Quotes and Lyrics by Chantal Kreviazuk

If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've been so alone
If you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done.

It's the way it works: Love plus time minus distance equals hate.

Finding someone you love and who loves you back is a wonderful, wonderful feeling. But finding a true soul mate is an even better feeling. A soul mate is someone who understands you like no other, loves you like no other, will be there for you forever, no matter what. They say that nothing lasts forever, but I am a firm believer in the fact that for some, love lives on even after we're gone.

Our fingerprints don't fade from the lifes of those we touch.

At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. So this thing where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, it's usually a load of bull. So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we've chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. No matter how much we hurt them.

Couples who are truly right for each other wade through the same crap as everybody else, but the big difference is they don't let it take them down. One of those two people will stand up and fight for that relationship every time. If it's right, and they're real lucky, one of them will say something.

A man once asked his father, 'Father, how will I ever find the right woman?'
His father replied 'Forget finding the right woman, focus on being the right man.'

It is not the nature of love to force a relationship, but it is the nature of love to open the way.

You can be in a relationship for two years and feel nothing. You could be in a relationship for two weeks and feel everything. Time is not a measure of love.

When a woman quits on a man, she either got enough of him or she didn't get enough from him.

Love's involved with spending time together, but spending time apart, can lead to loving even more.

Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they need to run free, until they find someone just as wild to run with.

Don't be someone that searches, finds, and then runs away.

It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living
If somebody is loving you

Well, maybe this isn't a breakup. Maybe this is two friends getting back together.

When you date someone, it's like you're taking one long course in who that person is and then, when you break up, all that stuff becomes useless. It's the emotional equivalent of an English degree...

In matters of the heart there is the lover and the beloved. The lover lives with passion, full commitment and romanticism. The beloved is limited to being idolized.

Love does not claim possession, but gives freedom.

The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost.

A happy marriage doesn't mean you have a perfect spouse or a perfect marriage. It simply means you've chosen to look beyond the imperfections in both.

The only real security is not in owning or possessing, not in demanding or expecting, not in hoping, even. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what it was, nor forward to what it might be, but living in the present and accepting it as it is now.

I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.

The first time you fall in love, it changes you forever and no matter how hard you try, that feeling just never goes away.

You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

You can never be wise and be in love at the same time.

He got under my skin and no matter what I do, I can't shake him.

She was a smart girl, until she fell in love.

It's one thing to fall in love. It's another to feel someone else fall in love with you, and to feel a responsibility toward that love.

When I find the right girl, I'll know. Without a doubt, it'll just - bam - hit me. Like lightning.

You know how sometimes you'll meet a girl and there'll be that one bewitching little detail that'll make you fall in love with her instantly? You know, a little freckle on the nose, the lilt of her laugh, the way she pronounces a certain word or phrase...

Darling you can look, but please don't get lost. Cause his eyes will make you pay a price and you don't know the cost.

It's all right to love someone who doesn't love you back, as long as they're worth you loving them. As long as they deserve it.

There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.

Life is not measured by the breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Kids, you can't talk yourself into falling in love. It doesn't take days of deliberation. When it's real, you know pretty quickly and with absolute certainty.
I had forgotten that, but I was about to be reminded...

Meeting you was like listening to a song for the first time and knowing it would be my favorite.

Have you never met a woman who inspires you to love? Until your every sense is filled with her? You inhale her. You taste her. You see your unborn children in her eyes and know that your heart has at last found a home.

I was happy before I met him. But I'm alive now, and those are not the same thing.

He remembered the first time he’d kissed her, in the greenhouse, how he’d finally gotten it, finally understood the way someone’s mouth against yours could undo you, leave you spinning and breathless. That all the expertise in the world, any techniques you knew or had learned, went out the window when it was the right person you were kissing.

Maybe part of falling in love with someone else is also falling in love with yourself.

When someone is in love, they looks through rose-tinted glasses. Everything's wonderful. They transform into a soft teddy bear that's smiling all the time.

We don't need to worry
'Cause when we fall, we know how to land
Don't need to talk the talk, just walk the walk tonight
'Cause we don't need permission to dance

Don't you think we got another season
That come after spring?
I wanna be your summer
I wanna be your wave
Treat me like a comma
I'll take you to a new phrase

And I know there's no makin' this right, this right
And I know there's no changing your mind, your mind
But we both found each other tonight, tonight
So if love is nothing more than just a waste of your time

Waste it on me, waste it on me

She was sayin', "Come get me"
So I got up and followed her to the floor
She said, "Baby, let's go"
When I told her, I said
Yeah, yeah

'Cause I, I, I'm in the stars tonight
So watch me bring the fire and set the night alight
Shinin' through the city with a little funk and soul
So I'ma light it up like dynamite

This is gettin' heavy, can you hear the bass boom? I'm ready
Life is sweet as honey, yeah, this beat cha-ching like money

Deep down, you know it's best for yourself, but you
Hate the thought of her bein' with someone else
But you know that it's over, we knew it was through
Let it burn, let it burn, gotta let it burn

It's the thought of being young
When your heart's just like a drum
Beating louder with no way to guard it
When it all seems like it's wrong
Just sing along to Elton John
And to that feeling, we're just getting started

Side step, right, left to my beat
High like the moon, rock with me, baby
Know that I got that heat
Let me show you 'cause talk is cheap
