I took a chance, I took a shot And you may think I’m bullet-proof, but I’m not. You took a swing, I took it hard. And down here from the ground I see who you are

I don't know if you know who you are, until you lose who you are.

I was in a love that was wonderful until it was terrible, and both people got hurt from it.

I get so excited when a song I wrote that's very personal to me goes No. 1 and I look down and see people singing the words back to me.

I think that the idea of finding another person to share your life with is the most fascinating, beautiful quest you could ever be on in life. And yes, living your dreams is so important too, and a lot of times I’ve put that before everything else. But then you get to a place where the whole time you’re living these dreams, you look beside you to say to someone, “Hey, isn’t this so much fun?” And if there’s no one there to say it to, what’s the point?

the battle's in your hands now, but I would lay my armor down, if you said you'd rather love than fight.

Sometimes in love it just gets to the point where I have to give up. I have to give up trying and I have to give up believing because I know things won't change. To me, giving up isn't being weak. Giving up is being strong enough to let go.
