Perspective's Sentence Starters; GUTS by Olivia Rodrigo (Part III)

OBSESSED

If I told you how much I think about her...

You'd think I was in love.

If you knew how much I looked at her pictures...

I know her blood type.

I've seen every movie she's been in.

Oh god, she's beautiful

I know you loved her.

I know I'm butthurt.

I'm so obsessed with your ex.

I know she's been asleep on my side of your bed.

I'm starin' at her like I wanna get hurt.

I remember every detail you have evеr told me.

Be careful, baby

She's got those lips.

She's got those hips.

She's good with kids

She even speaks kindly about me.

I know you love me.

I know it's crazy.

Every time you call my name, I think you mistake me for her.

I got issues.

Is she friends with your friends?

Is she good in bed?

Do you think about her?

I'm fine, it doesn't matter.

Is she easy-going?

Oh god, she's makin' me so obsessed.

God, she makes me so upset.

SCARED OF MY GUITAR

Why's there a pit in my gut in the shape of you?

Say it's somethin' else.

Maybe I'm just overwhelmed.

Maybe I'm confused.

I barely sleep when you sleep next to me

I keep thinkin' I'll find a cure.

I've never felt so happy.

I'm so scared of my guitar.

It cuts right through to the heart.

It knows me too well.

I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you.

If I play it, then I'll think too hard.

Once you let the thought in, then it's already done.

I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love.

If I was brave and noble like you, I'd have the nerve to just stop stringin' you along.

I'm not half as decent as you.

I'd rather be tied to someone, even if they're wrong.

My friends know the truth.

I'm not as alright as I claim

They watch all the life fade away.

What if I never find anything better?

The doubt always creeps through my mind.

How could I ever trade somethin' that's good for what's right?

STRANGER

I had the strangest feeling of this weight off of my chest.

I hadn't felt that hopeful since the day that you left.

Everybody told me it would happen in time.

I always believed that it was some comforting lie.

I was half myself without you.

Now I feel so complete.

I can't even remember what made me lose all that sleep.

I criеd a million rivers for you, but that's over now.

You're just a stranger I know everything about.

I thought of all the things I did to try and win your love.

How did that happen?

I can't imagine ever doing all that stuff for just some guy

Like, you're just some guy.

I hope that you're happy, babe.

God knows that I am the girl I am because of you.

You know I'll always think of you.

I'll love you 'til the end of time

You are the best thing that I'll ever keep so far out of my life.

There's nothin' left for me to know.

I had to stay, you had to go.

It was mean, but it doesn't matter anymore.

There's nothin' left for me to sing.

I screamed, I cried, I did the whole thing.

I loved you mad, but it doesn't matter anymore.

If I'm not enough for you, you're not enough for me.

I fought a million battles, but you can't get to me now.

GIRL I'VE ALWAYS BEEN

Baby doll, you have changed.

That's the thing you always say.

I rained all over your parade.

I'm cruel beyond my years.

You don't know me anymore.

I have captors I call friends.

I got panic rooms inside my head.

I get down with crooked men.

I am the girl I've always been.

I got wrapped up in the game again.

I can't say I'm a perfect ten.

Don't say that I've been actin' different.

I'm nothin' if I'm not consistent.

You knew everything you'd be gettin'.

I told you right from the beginnin'.

I'm a candle in the wind.

“Oh God, I sound crazy.” ( page / anyone! )

@rubiesintherough sent olivia rodrigo : sour album … sentence starters

The air was tense. Belle's silence was heavy and prolonged, so it was hardly surprising that Page would think Belle didn't believe her, but that wasn't the case at all. After all, Belle could read minds, so it wasn't too much of a stretch that someone would be able to speak to the dead. No, the problem wasn't one of belief, it was one of Belle simply being able to process the fact.

After taking a minute or two to find her voice, she shook her head emphatically, her dark hair falling into her eyes. "N- no, it's not that. I mean, you don't sound crazy at all, I just- I-" Her green eyes were eerily wide in her pale face, trembling hands grasping the other's wrists in a desperate and yet uncharacteristic gesture.

"C- could you speak to Dean? My old boyfriend? And- and let him know I'm okay, and Alfie is okay?" She was almost in tears, her voice trembling so desperately it threatened to crack. "Please?"

When are all my excuses of learning my lessons gonna start to feel sad?

Perspective’s Sentence Starters; GUTS by Olivia Rodrigo (Part II)

The man looked over toward them, silent, almost intimidatingly so in that moment. An almost eerie aura spread out from him. His deep blue eyes almost looking hypnotically into their own. There was something off about him, the way he stares. It had been a long time since he was last happy to see anyone. Tonight, was no different either. Michael looks them up and down, remaining silent still as he turned to look away from them "It's always been sad. The entire time." He stated, blunt, and to the point.

