Relationship doesn’t remain, We resonate on different flames, I could cut you down again, If you were like all other men, If you were like all other men, I know that I could shut you down again

I wouldn’t say I’m a feminist, but I don’t like girls pretending to be stupid because it’s easier.

Some men do think I’m a psycho bunny-boiler.

It’s too much of a drinking culture, everything tastes better with a drink. Like, watch TV: glass of wine. Cooking dinner: glass of champagne. White wine vinegar hasn’t got white wine in it. Has it?

There is no counselor, teacher or parent who can ever help you find that why. That shit will always be on you!

It’s nice to be able to try and build the life you want for yourself.
