“Sweet heart, bitter heart
Now I can't tell you apart
Cozy and cold
Put the horse before the cartThose teenage hopes
Who have tears in their eyes
Too scared to own up
To one little lie.”

“Methinks we must have known some former state
More glorious than our present, and the heart
Is haunted with dim memories, shadows left
By past magnificence; and hence we pine
With vain aspirings, hopes that fill the eyes
With bitter tears for their own vanity.”

and we let the most foolish things tear us apart”
