“They can't hurt me. I'm not like the rest of you. There's no one left I love.”

“I can't trust the people I care about not to hurt me. And I'm not sure I can trust myself not to hurt them, either.”

“We're One but We're not the same. Well, We hurt each other and We'll do it again. You say love is a temple, Love a higher law. Love is a temple, Love a higher law. You ask Me to enter, then You make Me crawl. And I can't be holding on to what you got, when all You've got is hurt.”

“You don't know me, but I know about you… I can't make you live longer. I can't stop you from hurting. But I can give you one wish, as someone did for me.”

“Well, it's New Year's now but I don't feel that way anymore. I wonder if you do either. Something's happening to me. It's like I'm shrinking smaller and smaller and I can't stop it. There's just so much wrong that I can't imagine the shame in admitting even the tiniest part of it. When you left it was like there was this huge gap to fill, but instead of spreading wide enough to do it I just fell right in, and I'm still falling. Like I'm half-asleep, and I can't wake up, can't wake up….”

“I feel a little like the moon who took possession of you for a moment and then returned your soul to you. You should not love me. One ought not to love the moon. If you come too near me, I will hurt you.”

“Now it's
O-over
But I do admit I'm sad
It hurts real bad
I can't sweat that, 'cause I loved a ho”

“You don't know me. You know one me, just like I know one you. And you can't know every me, and I can't know every you.”

“I dare you to take me on
I dare you to show me your palms
I'm so bored of cowards who say they want (love)
Then they can't handle love”

“I can’t win. Love is Russian roulette for me. No one loves the real me inside. they're all in love with my fame, my stardom.
I fall in love far too quickly and end up getting hurt all the time. I've got scars all over. But I can't help myself because basically I'm a softie I have this hard, macho shell — which I project on stage but there's a much softer side. too, which melts like butter.”
