Quotes and Lyrics by Fiona Apple

I've been a bad, bad girl
I've been careless with a delicate man
And it's a sad, sad world
When a girl will break a boy just because she can

I got to fold cause these hands are too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love

How can I ask anyone to love me
When all I do is beg to be left alone?

And now I'm hard, too hard to know
I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no

I'm a tulip in a cup
I stand no chance of growing up
I've made my peace, I'm dead, I'm done
I watch you live to have my fun

And you maim when you're on offense
But you kill when you're on defense
And you've got them all convinced
That you're the means and the end

If you want to see me cry, just come to a photo shoot.

I want to be like the patron saint of reality.

Five years from now I'm probably going to look back on the things I'm doing and cringe.

Now I feel like whatever I do, no one can hurt me. I cannot be violated, I cannot be humiliated, I cannot be disregarded, I cannot be disrespected.

How can you go wrong with two people in love? If a good boy loves a good girl, good. If a good boy loves another good boy, good. And if a good girl loves the goodness in good boys and good girls, then all you have is more goodness, and goodness has nothing to do with sexual orientation.
