Born to Die — Lana Del Rey

Don’t make me sad, don’t make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough
I don’t know why
Keep making me laugh,
Let’s go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime

It’s not poetry, but it’ll do.

What Goes Around…/…Comes Back Around | Justin Timberlake

This is such a fucking fantastic song in every way a song can be fantastic. It’s not just great pop music— it’s just all-around great music, and it deserves to be treated as such.

Should’ve known better when you came around
That you were gonna make me cry

“I Don’t Believe You,” The Magnetic Fields

I had a dream and you were in it
The blue of your eyes was infinite
You seemed to be
In love with me
Which isn’t very realistic.

“Missing You” by John Waite

Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
And I’m still standing here
And you’re miles away
And I’m wonderin’ why you left
And there’s a storm that’s raging
Through my frozen heart tonight

I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinkin’ about you
And it’s almost driving me wild
And there’s a heart that’s breaking
Down this long distance line tonight

Someone Like You — Adele

Don’t forget me, I beg
“I’ll remember”, you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead.
