To me, Fearless is not the absense of fear. It’s not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death.
you’re an expert at sorry and keeping the lines blurry
So don’t you worry your pretty little mind because people throw rocks at things that shine. [Ours]
The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name; it’s beautiful, wonderful, don’t you ever change.
And I’m dying to know, is it killing you like it’s killing me? And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now.
I haven’t had that one great love, which is good. I don’t want that to be in the past, I want it to be in the future.
But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have ot believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily ever after. That’s why I write these songs. Because I think love is FEARLESS.
But I miss screamin’ and fightin’ and kissin’ in the rain and it’s 2 a.m. and I’m cursin’ your name. You’re so in love the you act insane, and that’s the way I loved you.
We should love, not fall in love, because everything that falls, gets broken.
It’s alright, just wait and see, your string of lights is still bright to me. Who you are is not where you’ve been. You’re still an innocent. It’s okay life is a tough crowd, 32 is still growing up now.

This is a new year. A new beginning. And things will change.
You can walk away and say “We don’t need this.” but something in your eyes says “We can beat this.
People haven’t always been there for me but music always has.
Everybody has that point in their life where you hit a crossroads and you’ve had a bunch of bad days and there’s different ways you can deal with it and the way I dealt with it was I just turned completely to music.
The only one who’s got enough of me to break my heart.
I’ve found time can heal most anything and you just might find who you’re supposed to be.
We were both young when I first saw you. I close my eyes and the flashback starts. I’m standin’ there on a balcony in summer air.

Just because as human beings, what we can’t have is what we reply in our head over and over again before we go to sleep.

Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did.
I’m a crumbled up piece of paper lying here, ’cause I remember it all too well
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
It can be heartbreaking when you find out that your fairytale image of the world doesn’t match the reality.

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

The cool thing about reading is that when you read a short story or you read something that takes your mind and expands where your thoughts can go, that’s powerful.

If someone has a really great boyfriend or career, I think, it’s cool that happens.
I can’t deal with someone wanting to take a relationship backward or needing space or cheating on you. It’s a conscious thing it’s a common-sense thing.

I know that a Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania is about the most random place for a country singer to come from, but I had an awesome childhood.
People haven’t always been there for me, but music always has.
I’ve always felt music is the only way to give an instantaneous moment the feel of slow motion. To romanticise it and glorify it and give it a soundtrack and a rhythm.
I have this really high priority on happiness and finding something to be happy about.
I’m always afraid of failing. I have to quiet that fear if I’m going to get up in the morning.

It’s so much easier to like people, and to let people in, to trust them until they prove that you should do otherwise. The alternative is being an iceberg.

I remember straightening my hair because I wanted to be like everybody else, and now the fact that anybody would emulate what I do? It’s just funny.
Anything you put your mind to and add your imagination into can make your life a lot better and a lot more fun.
What makes me happy is just curling up in with my mom in her bed and watching a marathon of ‘CSI’ and ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ episodes with pints of ice cream.
My mom and I have always been really close. She’s always been the friend that was always there. There were times when, in middle school and junior high, I didn’t have a lot of friends. But my mom was always my friend. Always.

Relationships are like traffic lights. And I just have this theory that I can only exist in a relationship if it’s a green light.
In a relationship each person should support the other they should lift each other up.
I think the worst part about a breakup sometimes, if one could choose a worst part, would possibly be if you get out of a relationship, and you don’t recognize yourself because you changed a lot about you.
