Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You?

jimijam,

"You're breaking my heart 

You'r tearing it apart

So FU."

Are the times when you don't try

When you don't even try...

Pink Floyd - Time

And you are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
