. ”

“ you can’t catch anything with it that stiff. ”

“ if you’re in the market for professional advice, then today could be a lucky day for you. ”

“ it just takes a little patience. ”

“ it takes a little time. ”

“ you might not think it’s worth it. ”

“ you can’t take any shortcuts. ”

“ you gotta stick it out. ”

“ it’s the hard way, but it’s the right way. ”

“ with something like this, you gotta be ready to put in the work, make the commitment. ”

“ everyone around you thinks you’re crazy. ”

“ everyone around you lets things go. ”

“ you’re trying to do what’s best. ”

“ ______ was really lucky to have a dad who cared so much about taking care of stuff. ”

“ you’re good to go. ”

ONLY US

“ i don’t need you to sell me on reasons to want you. ”

“ i don’t need you to search for the proof. ”

“ you don’t have to convince me. ”

“ you don’t have to be scared you’re not enough. ”

“ what we’ve got going is good. ”

“ i don’t need more reminders of all that’s been broken. ”

“ i don’t need you to fix what i’d rather forget. ”

“ clear the slate and start over. ”

“ try to quiet the noises in your head. ”

“ what if it’s us? ”

“ what if it’s you? ”

“ what if it’s me? ”

“ i never thought there’d be someone like you who would want me. ”

“ that’s all that i’ve wanted for longer than you could possibly know. ”

“ it’s not so impossible. ”

“ nobody else but the two of us here. ”

“ you’re saying it’s possible. ”

“ we can just watch the whole world disappear. ”

“ you’re the only one i still know how to see. ”

GOOD FOR YOU

“ so you’ve found a place where the grass is greener. ”

“ are they giving you a world i could never provide? ”

“ i hope you’re proud of your big decision. ”

“ i hope it’s all that you want and more. ”

“ you say what you need to say so that you get to walk away. ”

“ it would kill you to stay trapped when you’ve got something new. ”

“ i’m sorry you had it rough. ”

“ i’m sorry i’m not enough. ”

“ thank god they rescued you. ”

“ you got what you always wanted. ”

“ you got your dream come true. ”

“ you did what you had to do. ”

“ does it cross your mind to be slightly sorry? ”

“ do you even care that you might be wrong? ”

“ i hope you had a blast while you dragged me along. ”

“ you say what you need to say, and you play who you need to play. ”

“ if somebody’s in your way, crush them and leave them behind. ”

“ go ahead, you can cut me loose. ”

“ i’ll shut my mouth and i’ll let you go. ”

“ i’ll just sit back while you run the show. ”

“ all i need is some time to think. ”

“ the boat is about to sink. ”

“ tell me, how could i change the story? ”

“ stop it, stop it! ”

“ just let me out! ”

WORDS FAIL

“ i never meant to make it such a mess. ”

“ i never thought that it would go this far. ”

“ there’s nothing i can say. ”

“ i guess i thought i could be part of this. ”

“ i never had this kind of thing before. ”

“ i never had that perfect girl who somehow could see the good part of me. ”

“ i never had the dad who stuck it out. ”

“ mom was all that she had to be. ”

“ nothing can make sense of all these things i’ve done. ”

“ sometimes, you see everything you wanted. ”

“ it’s right there. ”

“ you want to believe it’s true. so you make it true. ”

“ this was just a sad invention. ”

“ it wasn’t real, i know. ”

“ we were happy. ”

“ i guess i couldn’t let that go. ”

“ i guess i couldn’t give that up. ”

“ i guess i wanted to believe. ”

“ if i just believe, then i don’t have to see what’s really there. ”

“ i’d rather pretend i’m something better than these broken parts. ”

“ pretend i’m something other than this mess that i am. ”

“ i don’t have to look at it. ”

“ no one gets to look at it. ”

“ no one can really see. ”

“ what if everyone saw? ”

“ what if everyone knew? ”

“ all i ever do is run. ”

SO BIG/SO SMALL

“ i told you not to come outside. ”

“ you saw that truck and you smiled so wide. ”

“ a real life truck in your driveway. ”

“ it’s just me and my little guy. ”

“ the house felt so big. ”

“ i felt so small. ”

“ that night, i tucked you into bed. ”

“ i knew there would be moments that i’d miss. ”

“ i knew there would be space i couldn’t fill. ”

“ i knew i’d come up short a billion different ways. ”

“ your mom isn’t going anywhere. ”

“ your mom is staying right here. ”

“ no matter what. i’ll be here. ”
