FALL OUT BOY 

‘  am i more than you bargained for yet?  ’ ‘  cause that’s just who i am this week.  ’ ‘  isn’t it messed up how i’m just dying to be him?  ’ ‘  i confess, i messed up.  ’ ‘  i don’t blame you for being you, but you can’t blame me for hating it.  ’ ‘  darling, what did you expect?  ’ ‘  i could have died with you.  ’ ‘  let’s play this came called ‘when you catch fire i wouldn’t piss to put you out.’  ’ ‘  breaking hearts has never looked so cool.  ’ ‘  you were the last good thing about this part of town.  ’ ‘  i’m not a shoulder to cry on, but i digress.  ’ ‘  i wrote the gospel on giving up.  ’ ‘  joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of best friends.  ’ ‘  my back is breaking from this heavy heart.  ’ ‘  thanks for the memories even though they weren’t so great.  ’ ‘  see, he tastes like you, only sweeter.  ’ ‘  get me out of my mind and get you out of those clothes.  ’ ‘  i’m a liner away from getting you into the mood.  ’ ‘  last year’s wishes are this years apologies.  ’ ‘  we’re the new face of failure. prettier and younger, but not any better off.  ’

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE

‘  what’s the worst that i can say?  ’ ‘  things are better if i stay.  ’ ‘  so long and goodnight.  ’ ‘  and then we’ll meet again when both our cars collide.  ’ ‘  never think i’ll make you try to stay.  ’ ‘  i don’t love you like i did yesterday.  ’ ‘  fix your eyes and get up.  ’ ‘  i never said i’d lie and wait forever.  ’ ‘  you are never coming home.  ’ ‘  if you wanted honesty that’s all you had to say.  ’ ‘  i never want to let you down or have you go.  ’ ‘  i’m not okay.  ’ ‘  for the last time, take a good hard look.  ’ ‘  when i was a young boy my father took me into the city to see a marching band.  ’ ‘  we’ll carry on.  ’ ‘  your misery and hate will kill us all.  ’ ‘  the world will never take my heart.  ’ ‘  go and try, you’ll never break me.  ’ ‘  give a cheer for the broken.  ’ ‘  teenagers scare the living shit out of me.  ’ ‘  you’re never gonna fit in much, kid.  ’

TAKING BACK SUNDAY 

‘  can’t you just forget it?  ’ ‘  i started something i couldn’t finish.  ’ ‘  if we go down, we go down together.  ’ ‘  everything i know about breaking hearts i learned from you.  ’ ‘  i’ve made long term plans based on these mistakes.  ’ ‘  don’t let it get to your head.  ’ ‘  boys like you are a dime a dozen.  ’ ‘  you’re a touch overrated.  ’ ‘  you’e a lush and i hate it.  ’ ‘  all i need to know is that i’m something you’ll be missing.  ’ ‘  maybe i should hate you for this.  ’ ‘  i’d never lie to you unless i had to.  ’ ‘  the truth is that you could slit my throat and with my one last gasping breath, i’d apologize for bleeding on your shirt.  ’ ‘  you are everything i want cause you are everything i’m not.  ’ ‘  i just wanna break you down so badly in the worst way.  ’ ‘  i’m gonna make damn sure that you can’t ever leave.  ’ ‘  you won’t ever get too far from me.  ’ ‘  your lipstick, his collar… don’t bother, angel. i know exactly what goes on.  ’ ‘  will you tell all your friends you’ve got your gun to my head?  ’ ‘  that all was only wishful thinking.  ’

PANIC AT THE DISCO

‘  am i who you think about in bed?  ’ ‘  i’ve got more wit, a better kiss, a hotter touch, a better fuck.  ’ ‘  sweetie, you had me.  ’ ‘  no, no, no, you know it will always be me.  ’ ‘  i hope you didn’t expect to get all of the attention.  ’ ‘  what a shame, the poor groom’s bride is a whore.  ’ ‘  haven’t you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?  ’ ‘  i mean, technically our marriage is saved.  ’ ‘  it’s much better to face these things with a sense of poise and rationality.  ’ ‘  it’s just the end of the world.  ’ ‘  things are shaping up to be pretty odd.  ’ ‘  now i’m the only one to blame.  ’ ‘  things have changed for me, and that’s okay.  ’ ‘  northern downpour sends its love.  ’ ‘  you clicked your heels and wished for me.  ’ ‘  i know the worlds a broken bone.  ’

ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS

‘  your subtleties, they strangle me.  ’ ‘  i can’t explain myself at all.  ’ ‘  maybe it’s best you leave me alone.  ’ ‘  i can’t explain what you can’t explain.  ’ ‘  it ends tonight.  ’ ‘  when you see my face, i hope it gives you hell.  ’ ‘  truth be told, i miss you.  ’ ‘  truth be told, i miss you. and truth be told, i’m lying.  ’ ‘  if you find a man that’s worth a damn and treats you well then he’s a fool.  ’ ‘  you’ll never see what you’ve done to me.  ’ ‘  you can take back your memories, they’re no good for me.  ’ ‘  let me know what i’ve done wrong.  ’ ‘  you are the only one that needs to know.  ’ ‘  i’ll keep you my dirty little secret.  ’ ‘  don’t tell anyone or you’ll be just another regret.  ’ ‘  speak to me.  ’ ‘  when all you got to keep is strong, move along.  ’ ‘  when everything is wrong, we move along.  ’ ‘  i’m dreaming of her.  ’ ‘  the nights are long and i am left while the tears fall.  ’ ‘  did you think that i would cry on the phone?  ’ ‘  do you know what it feels like being alone?  ’ ‘  i’ll find someone new.  ’ ‘  can you help me find a way to carry on again.  ’
