Taylor Swift, All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version)

“Sometimes you just have to be brave. You have to be strong. Sometimes you just can’t give in to weak thoughts. You have to beat down those devils that get inside your head and try to make you panic. You struggle along, putting one foot a little bit ahead of the other.”

— James Marsden

This world will never be enough for me. Not when I know there's been a world where I couldn't live in, a time I couldn't exist in.

“You were about to leave me?” he asked with a scoff.

“Of course, I was. You’re you.”

“Oh, and what is that supposed to mean?”

“That I would be willing to use you as shark bait.”
