“You're the one who's nearly
Breaking my heart;
Had your chance
You just threw it all away.
Living in a world that
You could never be a part of,
And now is a time to walk away.”

“My heart stopped. It just stopped beating. And for the first time in my life, I had that feeling. You know, like the world is moving all around you, all beneath you, all inside you, and you're floating. Floating in midair. And the only thing keeping you from drifting away is the other person's eyes. They're connected to yours by some invisible physical force, and they hold you fast while the rest of the world swirls and twirls and falls completely away.”

“I see you around sometimes and my heart just melts.
You're looking like if you had your wish, you'd be somewhere else.
And it just breaks my heart to see you here this way.
Someday I'll get the nerve to walk up to you and say
This is the last worthless evening that you'll have to spend.
Just gimme a chance to show you how to love again.”

“What's the point of living if you're going to hate the world? Guard your heart if you have to, but don't shut it away.”

“I don't hate you, I love you, you're part of myself, you're my heart and when you go it's my heart torn out and carried away”

“Admire the world for never ending on you -- as you would an opponent, without taking your eyes away from him, or walking away.”

“I have to warn you. I promised my mother, a long time ago. She said I had to give folks a chance to walk away.”

“You never give away your heart; you lend it from time to time. If it were not so how could we take it back without asking?”

“a good woman will pick you apart
a box full of suggestions for your possible heart
and you may be offended. and you may be afraid
but don't walk away, don't walk away”

“There was a man once who said that mothers carry the key of our souls with them all our lives. But you threw mine away”
