what an empty epitaph that is.

i might find love.

in a way, who's the cuck?

why do i care what you have to say?

no, you're not lonely when you're hanging with yourself.

the world can be so cruel.

i'm crawling out of my skin.

i know that's my future looking right back at me.

it's a picture in his wallet.

i trust my information 'cause i know my source is good.

sing yourself a song.

so see you later, live and be well.

i'm counting on love

come back home.

everyone has secrets, but not everyone can fool a man like that.

how many times?

i heard these words today, it ain't gonna feel good.

i feel for your situation, but listen to me, if you would.

what to do?

things get hard, you don't know what to do.

it's so funny.

why aren't you picking up?

you think the game isn't fair.

we had such a pretty thing.

are you gonna do what they tell you to?

you doubt me now?

you said he looked just like a girl, so you like girls.

i'm better, without you no more.

one day here, the next she's gone.

it's over.

remember to try and forget.

no, this isn't a joke.

carry on with that song.

good luck with that.

through it all i miss you, babe.

i'm sad that you would say what you said yesterday.

every day is better with you.

sorry, it was a bit of a mix up.

is it all the same that i'm not giving up?

don't you wish you could be somebody else?

go back to the start to see the reason why.

what does it say about us?

i'll follow the rules and do what i'm told.

what you do you want from me?

i'll outlast the hate to find real love that's not pretend.

well you better believe me, darling.

there she is, gap-tooth smile.

don't forget where you've come from.

does the gold spoon do it the same or was silver enough?

god, how lucky can a simple man be?

there's always that fear that i'm not enough.

we can't be friends when this is done.

there's a crux to everything.

i'm awake.

thank me now, for when the sun's down, we're gonna be warm.and

you know i wouldn't do that kind of thing to you.

something special's happening.

things were always heavy when things didn't go your way.

the fire's on, it takes a day for the water to boil.

it's not fair, it's love.

i was wrong, and eventually the clock was always gonna stop.

i was naive, unsure about it.

do you have regret boy? let it rest.

the connection is real.

haven't seen you again, i guess that's our swan song.

my future's not what i thought, i think i thought it wrong.

is it really like this?

met another man. no, he wasn't like me.

yeah, is that what you want?

that work just won't do itself.

my old apartment isn't looking too good.

just looking hot and keeping monotone and understated.

you're not quick enough

i worried, even cried.

why when you look back, do you look past the bad?

wait your turn, the gift's the time it takes.

hey, it's me. i miss you.

yeah, you can count me out.

it's taking everything right outta me.

you're primitive, ideas are naive.

i'm running through the snow again.

i got your back any day.

i still trust in love.

so what will you choose, your heart or your pride?

i'm glad that you're okay.

the past's the past.

i'll just wait another day.

life's funny, isn't it?

i took it for granted, all that you do.

you just gonna let fear take that?

tell me, what's that song?

thought i couldn't live without you.

for the rest of my life, i'll pay my dues.

maybe you show me how.

come and find me.

well, tomorrow you'll be shaking my hand.

when will spring come again?

i don't wanna live a life where that's my big exchange.

how can i convince myself? convince myself to stay?

yeah, the future's over.

you must do what's right.

life keeps swallowing, that's why i learned to cook.

when will the movement end?

i couldn't change it so don't ask me anymore.

in my dreams, i'm back on you.

my intention was to make you proud.

i do it all for you.

you won't forget me when i move away.

i'm a boat that's sinking.

i don't want your money.

i just graduated top of my class, furthest from last.

dry those eyes.

you picked me up every time.

unfortunately, we're gonna need you.

this chapter is through.

i wish i could release ya.

that can wait another day.

shouldn't loose ends come back to mend?

show your family that the heart can ache.

could you really be so self-satisfied?

is he gonna love you like i would?

i knew a girl, she brought me life.

come on, pretty baby.

buddy, i remember who you are.

big man, who are you?

i always do what's right.

you left your cards face up on the table.

how does it feel?

why's my heart pounding, beating out of my chest?

life can bring you down.

try to forget? i've tried.

let me introduce this sugar candy of mine.

yes, i know who you are.

hey, sorry to let you know last minute.

it's all an act, i'm cold 'cause i'm weak.

i've seen this movie before.

when will i release myself?

don't pin me down.

how can i repay the due?

will you give it back?

you can count on me, i'm leaning back on you.

i guess i'll take it.

i think i've heard this song.

we're sitting dead on the ground, there's nothing more to be said.

i'll try for all of my life.

yeah, you are what you eat.

that makes one of us.

guess i'll play along.

your future's right out the door.

hurt doesn't fade, it always lingers.

i'd lay my life down on the line for you, that's the truth.

would you mind calling me back?

come on, swallow that.

my future's up in the air.

now i take the train, it's good enough for me.

deep down inside, there's nothing unique.

it feels like a big waste of time.

what about him, though?

no, i don't look back in anger. do you?

now i drive a truck and it drives pretty well.

that doesn't sound like real love.

how'd it feel to take the light from my life?

i followed every winding road and the path it took me to.

let it out from inside you.

hey, it's been too long.

who's gonna love you like i could?

i got a feeling that a break is gonna happen maybe right now.

i try not to blame.

is that you?

be serious.

please tell me that things get easier.

don't drag me anymore.

i swear i've had this dinner before.

i think my teacher was a massive bully back in the day.

i just don't care like they think i do.

you understand, you help me see it through.

i'm mad that you could live and love me like you did.

let it be what it is.

maybe you can show me how.

i'm done.

i guess i'll thank you and spite your name again.

like a witch i know, i need my potion.

gotta show you a couple of things.

am i just another gel man?

i'm built different, i don't work like that.

that's my little missus, she's my number one.

no, i don't need that bad information.

i'm emancipated out on my own.

i'm in heaven.

jesus, dude, chill.

i really miss you.

i think you're scared of being basic.

you leave much to be desired.

one heart could beat for the two of us.

man, it's always sad to go.

it's like my capacity to love and give has changed.

it's not funny.

no, i won't be lonely anymore.

don't listen to him, just listen to me.

oh god, i wish i could delete ya.

you told me yourself that he didn't love you, that he didn't care.

just give it time.

what does it say about me?

i'm a sucker for looks.

whatcha taking from the rightful lender?

every single step that you take is just another one back.

i've shot this picture before.

they don't know what's right.

i often think about you.

just gotta focus

i'll just keep moving on.

the sun is out.

i used to say i didn't have a brother, i guess i can't say it anymore.

i want simple pleasures, friends who have my back.

i know you're probably on your way, but we're not gonna get to you tonight.

i'm driving up to our place.

i salute the time we had but love can't break the spell.

so goodbye until next time my dear friend.

will i ever know the story?

anything's cool if it's done with heart.

what does it mean to love somebody?

i was there to comfort you with all respect gone.

i cannot dream, this one's not for me.

i'm packing up my things again.

i wonder who is on this island with me..

i see right through your skin.

it's not over till it's done.

lonesome is a state of mind.

i don't care for fame

i can't do this anymore.

that's ironic 'cause it's reading like you're even more basic.

why do i feel so bad?

don't try and show me the way.

how did he get so confident?