There was no point in time where this person didn't seem sad and pathetic, to him. Not that that concerned him. He had to focus more on those who would hunt him down and bring him back to the Sanatorium he had just escaped from, considering for a moment, he glanced over, tilting his head slightly "Do you know where a woman named Jamie Lloyd is?" She had escaped him once, and now, he was free again to find her, once again...

“But you’re so unaffected, I really don’t get it.” ( peggy )

@rubiesintherough sent olivia rodrigo : sour album … sentence starters

To begin with, there's only silence. A period, perhaps a beat too long, where Jason doesn't speak. In fact, he doesn't respond at all; even his expression doesn't change, nor does he so much as twitch. It's almost as though he's some kind of machine, stuck in standby. And then, in a movement barely discernible, he moves his head to meet her gaze.

"The problem is," he begins, and his voice is flat, "is that, sometimes, when everything hurts, it's easier just to act like it doesn't. And then, eventually, it just becomes true. And now..." His voice falters for the first time. "Now I can't stop it."

“And ain't it funny? All the twisted games, all the questions you used to avoid?”

“Remember when you swore to God I was the only person who ever got you?”

A GUTS ASK MEME ISN'T A BAD IDEA, RIGHT? prompts from olivia rodrigo's sophomore album, guts (2023) — part 2/2. ↳ trigger warnings for mentions of grooming, abusive relationships (mental/emotion, not physical), eating disorders, body image, and negative self-esteem. some lines have been edited or omitted for clarity and comfort.

LOGICAL.

"Master manipulator, god, you're so good at what you do."

"Come for me like a savior, and I'd put myself through hell for you."

"Hear all the rumors lately that you always denied."

"I fell for you like water falls from the February sky, but now the current's stronger and I couldn't get out if I tried."

"You convinced me it was all in my mind."

"Now you got me thinking two plus two equals five, and I'm the love of your life."

"If rain don't pour and sun don't shine, then changin' you is possible."

"Love is never logical."

"You built a giant castle with walls so high, I couldn't see the way it all unraveled."

"All the things you did to me, ou lied, you lied, you lied."

"The sky is green, the grass is red, and you mean all those words you said. I'm sure that girl is really your friend."

"Lovin' you is lovin' every argument you held over my head."

"You brought up the girls you could have instead

"You said I was too young, I was too soft, can't take a joke, can't get you off."

"I know I'm half responsible and that makes me feel horrible."

"I know I could've stopped it all, God, why didn't I stop it all?"

GET HIM BACK!

"I met a guy in the summer and I left him in the spring."

"He argued with me about everything."

"He had an ego and a temper and a wandering eye."

"He said he's six-foot-two and I'm like, "Dude, nice try"."

"But he was so much fun and he had such weird friends, and he would take us out to parties and the night would never end. Another song, another club, another bar, another dance."

"When he said something wrong, he'd just fly me to France."

"So I miss him some nights when I'm feeling depressed, til I remember every time he made a pass on my friend."

"Do I love him? Do I hate him? I guess it's up and down."

"I write him all these letters, then I throw them in the trash, 'cause I miss the way he kisses and the way he made me laugh."

"I pour my little heart out, but as I'm hitting "send", I picture all the faces of my disappointed friends, because everyone knew all of the shit that he'd do."

"He said I was the only girl, but that just wasn't the truth."

"When I told him how he hurt me, he'd tell me I was trippin'."

"I am my father's daughter, so maybe I could fix him."

"I wanna get him back. I wanna make him really jealous, wanna make him feel bad."

"'Cause then again, I really miss him and it makes me real sad."

"I want sweet revenge, and I want him again."

"I wanna key his car."

"I wanna make him lunch."

"I wanna break his heart, then be the one to stitch it up."

" I wanna kiss his face... with an uppercut."

"I wanna meet his mom, just to tell her her son sucks."

LOVE IS EMBARRASSING.

"I told my friends you were the one after I'd known you like a month, and then you kissed some girl from high school."

"I stayed in bed for like a week when you said space was what you need."

"I waited by my phone like a goddamn fool."

"Now it don't mean a thing. God, love's fucking embarrassing."

"Just watch as I crucify myself for some weird second string loser who's not worth mentionin'."

"My God, love's embarrassing as hell."

"I consoled you while you cried over your ex-girlfriend's new guy."

"My God, how could I be so stupid? You found a new version of me, and I damn near started World War III."

"Jesus, what was I even doing?"

"I placed my bets and it's not worth anything."

THE GRUDGE.

"I have nightmares each week about that Friday in May."

