He says:

Will someone please call a surgeon
who can crack my ribs
and repair this broken heart
that you're deserting for better company?
i can't accept that it's over:
i will block the door l
ike a goalie tending the net in the third quarter of a tied-game rivalry

so just say how to make it right and i swear i'll do my best to comply

tell me i am right to think that there could be nothing better than making you my bride and slowly growing old together.


She says:

I feel I must interject here.
You're getting carried away feeling sorry for yourself with these revisions
and gaps in history.
So let me help you remember.
I've made charts and graphs that should finally make it clear.
I've prepared a lecture on why i have to leave.

so please back away and let me go

He says:

I can't my darling i love you so...
tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better than making you my bride and slowly growing old together.

She says:

Don't you feed me lies about some idealistic future. Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures.

He says:

I admit that i have made mistakes and i swear i'll never wrong you again

She says:

You've got a lure i can't deny, but you've had your chance so say goodbye.
