This is my bittersweet symphony. I play it in my sleep. When my dreams turn into nightmares I find it hard to breathe. And yet i still can't help but think about these fairy tales that won't come true and these never happy endings. So I'll scream them from the shadows and pray that you hear me. Because this is my bittersweet symphony.

This song is about my love for things that hurt me. I know i shouldn't touch the fire because it will burn me but for some reason I still really want to touch that beautiful flame.

"Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind."
