In the morning she always has tears in her eyes,
And at night she falls asleep to the sound of her cries.
She carefully covers the scars on her skin,
Not wanting to show the pain her heart is in.

You promise yourself,
Just one more time.
It's been awhile,
But that's all you need.
One more cut,
To set you free.

Teardrops fall from those pretty eyes
It's kind of hard to move on when you're only told lies
She's breaking down, everyone's fading
It's been so long and she's tired of waiting

She painted on a smile and learned how to pretend…

All those scars on her arms, don’t worry she says they’re little notes to remind her how many times you hurt her

I feel so worthless
I feel like no one cares
I'm standing here screaming
Though no one seems to be aware

Often I look into the mirror looking for something beautiful, but all I can see is me…

And even though nobody's looking she's slowly falling apart

Sometimes new love comes between old friends…sometimes the best love was the one that was already there

She has everything and more…Yet she still breaks down in tears at night….
I guess there really is….more than meets the eye...

And it only hurts when I’m breathing … my heart only breaks when it’s beating … my dreams only die when I’m dreaming… so I hold my breath to forget....

"The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that's what you've given me. That's what I'd hoped to give you forever."

I've said what I needed to say. I've done what I needed to do. Now whatever happens to us, I guess I'll leave up to you.

I tell you goodbye with tears in my eyes. I wish I were there to stay by your side. The time passes by, but not fast enough. I try to be strong but I'm not that tough.

You're the reason I live, you're the reason I'd die. You're the reason I smile, yet break down and cry. You're the reason I keep going and the reason I fall. But without you in my life I'm nothing at all.

It's time to let you go. It's time to say good-bye. No more excuses, no more tears to cry. There have been so many changes. I've been so confused. All along you were the one. All the time I never knew. I want you to be happy. You're my best friend. But it's so hard to let you go now, with all that could have been. I'll always have the memories. She'll always have you. Fate has a way of changing just when you don't want it to. Throw away the chains. Let love fly away. Till love comes again...I'll be okay.

Frustrated 'cause I can't tell if it's real. Mad 'cause I don't know how you feel. Upset 'cause I can't make it right. Sad cause I need you all night. Angry cause you won't take my hand. Aggravated cause you don't understand. Disappointed that we're not together, but I'll still love you forever.

It's kinda hard to go out with someone, when you know, deep down, you're still in love with somebody else.

How do you prepare a heart to be broken,
or dreams to fall through?
How do you let go of a miracle,
that means everything to you?
How do you walk away
with tears in your eyes?
Letting go isn't easy.
Just pray you'll survive

It's so important to hold onto the memories, and yet sometimes you just have to wonder whether the memories are the things that are holding you back.

Sad isn't it? How no matter what you do or say to me...when you come running back...when you need me again...I'll be here...right here waiting for you. I'll take you back...no questions asked. Sad isn't it?

In a perfect world
There is no pain
There is no suffering
There is no disappointment
There is no fear
There is no emptiness
But this world is not a perfect one
And I am not what I appear to be

When you love someone, you take the good with the bad. When you need someone, you trust them with all you've ever had. When you want someone, you give them everything. When you trust someone, you give them anything. But, what do you do when they leave?

My heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still flow. What it meant to lose you, no one will ever know.

There are three types of people in this world: the ones who keep you alive, the ones who would otherwise cause you to die, and the ones who somehow manage to do both at the same time.

Some break-ups are like broken mirrors...It's better to leave it shattered than to hurt yourself trying to put it back together

It's hard to love someone who's in love with someone else. You have to ignore the pain and swallow your pride just to be a friend. But that's all worth it because sometimes friendship lasts longer than love.

If we could decide who to love... it would be so much simpler…. But way less magical.

"Sometimes I look at you and you seem to be looking at me. But sometimes you look away...like you're afraid of what might happen if you stare for just a second longer."

"I'm afraid of loving you, 'cause the next step is losing you, and my heart couldn't do that."

"I am afraid to show you who I really am, because if I show you who I really am, you might not like it... and that's all I got."

