39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2005:
Care only about what your close friends think of you, because those are the only people that really matter. Don’t be afraid to live according to what makes you happy, not to what makes other people happy... but not enough so that you’re being selfish. Know when it’s appropriate to follow your head and not your heart, and vice versa.
40. Quote a song that sums up your year:
Like a Saturday night I’ll be gone. Like a Saturday night I’ll be gone before you knew that I was there. So you wrote it down, I’m supposed to care, even though it’s never there. Sorry if I’m not prepared. Is it hard to see the things you substitute for me and all my thoughts of you? It’s eating me alive to leave you. Maybe it’s childish and maybe it’s wrong, but so is your blank stare in lieu of this song. Don’t wanna be wrong, but you’re leaving me in lieu of this song.
I’m breathing in your skin tonight. Quiet is my loudest cry. Wouldn’t wanna wake the eyes that make me melt inside. And if it’s healthier to leave you be, may your sickness come and set me free. Kill me while I still believe that you were meant for me.
I’m finding my own words, my own little stage, my own epic drama, my own scripted page. I’ll send you the rough draft, I’ll seal it with tears. Maybe you’ll read it, and I’ll reappear. From the start it was shaky and the characters rash. A nice setting for heartache where emotions come last. All I have deep inside to overcome this desire are friendly intentions and fairweather smiles.
