(excerpt from the film st. elmo's fire) It's true love, my friend. Love, love, you know what love is? Love is an illusion created by lawyer types like yourself to perpetuate another illusion called marriage to create the reality of divorce and then the illusionary need for divorce lawyers. Love's an illusion. It's the only illusion that counts my friend Says who? Anyone who's ever been in love. Love sucks. So does your attitude.

its fourth of july and im sitting inside cuz my friends made plans without me beginning of july, in the summer time and my friends made plans without me all, all my friends made plans without me all, all my friends made plans without me

i'll keep you near my heart, you'll never be warm again. i felt yr skin get coler, i'll watch you lose yr friends. and now i won't feel bad, when i say i told you so. i should've started running, a long time ago. i sat smoking a cigarrette, as i watched the trees. i watched them lose their color, i watched them lose their leaves. i'm sorry for my past self, and i'm sorry for me now. i hope that i'm this cruel, when i'm burning in hell.

yeah i’m just a fuck up, but so are you but i’ve gotten better, thanks to you. i’ve lost some weight, and i lost friends i wasted time, met closer ends. if you say a calendar is a waste of time, then tear me off, let me die. if you call a calendar a waste of time, then tear me off, i want to die.

you say yr tired of me well i'm tired of myself that's why i liked having you around that's why i act like someone else and i know that it's selfish to carry these expectations but after so much disappointment you just run out of patients you say yr tired of me well i'm tired of myself that's why i liked having you around that's why i act like someone else and i know that it's selfish to carry these expectations but after so much disappointment you just run out of patients you say yr tired of me well i'm tired of myself that's why i liked having you around that's why i act like someone else and i know that it's selfish to carry these expectations but after 17 goddamn years i've lost my patients

I remember the day you appeared on this earth With eyes like the ocean, got blood on my shirt From my camera angle it looked like it hurt But your mama had a big old smile We drove you home, saw your yellowing skin Packed a few things and drove you back again Stayed up all night worrying, wondering What was gonna make it better Broken bones heal when you set them right Get your fine tooth comb from the barbicide Our love's a protective poison Well you are your mother's child And she'll keep you for a while But someday you'll be grown and then you'll be on your own Halloween costume, looking real cute With your pillowcase full, in your astronaut suit But your cousin the cowboy is eyeing your loot Better watch your Snickers bar Out on the diamond, now you're up to bat Chewing your big league, adjusting your hat Taking a swing and hearing it crack Look at that apple fly Tears will dry if you give them time Life's a roller coaster, keep your arms inside Fear that's a big emotion Well you are your mother's child And she'll keep you for a while But one day you'll be grown and then you'll be on your own Posing for pictures, cap and a gown Summer is coming, you're driving around town Everyone's asking what you're gonna do now I know you're gonna make a splash And find you a sweetheart to treat you so kind Invite her to dinner and kiss her goodnight What I couldn't teach you, you will realize She's the only thing that matters Although he's a bastard, make your papa proud Your a fine young man and I got no doubt That you're gonna do this better Cause you are your mother's child She had you for a while But now that you're grown, may you never be on your own Well now that you're grown, may you never be on your own

Long ago And oh so far away I fell in love with you Before the second show Your guitar It sounds so sweet and clear But you're not really there It's just the radio Don't you remember you told me you love me baby? You said you'd be coming back this way again baby Baby baby baby baby, oh baby I love you, I really do Loneliness Is such a sad affair And I can hardly wait To be with you again What to say To make you come again Come back to me again And play your sad guitar Don't you remember you told me you love me baby? You said you'd be coming back this way again baby Baby baby baby baby, oh baby I love you, I really do Don't you remember you told me you love me baby? You said you'd be coming back this way again baby Baby baby baby baby, oh baby I love you, I really do