"Maybe the deepest part of who we are is what scares us or breaks our hearts and we don't want to share that with anyone and when we do, we don't want to lose those people." - Another Woman's Husband

"It's getting weird, I used to be able to say anything to you and do anything around you. Now I just avoid you for fear of falling for you more than I already have." - Allison Mosher

"I'm afraid that I'm not enough for you, and I never will be, and if I do this, you'll realize that you've grown way beyond me and I'm just going to lose you again." - Dawsons creek

"I've been trying not to love you, I've been putting up a fight. I've been barely holding on and letting go with all my might. There's a part of me that's empty, I know only love can fill. I'm afraid I'll never find it and scared to death I will." - Mark Wills

"I’ve spent years building this complex series of booby traps so that nobody would ever get too close, and then you came along with that big beating heart of yours and broke all those walls down, and it’s just really scary. What if I lose you?"

"Believe in your dreams. Sometimes they're all you've got."

“Here i am again, and I’m staring at these same four walls alone again, and now all the colors blend, and I’m growing numb, and I’ve become this empty page.” - ashlee simpson

“I’m sick of screaming. these words have died. everything you’ve ever said to me, it means nothing now. all the lies you ever fed me; i should spit right back in your face. they were words.. just words.”

“It’s just something that happens as you grow up—you realize it’s less important to have more friends and more important to have real ones.”

"The secret to being happy is realizing that no matter how bad life is, it can always get worse."

"Never be scared to tell someone you love them, even though they may break your heart, you may break theirs if you don't."

"Don't give up on your lost causes, you never know when your luck will change." - Dawson's Creek

"Don't let yourself become so angry that you stop loving, because one day, you'll wake up from that anger, and the person you love will be gone." - Dawson's Creek

"No matter where life takes you -- big cities, small towns -- you will inevitably run across small minds. People who think they are better than you, people who think that being pretty or popular automatically makes you a worthwhile human. None of these things matter as long as you have a strength of character, integrity . . . sense of pride. So when you meet someone for the first time, don't judge them by their situation in life, because you never know, they may end up being your very best friend." - Dawson's Creek

"You wanted a kiss. Is that all you wanted? Are you prepared for everything that comes with that kiss? Cause it doesn't just end with a fade out. There are repercussions. Hearts get broken, friendships get ruined. Your entire life could fall apart because of one kiss. That's what you have to look forward to. So do yourself a big favor -- don't rush it." - Dawson's Creek

"People change, even the person you thought you knew the most, changes. And even though it hurts to see them go; you have to move on, for the memories are all you have, and things might never be the same."

"You lost yourself in your search to find something else to hide behind. You gotta stand up and you gotta stand still, watch your back cause no one else will." – Lifehouse

"Never say goodbye because saying goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting." - Peter Pan

"Sometimes, no matter how long or hard you've loved someone, they'll never love you back. And sometimes, you have to be okay with that."

"So hold her closer when she cries, hold her closer when she feels she needs a hand to hold, someone who'll never let her go again. And hold him closer when he tries to hold the tears back from his eyes. Don't say good-bye. Don't say good-bye." - Blessid Union of Souls

"Don't say you love somebody and then go change your mind, love isn't what movie you're going to watch."

"You closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them too, even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling." - Tuesdays with Morrie

"These are something I know for certain: always throw spilled salt over your left shoulder, keep rosemary by your garden gate, plant lavender for luck, and fall in love whenever you can." - Practical Magic

"Never lie in bed at night and ask yourself questions you can't answer."

"If it's meant to be, it really will be. Girls are always scared that someone better will come along even though deep down there can't be someone better. Like...there can't ever be someone who could offer him as much as I can. But you just have to trust him. And that he'll make the right decision and won't let any other emotions block his vision. Or rather his heart."

"In life, you don't find too many people with the ability to give you butterflies, so when you do, tell that person, otherwise life would be like living in your own personal prison." - Dawson's Creek

"If you're going to go through hell . . . I suggest you come back learning something." - Drew Barrymore

Stop and make sure that everything you are doing right now is really what makes you happy. You can't just live for some goal in the future and have that be everything … have that be it. Because that is what some people do. They get on this road and there are all these signs saying, 'This way. That way.' But what if you get there, you get exactly what you wanted, like some people do, except all the things that were wrong, are still wrong. Then what?" - Party of Five

"Enjoy all the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things."

"Keep wearing your heart on your sleeve like that and you'll bleed to death."

"You just have to let yourself go and not be worried about what other people are going to say or the things that might come out …just jump right in full force and be as silly and stupid and adolescent and introspective as you want to be."

