My favorite 'SYW' lines, in order of appearance:
"I don't say what they want, I don't do what they say... so I'm on their list... so I'm gone, I guess."
"I will not take you for granted... I wouldn't trade you for jade, or for diamonds... not for one minute... not for anything.
I need you to be there... Just remember when I am haunted, that I was just so scared."
"Faith is a hard thing to hold onto... something inside you says, 'I don't have to.'"
"You can sit outside his door and wait... you can dedicate your pain to him."
"Anyone at all, could see what was missing... could see you were dying... but no one was crying."
"Something in you, brought out something in me, that I've never been since."
"It always seems to heal the wounds, if I can get you to dance."
"You know all of our friends are gods, and they all tell us how to paint our face.
But there's only one brush we need... it's the one that never leaves a trace."
"I have come to know this world of changing faces... I can't fight the world, and I can't change it."
"And so you run toward what you know is wrong...."
"Never did I mean to imprison you... here in my garden... like I am imprisoned."
"Sometimes she was just an actress, but you'll never really know... A shadow moves across her face... you cannot see her soul."
"Nobody sees them... at least not together... she rarely goes out.
She spends every day... waiting for the day... when everybody finds out."
"Maybe we were together in another life... Maybe we are together in a parallel universe... Maybe our paths were not supposed to cross twice... Maybe your arms are not supposed to go around me."
"When I see you again, as I always do... it appears to me that destiny rules, and the spirts are ruthless with the paths they choose... it's not being together, it's just following the rules... no one's a fool."
"I let you slip away... there was nothing I could do... That was so long ago, still I often think of you."
"Now I finally found my way... now I know just what to do...
Once you said goodbye to me, and now I say goodbye to you."
"Goodbye, Baby... I hope your heart's not broken.
Don't forget me... yes, I was outspoken.
You were with me all the time...
I'll be with you... one day...."
