1.Non so… cosa ne pensi? 2.Credo di non stare dicendo ciò che penso davvero 3.Se lo facessi? 4.Non voglio essere respinta 5.Beh, credo di respingerti tutte le volte 6.Quindi cosa sto dicendo? 7.Se fingessimo che uno dei due morirà domani? 8.E di essere estranei 9.Cambierebbe le cose?10. 11.Le tue spalle sono rivolte verso di me dopo avermi dato al buona notte 12.Vedendole, mi vengono in mente gli animali allo zoo 13.Quanti anni sono passati da quando abbiamo iniziato a condividere i pasti ed un letto? 14.È un problema che davvero non dovremmo toccare15. 16.Le cose che faccio per confortarmi 17.Crescono sempre di più giorno dopo giorno 18.Se coloro che ballano sono solli, e quelli che guarda altrettanto 19.Perché non ballare di tanto in tanto?*20. 21.Non va bene averne troppo 22.Ma non sono neanche sicura di quanto averne zero vada bene 23.Cioè, hai bisogno delle cose di cui hai bisogno 24.E io ho bisogno solo del necessario per vivere la giornata, un po’… 25.…Di orgoglio26. 27.Ma sono troppo orgogliosa 28.Troppo orgogliosa29. 30.Anche se c’è qualcuno al mio fianco 31.Invece, vorrei solo essere toccata 32.Dallo sguardo di uno sconosciuto33. 34.Yo… Lei non mi ama come usava amarmi, whoa 35.È come se mi avvicinassi troppo e le si rifiutasse di abbracciarmi, oh 36.Vedi, lei non è molto affettiva 37.Vuole solo del tempo per stare da sola 38.Perché stai cancellando tutti i tuoi messaggi? 39.Cosa nascondi sul tuo telefono? 40.No, non mi fido della tua onestà 41.L’amore è maledetto dalla monogamia 42.Non continuare a colpire in modo giusto 43.Potresti vedere qualcosa che non vorrai vedere 44.Va bene dire che avevi bisogno del tuo spazio personale 45.Se ti dessi quel benestare 46.Non ci sono motivi per lasciarci 47.Ma aspetta, c’è una cosa che devo dire 48.Sono stufo dei giochetti 49.Vederti cambiare, posso vederlo sul tuo volto 50.Sei così piena di te stessa nei tuoi modi 51.Vedi, è strano 52.Come devo prendermi la colpa 53.Quando sono colui a trovarsi sotto la pioggia 54.Yo, tutte queste lacrime continuano a cadere su di me 55.Niente più chiamate a notte fonda per me, no 56.Spero tu possa renderti conto di quanto sia dura senza di me 57.Perché dobbiamo imparare a creare nuovi legami 58.Sono caduto nelle tue lacrime e ho lasciato che mi affogasse 59.Perché sono troppo orgoglioso per essere troppo orgoglioso 60.Lo dico orgogliosamente61. 62.Orgoglio, orgoglio 63.Ma sono troppo orgogliosa 64.Troppo orgogliosa