"One phone call from you and my entire world was changed."

"Trust that you betrayed, confusion that still lingers."

"You took everything I loved and crushed it in between your fingers."

"I doubt you ever think about the damage that you did, but I hold on to every detail like my life depends on it."

"My undying love, now I hold it like a grudge."

"I hear your voice every time that I think I'm not enough."

"I try to be tough, but I wanna scream. How could anybody do the things you did so easily?

"I say I don't care, I say that I'm fine, but you know I can't let it go. I've tried."

"It takes strength to forgive, but I don't feel strong."

"The arguments that I have won against you in my head in the shower, in the car and in the mirror before bed."

"Yeah, I'm so tough when I'm alone and I make you feel so guilty."

"I fantasize about a time you're a little fucking sorry."

"I try to understand why you would do this all to me."

"You must be insecure, you must be so unhappy."

"I know in my heart hurt people hurt people."

"We both drew blood, but, man, those cuts were never equal."

"Do you think I deserved it all?"

"Your flower's filled with vitriol, you built me up to watch me fall

"You have everything and you still want more."

"I try to be tough, I try to be mean, but even after all this, you're still everything to me."

"I know you don't care, I guess that that's fine, but you know I can't let it go. I've tried, I've tried, I've tried for so long."

"It takes strength to forgive, but I'm not quite sure I'm there yet."

PRETTY ISN'T PRETTY.

"Bought a bunch of makeup tryna' cover up my face."

"I started to skip lunch, stopped eatin' cake on birthdays."

"Bought a new prescription to try and stay calm."

"There's always something missin'. There's always something in the mirror that I think looks wrong."

"When pretty isn't pretty enough, what do you do?"

"I could change up my body and change up my face, I could try every lipstick in every shade, but I'd always feel the same, 'cause pretty isn't pretty enough anyways."

"You can win the battle, but you'll never win the war."

"Fix the things you hated and you'd still feel so insecure."

"I try to ignore it, but it's everything I see. It's on the posters on the wall, it's in the shitty magazines. It's in my phone, it's in my head, it's in the boys I bring to bed. It's all around, it's all the time and I don't know why I even try."

"I bought all the clothes that they told me to buy."

"I chased some dumb ideal my whole fucking life."

"None of it matters and none of it ends, you just feel like shit over and over again."

TEENAGE DREAM.

"When am I gonna stop being wise beyond my years and just start being wise?"

"When am I gonna stop being a pretty young thing to guys?"

"When am I gonna stop being great for my age and just start being good?"

"When will it stop being cool to be quietly misunderstood?"

"I'll blow out the candles, happy birthday to me. Got your whole life ahead of you, you're only nineteen."

"I fear that they already got all the best parts of me, and I'm sorry that I couldn't always be your teenage dream."

"When does wide-eyed affection and all good intentions start to not be enough?"

"When will everyone have every reason to call all my bluffs?"

"When are all my excuses of learning my lessons gonna start to feel sad?"

"Will I spend all the rest of my years wishing I could go back?"

Perspective's Sentence Starters; SOUR by Olivia Rodrigo (Part I)

BRUTAL

I want it to be, like, messy.

I'm so insecure.

I think that I'll die before I drink.

I'm so caught up in the news.

I'm so tired that I might quit my job, start a new life.

They'd all be so disappointed.

Who am I if not exploited?

I'm so sick of seventeen.

Where's my fucking teenage dream?

If someone tells me one more time "Enjoy your youth," I'm gonna cry.

I don't stick up for myself.

I'm anxious, and nothing can help.

I wish I'd done this before.

I wish people liked me more.

All I did was try my best.

This the kinda thanks I get?

They say these are the golden years.

I wish I could disappear.

God, it's brutal out here.

I feel like no one wants me.

I hate the way I'm perceived.

I'm a nervous wreck.

I love people I don't like.

I hate every song I write.

I'm not cool.

I'm not smart.

I can't even parallel park.

Just havin' a really good time.

Got a broken ego?

God, I don't even know where to start.

TRAITOR

I played dumb, but I always knew.

I always knew that you talked to her, maybe did even worse.

I kept quiet so I could keep you.

Ain't it funny how you ran to her the second that we called it quits?

Ain't it funny how you said you were friends?

It sure as hell don't look like it

You betrayed me.

I know that you'll never feel sorry.

You talked to her when we were together.

Loved you at your worst, but that didn't matter.

It took you two weeks to go off and date her.

Guess you didn't cheat, but you're still a traitor.

I know if you were true, there's no damn way that you could fall in love with somebody that quickly.

Ain't it funny?

Remember I brought her up and you told me I was paranoid?

I wish that you had thought this through before I went and fell in love with you.