"Don't let the world bring you down, not everyone here is that fucked up and cold." – Incubus

"Life can take your dreams and turn them upside down, friends will talk about you when you're not around, reality can really cut you down to size, but don't ever loose the light in your eyes. People make you promises they'll never keep, soon you'll know why people say talk is cheap, life resembles one big compromise but don't ever lose the light in your eyes." - Leann Rimes

"Basic rule number one: never rely on the guy." – 90210

"Watch your thoughts, they become your words. Watch your words, they become your actions. Watch your actions, they become a way of life. Watch your way of life, it becomes your destiny."

"We talk like we know what's going on, but we don't. We don't know anything. We're really young and we're gonna screw-up a lot. We're gonna keep changing our minds and even sometimes our hearts. And through all that, the only real thing we can offer each other is forgiveness. I couldn't do that. Or at least I did it too late. Don't make my mistake. Don't let yourself be so angry you stop loving. Because one day you'll wake up from the anger, and the person you love will be gone." - dawson's creek

"Wait for the boy who pursues you, the one who will make an ordinary moment seem magical, the kind of boy who brings out the best in you and makes you want to be a better person. wait for the boy who will be your best friend, the person who will drop everything to be with you at anytime of the day no matter what the circumstances. wait for the boy who makes you smile like no other and when he smiles you know he needs you. wait for the boy who wants to show you off to the world when you're wearing sweats and no makeup. most of all wait for the boy who will put you at the center of his universe, cause obviously he's at the center of yours."

"Friends are like television. Some are like PBS and always asking for money, others are like the news with sad tales to tell every day, some are like that one station with the foreign language, you don't understand a word of it but you watch and listen anyway; and then there are the ones like commercials: always changing, ever so annoying and only seem to be there when you're bored, but every once in a while you meet someone who's like a really good movie of the week or a tv show you hardly ever get to see anymore because you're so busy. My point is: hold on to the friends that you care about and since we don't have a remote control to mute someone or just change the channel, pick your friends carefully."

“When making your choices in life...don't neglect to live."

“I buried myself in accomplishments, because with accomplishments, I believed I could control things, I could squeeze in every last piece of happiness before I got sick and died”

"I'm afraid I'll end up alone. I'm scared that I'm always gonna be the 'sister' or 'friend' or the 'confidant,' not quite somebody's everything. I'm scared that I'll never find a guy that I'll love as much as I love you." - Dawson’s Creek

"Maybe it was something I said. Maybe it was something I did. But then again, maybe it was something I didn't say, but wanted to. And something I wanted to do, but didn't."

"I want to say I'm sorry, I want you to know I care. I want to say I'm blind for seeing something that wasn't there. I should have been more trusting, and listened to my heart, cause you're the only thing I need and it's tearing me apart."

"I remember every word you said, okay? I'm not that naive and I'm not that stupid. I've been broken before, I can deal. I'm not scared of moving on with my life. What I'm scared of is that I'll realize somewhere along the road, that you were my life."

"I need you, I don't know why but every now and then for no reason at all, I need you."

"I never stopped feeling for you, I just stopped letting it show."

"I'm not supposed to love you, I'm not supposed to care. I'm not supposed to live my life wishing you were there. I'm not supposed to wonder where you are or what you do. I'm sorry I can't help myself, I'm in love with you."

"The hurt began to fade and it was easier to just let go. At least I thought it was. But in every boy I met in the next few years, I found myself looking for you, and when the feelings got too strong I'd write you another letter. But I never sent them, in fear of what I might find. By then, you'd gone on with your life and I didn't want to think about you loving someone else. I wanted to remember us like we were that summer. I didn't want to ever forget that." - Nicholas Sparks

"What's sad is that I'm scared. I'm scared I'm never going to find anyone who loves or wants me as much as he did. I'm scared I'm not going to have my one day. My one day of the beginning of my life."

"I miss you a little, I guess you could say.... a little too much, a little too often, a little more every day." - John Michael Montgomery

"I have come to realize that he's just a guy, a special one maybe, but he's not mine. I don't need to do things to make him love me again. If he wanted to, he would."

"And the sad part is, that no matter what goes on this year, when you come running back to me again, you know I'll be here." - Dawson's Creek

"Do I still love you? Of course I still love you. Do I still need you? Maybe, but I'm not so sure. I don't know if I really need anyone...so I think I'm going to let go. And I know it's going to hurt, I'll still cry myself to sleep every night. But eventually, I won't cry anymore. Maybe I'll even find someone else to love and care about as much as I do for you, although I doubt that. I'm not so sure though...maybe I should wait a little longer..."

