La Dispute > Quotes

“We were strong. We stayed bright as lightning,
we sang loud as thunder, we moved ever forward.
We are not our failures. We are love.”
― La Dispute

“And if I do not miss a part of you, a part of me is dead
If I can’t love you as a lover, I will love you as a friend
And I will lay a bed before you
Keep you safe until the end”
― La Dispute

“I breathed your name into the air, I etched your name into me
I felt my anger swelling, I swam into its sea
I held your name inside my heart but it got buried in my fear
It tore the wiring of my brain, I did my best to keep it clear
So dear, no matter how we part I hold you sweetly in my head
And if I do not miss a part of you, a part of me is dead
If I can't love you as a lover, I will love you as a friend
And I will lay a bed before you, keep you safe until the end”
― La Dispute

“And I remember when I knew that you'd be leaving, how I barely kept up breathing
And I bet if I had to do it all again, I'd feel the same pain
I remember panicked circles in the terminal in tears
How I wept to god in fits, I've hated airports ever since”
