1. Ingrid Michaelson - Die Alone

I never thought I could love anyone but myself.
now I know I can't love anyone but you.
You make me think that maybe I won't die alone.
Maybe I won't die alone.

2. Ben Lee - Is This How Love Is Supposed to Feel?

You kissed me slow
It happened way too fast
I told myself
There's no way it would last

3. Adam Green - What Makes Him Act So Bad

What did we do to him to make him act so bad?
What did we say to him to make him say things like that?

4. Aqualung - Good Times Gonna Come

Didn't know
I was hurting you so
it's all right
You came from nowhere
with nothing and no one

5. Robbie Williams - Killing Me

I do believe that you should leave
Cause I've grown to hate you
Should I be weak and turn my cheek
Cause I'm scared to fall

6. The Smiths - I Know It's Over

Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
and as I climb into an empty bed
oh well, enough said
I know it's over still I cling
I don't know where else I can go, mother

7. Split Enz - I Hope I Never

I've been a fool - more than once, more than twice
I'm gonna move to a new town where the people are nice

8. Joan Jett & the Blackhearts - (I'm Gonna) Run Away
We were friends but now you're the enemy
Don't need this when there's a remedy
It's the end
Play your trick on someone new

9. Andrew Bird - Imitosis

In this nature show that rages every day
It was then he heard his intuition say
We were all basically alone

10. John Vanderslice - Oblivion

It's four p.m., bad shit is closing in
put the stereo on, boost the top end
can't write a song, strap the capo on
can't close the deal, play Defender until dawn

11. Simon & Garfunkel - I Am A Rock

I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.

12. Nerf Herder - High Five Anxiety

When you see me there, please don't try to hug me,
making me cry, don't know how to do it, did I say too much?
Don't want to play on your team, in your game

13. The Weakerthans - The Reasons

And you tell me to fuck off when I need somebody to.
How you make me laugh so hard.
How whole years refuse to stay where we told them to

14. Tegan & Sara - Northshore

Don't stare
Don't glare
Don't heal
Don't mend
Don't take, don't send
Don't love me, don't love me, don't love me

15. The Mamas & The Papas - I Saw Her Again
Every time I see that girl
you know I wanna lay down and die
But I really need that girl
Though I'm livin' a lie

16. The Mountain Goats - Alpha Double Negative: Going to Catalina

I hear your voice getting faster and louder
I see a stranger in your eyes
and I know what you're saying
and I know what you're saying it for
but I'm not listening
I'm not listening anymore

17. The Thermals - When I Was Afraid

Fear was mine
Fear was by my side
It kept me well
Hell, it kept me alive
I counted days as they faded away
I only felt sane when I was afraid

18. The Blam - Various Disgraces

It's killing me to see you in that chair
Reminds me of who's not there
You might be my enemy
If you persist in various disgraces
And if I made a list you would be last

19. The Beatles - We Can Work It Out

Life is very short, and there's no time,
For fussing and fighting, my friend

20. Gil Scott-Heron - I'll Take Care of You

I know you've been hurt by someone else
I can tell by the way you carry yourself

21. The Paper Raincoat - Don't Be Afraid

If you try to hide it, it only weighs you down.
Let the light surround it, exposing all you've found.

Oh. My. God. THIS IS AMAZING, THANK YOU SO, SO, SO MUCH. All of these songs are perfect (even though I've only actually heard maybe...three? It's going to be so much fun to listen to all of these!) and I'm so grateful. :) :) :)

The lyrics here all fit so perfectly to the story it's just...wow.

Thank you again!