"I guess you get used to somebody, you kind of like havin' them around. I guess you get used to the way they make you happy, bring you up when you're feeling down. I never dreamed when I was letting you go that I would wake up and miss you this much. I guess you get used to somebody. I guess you get used to bein' loved."

"Everything changes eventually, that's just the way life is and you have no control over it.. like, suddenly, people who you think are always going to be there.. they disappear.. you know, people die and they move away.. and they grow up."

"Suicide is man's way of telling God, 'You can't fire me - I quit.'"

"I love sleep...my life has a tendency to fall apart when I'm awake."

"I'm trapped inside my own mind -- afraid to open my eyes, cause of what I'd find and I don't want to live like this anymore." – Lifehouse

"Things are never what they seem, I'm stuck inside of someone else's dream. Problems never go away ... I'm sick of being caught in yesterday." - The Ataris

"I love rain because it hides my tears so well."

"My biggest fear is that I will become too comfortable with the idea of being lonely for the rest of my life."

"I’m having one of those moments when everything is so perfect and you get kinda sad because you know nothing in your life will ever be better than this moment."

"I don't know what's wrong. Don't know why I feel the way I do. I just know its killing me."

"Everyone is always asking me what's wrong… but I don't even think it makes any sense, it's just… my heart hurts."

"There are these two sides of me constantly at war. One side wants to be happy and loving while the other wants to curl up and die. And they push each other and shove each other tearing me apart inside and the sad part is no one will ever win."

"I'm a hopeless romantic. I believe in wishing on stars, soul mates, and love that never ends. But yet, sometimes I feel like the only single person alive. I feel so alone. No matter what I try to do, I'm left in solitude. Maybe I try to hard. Maybe I really am hopeless."

"I don't know what I want in life. I don't know what I want right now. All I know is that I'm hurting so much inside that it's eating me, and one day, there won't be any of me left. Everything that ever caused a tear to trickle down my cheeks, I run away and hide from it. But now, everything is unwinding and finding its way back towards me. And I don't know what to do. I just know that the pain I felt so long ago, it's hurting ten times more."

"Why is it no matter how much pain it endures by holding on . . . the heart refuses to let go?"

"Why do people think it's okay for them to do horrible things to other people as long as they apologize afterwards?" – 90210

"Why is it that when girls fall in love, we cry, we hurt, and it feels like we got kicked right in the stomach when he says good-bye? But when we say goodbye, all of that happens to us again, because all he's doing is walking away, free, no caring at all. "

"Did you ever lay your head down on the shoulder of a good friend, and then had to look away somehow? Had to hide the way you felt for them? Did you ever pray the day would come and you'd hear them say they feel it too? Did you ever love somebody who never knew?"

"What if we already met the right person, but we weren't ready to fall in love?"

"What if what we are looking for.....doesn't exist?" - Boys and Girls

"Did you ever wonder if the person in the puddle is real, and you're just a reflection of him?" - Calvin and Hobbes

"How long can you pretend to be perfectly happy before someone starts seeing the cracks?"

"Do you ever stop and think that maybe you should have said something, maybe just that one moment could have turned everything around, maybe they would be yours…"

"When you think about it...your love life could be like a frustrating movie. Everyone is yelling at the screen, 'tell him you love him,' but you just can't seem to get it out."

"Throughout all of this confusion, I hope I somehow get to you. I practice all the things I'd say to tell you how I feel, and when I finally get my chance it all seems so surreal. Cause from the first time I saw you I only thought about you- I didn't know you, I wanted to hold on to the things you'd NEVER say to me.." - Good Charlotte

"Maybe she fell in love with him or maybe she just wanted someone to pay attention to her."

