Fear doesn't shut you down, it wakes you up.
-Four/Tobias Eaton

Relief exists, I found it when I was cut.
-Plumb

You bleed just to know you're alive...
-The Goo Goo Dolls

Maybe because one wary, battered soul recognized another.

I will dance with Cinderella while she is here in my arms cause I know something the prince never knew. I don't want to miss even one song cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight, and she'll be gone...
-Cinderella, Steven Curtis Chapman

As you showed me your scars, I only held you closer.
-Lacey Sturm (Broken Pieces, Apocalyptica)

I've got a couple of dents in my fender, Got a couple rips in my jeans. I try to fit the pieces together, but perfection is my enemy... But I'm free to be me!
-Francesca Battestelli, Free to Be Me

Be my bad boy,
be my man.
be my weekend lover,
but don't be my friend.
you can be my bad boy but understand that I don't need you in my life again.
-Cascada, Bad Boy

And who do you think you are? Running 'round leaving scars, collecting your jar of hearts, And tearing love apart... Your gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul.
-Jar of Hearts, Christina Perri

I believe, what if I believe you now? Could it ever change this? Forgive me, don't leave me, and please come back to life. Come back to my life.
