50. The Lucky One

Run your hands through your hair
Absent-mindedly making me want you”
46. New Romantics
“We cry tears of mascara in the bathroom
Honey, life is just a classroom”
45. Ready For It
“Every love I’ve known in comparison is a failure
I forget their names now
I’m so very tame now
Never be the same now”
44. You Are In Love

He keeps his word”
43. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together

With some indie record that’s much cooler than mine”
42. Sparks Fly
“Give me something that’ll haunt me when you’re not around”
41. The Way I Loved You
“It’s 2 AM and I’m cursing your name
You’re so in love that you act insane
And that’s the way I loved you”
40. Back to December
“And then the cold came
The dark days when fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was 'Goodbye'"

And your eyes looked like coming home”

People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard”
36. Come In With The Rain
“I’ve got you down, I know you by heart
And you don’t even know where I start”
35. I Know Places
“Cause they got the cages, they got the boxes
And guns
They are the hunters, we are the foxes
And we run”
34. Come Back, Be Here
“Taxi cabs and busy streets
That never bring you back to me”
33. Tell Me Why
“Why do you have to put down my dreams
So you’re the only thing on my mind?”

And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean”

And whispers turned to talking
And talking turned to screams”

That you never loved me, or her, or anyone, or anything”
29. Enchanted
“Please don’t be in love with someone else
Please don’t have somebody waiting on you”

“Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes
Tell myself it’s time now, gotta let go
But moving on from him is impossible
When I still see it all in my head
In burning red”
27. How You Get The Girl
“Remind her how it used to be
With pictures in frames of kisses on cheeks”

Somewhere back inside a room wearing a gown shaped like a pastry”

The village is aglow
Kaleidoscope of loud
Heartbeats under coats”

In ripped up jeans got to rule the world”

As long as they don’t touch
Out of focus, eye to eye
Until the gravity’s too much”

You give me everything and nothing”

“No amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity”

10. Gorgeous

By not being mine”

So casually cruel in the name of being honest
I’m a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
‘Cause I remember it all, all, all too well”
