Clementine: Joel, I'm not a concept. Too many guys think I'm a concept or I complete them or I'm going to make them alive, but I'm just a fucked up girl who is looking for my own peace of mind. Don't assign me yours.
Joel: I remember that speech really well.
Clementine: I had you pegged, didn't I?
Joel: You had the whole human race pegged.
Clementine: Probably.
Joel: I still thought you were going to save me. Even after that.

How Does It Feel?
you always want what you can't have. and you end up with the things you never wanted. you settle for the obvious choice, but whoever said obvious was best?
you changed your hair, your eyes, your point of view, but he was never satisfied. he wanted someone who wasn't you. you played the part, reading from the wrong scene.
you cut yourself to prove that you could bleed. you touched his hand to your throbbing pulse. he lapped the tears up from your cheek, but all he tasted was salt and shame.
you tried things you thought you never would: sports, politics, drugs, and love. you hid your bruises from the world, but it's the bruises inside that won't ever heal.
he was shallow and only thought of himself. he wanted to change you, mold you into something unreal. you made yourself sick, drove yourself crazy. are you happy now? how's it feel to be a tool?
why didn't you listen to me when i said it was wrong? do you really think he cared? he wanted to see you suffering and afraid. he wanted to control you, break you, watch you bleed.
it was all just a game to him. he wanted to see how far you would go for his amusement. he never loved you, never cared. i can't help you anymore... you should have listened.
you always want what you can't have. but you ended up with him. you should have listened when i told you there are other guys out there.