"It's agony. Complete, excruciating agony. It's like your heart is being ripped out of your chest and stomped on. You can't breathe, you don't want to eat, you can't function. It's the most intense pain you'll ever feel, and the worst part is there's no way to relieve it. It's unyielding, merciless torture. And you know it's yours for life." - Dawson's Creek

"It's funny how you still love the person but you just stop needing them like you used to." - Dawson's Creek

"Letting go isn't a one-time thing, it's something you have to do everyday, over and over again." - Dawson's Creek

"We're all strangers to our parents; they love us, but they don't really know us. And sometimes before we get a chance to know them, they're gone. And then you can't ask them all the things you want to know about turnips or turkey gizzards or what they were like when they were young. Then you never can know them, not really. Because it's too late." - dawson's creek

"I did an undefendable thing, I created my own prison and I have to exist in it. Maybe I had a wish or whatever, to punish you. An unconscious wish, you've heard of them, right?" - My So-Called Life

"You don’t know, you don’t understand, not for one second. You think you understand, but you don’t. You just analyze everything until it barely even exists." - My So-Called Life

"I am not the kind of girl who thinks a guy is the answer to everything... I'm just tired being alone." - My So-Called Life

"Growing up is never easy. You hold on to things that were. You wonder what's to come. But that night, I think we knew it was time to let go of what had been and look ahead to what would be. Other days, now days, days to come. The thing is, we didn't have to hate each other for getting older. We just had to forgive ourselves for growing up. " - The Wonder Years

"Change is never easy. You fight to hold on, you fight to let go." - The Wonder Years

"You start out life with a clean slate. Then you begin to make your mark. You face decisions, make choices. You keep moving forward. But sooner or later there comes a time where you look back over where you have been... and wonder who you really are. " - The Wonder Years

“Remember when i told you what girls want? Girls just want someone to want them back- at least I do.” - One tree hill

“There's no shame in being afraid. Hell, we're all afraid. What you gotta do is figure out what you're afraid of, because when you put a face on it you can beat it. Better yet, you can use it.“ - One Tree Hill

There's a good side to getting hurt a lot...after a while it just doesn't bother you as much.

Sometimes bad things happen for no reason, no purpose. They just occur and we're left to pick up the pieces the best we can. – Felicity

All my life, I have felt like there was some part of me missing and I felt that everyone could tell, like there was some hole in me, and everyone could see through it … like I wasn’t finished or something.

I don't steal and I don't lie, but I can feel and I can cry. A fact I bet you never knew. But to cry in front of you ... that's the worst thing I could do. ~ Grease

Tears are the silent lullaby that carries you to sleep ... heartaches that your soul just couldn't keep.

Real tears are not those that fall from the eyes and cover the face, but those that fall from the heart and cover the soul.

The saddest thing in the world is to love someone who use to love you

Just when I think I'll be okay, something happens & once again I don't know what to say…

Sometimes it's easier to forget about things than it is to deal with them.

I want to be that girl he's scared to lose, the one who he can’t walk away from knowing she’s mad at him, the one who can't fall asleep without her voice being the last one he hears, the one he wouldn't know what to do without...

I locked up my feelings & threw away the key …But somehow, it all came back to me….

I never thought I'd die alone
I laughed the loudest who'd have known?
I trace the cord back to the wall
no wonder it was n never plugged in at all
I took my time, I hurried up
the choice was mine I didn't think enough
I'm too depressed to go on
but you'll be sorry when I'm gone

The scariest thing about memories is thinking you're going to forget them.

"I used to cry because I didn't think I was loved, now I cry because I don't think I deserve to be."

"Forgetting doesn't make it all better, it just makes it hurt again when I remember."

"Someone should sue Disney for planting the ideas in little kids heads that every girl has a prince and everything ends up happily ever after."

"There's just some days when it all seems to be wrong and nothing feels right."

"I can't take it anymore. Everyone thinks I'm indestructible; the girl who never flinches; the girl who always has a smile on her face; the girl that's gone through so much yet doesn't have one scar -- and I'm tired of it! I don't want to live behind a wall of laughter and smiles anymore. I want people to understand me. I want people to understand how hard it is to be me and to have to deal with all this crap and still be expected to be happy. It's not fair. Why is it that everyone else can just fall apart but I have to be the one to keep it together?"

"You never see my tears, but that doesn't mean I don't cry. You never feel my pain, but that doesn't mean I don't hurt. You only see me smile, and that doesn't mean that I am happy." - Michelle Burns

"It hurts to smile... and you try to fit in, and you can't..." - Girl, Interrupted

"I tried to drown my problems -- but they can swim."

"Some people wear their smiles like a disguise. Those people who smile a lot, watch their eyes. I know cause I'm like that a lot. You think everything's okay, and it is till it's not."