Don't you dare forget about the way you betrayed me.

You gave me your word, but that didn't matter

Yeah, you're still a traitor.

DRIVERS LICENSE

I got my driver's license last week.

Just like we always talked about.

Today, I drove through the suburbs crying 'cause you weren't around

You're probably with that blonde girl who always made me doubt.

She's so much older than me.

She's everything I'm insecure about.

How could I ever love someone else?

I know we weren't perfect, but I've never felt this way for no one.

I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone.

Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me.

'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street.

All my friends are tired of hearing how much I miss you.

I kinda feel sorry for them.

They'll never know you the way that I do.

I still see your face.

Can't drive past the places we used to go to.

I still fuckin' love you, babe.

I still hear your voice in the traffic.

God, I'm so blue.

1 STEP FORWARD, 3 STEPS BACK

All I did was speak normally

Somehow, I still struck a nerve.

You got me fucked up in the head.

Never doubted myself so much.

Am I pretty?

Am I fun?

I hate that I give you power over that kinda stuff

It's always one step forward and three steps back

I'm the love of your life until I make you mad.

Do you love me, want me, hate me?

I don't understand.

Maybe in some masochistic way, I kind of find it all exciting.

Which lover will I get today?

Will you walk me to the door or send me home crying?

It's back and forth.

Did I say something wrong?

Maybe this is all your fault instead.

I'd leave you, but the rollercoaster's all I've ever had.

DEJA VU

I bet she's braggin' to all her friends, sayin' you're so unique.

So when you gonna tell her that we did that, too?

She thinks it's special, but it's all reused.

That was our place, I found it first.

I made the jokes you tell to her when she's with you.

Do you get déjà vu when she’s with you?

Do you get déjà vu?

Do you call her, almost say my name?

Let's be honest, we kinda do sound the same.

I hate to think that I was just your type.

Now I bet you even tell her how you love her in between the chorus and the verse.

That was the show we talked about.

Played you the songs she's singing now when she's with you.

Don't act like we didn't do that shit, too.

You're tradin' jackets like we used to do

Everything is all reused.

Play her piano, but she doesn't know that I was the one who taught you.

A different girl now, but there's nothing new.

I know you get déjà vu

GOOD 4 U

Well, good for you, I guess you moved on really easily.

You found a new girl and it only took a couple weeks.

Remember when you said that you wanted to give me the world?

I guess that you've been workin' on yourself.

I guess that therapist I found for you, she really helped.

Now you can be a better man for your brand-new girl.

You look happy and healthy.

Not me, if you ever cared to ask

You're doin' great out there without me, baby.

God, I wish that I could do that.

I've lost my mind.

I've spent the night cryin' on the floor of my bathroom.

You're so unaffected, I really don't get it.

I guess you're gettin' everything you want.

You bought a new car and your career's really takin' off.

It's like we never even happened.

Baby, what the fuck is up with that?

It's like you never even met me.

Remember when you swore to god I was the only person who ever got you?

Well, screw that, and screw you

You will never have to hurt the way you know that I do.

Maybe I'm too emotional.

Your apathy's like a wound in salt.

Maybe you never cared at all.

“I kind of feel sorry for them.” ( peggy / anyone! )

@rubiesintherough sent olivia rodrigo : sour album … sentence starters

"For who? For the living?" Her tone is soft, contemplative, and her expression grows thoughtful as she truly absorbs her friend's words. She sits, back against the wall, knees curled up to her chests and arms around her knees, chin resting down. There are times when she gets sad, sad that she'll never die, that she can change appearance as much as she wants but she can never truly move on from what happened to her. Sad that her death took her love away from her in more ways than one.

Finally, blue eyes finally tear themselves away from the spot in the distance that represents Sophie's shattered wishes. She focuses her gaze on her friend, a soft frown creeping between her brows and betraying her puzzlement. "Really? Why?"

[thornstocutyouwith]

He argued with me about everything.

Perspective’s Sentence Starters; GUTS by Olivia Rodrigo (Part II)

Noah rolled his eyes, exhausted by the others talking about him as if he weren't there "Well maybe if you didn't fucking say stupid ignorant shit all the time- you ever think about that? No. Of course not." He makes a slight face, almost in disgust "Any time you talk I think everyone around you gets even more fucking moronic. But they'll clap, they'll cheer. And you'll all be stupider in the end for it. Do you ever get tired of being fucking idiots?" He snapped back, clearly having heard this one too many times from the other, and had bitten his tongue for too long trying to 'let it be' but people like them never let it be, and could only be taught lessons in blood "And stop talking to people about me like I'm not right fucking here..." They were doing it intentionally to piss him off, obviously.
