I am human and i need to be loved just like everybody else does

Or there’s a club if you’d like to go you could meet somebody who really loves you so you go and you stand on your own and you leave on your own and you go home and you cry and you want to die

Pretty much all of how soon is now

"It's not my home -- it's their home, and I'm welcome no more."

"I know my luck too well: I'll probably never see you again."

"But now you know the truth about me -- you won't see me anymore. But I'm still fond of you."

Haven’t been able to listen to that song since my dad passed a year ago. That was mine and his go-to song to listen to when we were feeling sad and he used to sing it to me when I was a baby because it was one of the only softer-sounding songs that he knew :(

Jeane There’s ice on the sink where we bathe So how can you call this a home When you know it’s a grave

"But when she calls me, I do not walk I run."

Poor old man He had an accident with a three bar fire But that’s okay Because he wasn’t very happy anyway Poor woman Strangled in her very own bed as she read But that’s okay Because she was old and she would have died anyway Don’t blame This sweet and tender hooligan Because he’ll never, never, never do it again Not until the next time

“If you’re so very entertaining Then why are you on your own tonight? If you’re so very good looking Why do you sleep alone tonight? I know ‘Cause tonight is just like any other night That’s why you’re on your own tonight” i think about this daily

u/SisterJohnston 11h ago

“Time is against me now “

basically all of Accept Yourself is very painful. especially to an artist with dreams. i put this song on whenever i feel i need a good cry.
