"People haven't always been there for me but music always has.” 

"When I was a little girl I used to read fairy tales. In fairy tales you meet Prince Charming and he's everything you ever wanted. In fairy tales the bad guy is very easy to spot. The bad guy is always wearing a black cape so you always know who he is. Then you grow up and you realize that Prince Charming is not as easy to find as you thought. You realize the bad guy is not wearing a black cape and he's not easy to spot; he's really funny, and he makes you laugh, and he has perfect hair.” 

"To me, Fearless is not the absense of fear. It's not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death.” 

"This is a new year. A new beginning. And things will change.” 

"I suffer from girlnextdooritis where the guy is friends with you and that's it.” 

"Your lucky enough to be different, never change” 

"Everybody has that point in their life where you hit a crossroads and you've had a bunch of bad days and there's different ways you can deal with it and the way I dealt with it was I just turned completely to music.” 

"I took a chance, I took a shot 

And you may think I’m bullet-proof, but I’m not. You took a swing, I took it hard. And down here from the ground I see who you are” 

"Everytime you smile, I smile 

And everytime you shine, I'll shine for you.” 

"To me, "FEARLESS” is not the absence of fear. It’s not being completely unafraid. To me, FEARLESS is having fears. FEARLESS is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, FEARLESS is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. FEARLESS is falling madly in love again, even though you’ve been hurt before. FEARLESS is walking into your freshmen year of high school at fifteen. FEARLESS is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again… even though every time you’ve tried before, you’ve lost. It’s FEARLESS to have faith that someday things will change. FEARLESS is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you can’t breathe without them. I think it’s FEARLESS to fall for your best friend, even though he’s in love with someone else. And when someone apologizes to you enough times for things they’ll never stop doing, I think it’s FEARLESS to stop believing them. It’s FEARLESS to say "you’re NOT sorry”, and walk away. I think loving someone despite what people think is FEARLESS. I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is FEARLESS. Letting go is FEARLESS. Then, moving on and being alright…That’sFEARLESS too. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have to believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily ever after. That’s why I write these songs. Because I think love is FEARLESS.” 

"I’m intimidated by the fear of being average.” 

"There's more to life than dating the boy on the football team.” 

"The lesson I've learned the most often in life is that you're always going to know more in the future than you know now.” 

"I'm not a princess 

This ain't a fairytale 

I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet 

Lead her up the stairwell 

This ain't Hollywood, 

This is a small town 

I was a dreamer before you went and let me down. 

Now its too late for you and your White Horse, 

To come around.” 

"No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.” 

"You can write a book on how to ruin someone’s perfect day.” 

"I said, "Leave," but all I really want is you/ To stand outside my window, throwing pebbles screaming, "I'm in love with you."/ Wait there in the pourin' rain, Come back for more./And don't you leave, 'cause I know all I need is on the other side of the door.” 

"All this time I was wasting, 

Hoping you would come around. 

I've been givin' out chances every time 

And all you do is let me down 

And it's taken me this long baby 

But I figured you out 

And you think it would be fine again 

But not this time around” 

"And I just wanna show you she don’t even know you 

She’s never gonna love you like I want to 

And you just see right through me 

But if you only knew me 

We could be a beautiful, miracle, unbelievable instead of just invisible.” 

"No matter what you say, I still can't believe 

That you would walk away. 

It don't make sense to me.” 

"Being FEARLESS isn't being 100% Not FEARFUL, it's being terrified but you jump anyway...” 

"It's never been about trying to look well-behaved. It's just how I am. I guess it's a weird thing to be 19 and not ever have been drunk, but for me, it just feels normal because I don't really know any other way. I don't know if I'd be comfortable getting wasted and not knowing what I've said. That doesn't mean when I'm older I won't have a glass of wine. I just don't think it's such a strange thing for me not to be wasted all the time.” 

"Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart? 

Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart,now? 

Why would you wanna make the very first scar? 

Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?” 

"Wow I can't belive I won, 

This is awesome, 

Don't trip and fall, 

I'm gonna get to thank the fans, 

This is so cool, 

Oh kany'e west is here, 

Cool haircut, 

What are ya doing there... 

Ouch... 

I guess I'm not gonna get to thank the fans” 

"Real life is a funny thing you know. 

In real life saying the right thing, at the right moment is beyond crucial. 

So crucial in fact, that most of us start to hesitate, for fear of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. 

But lately what I’ve began to fear more than that, is letting the moment pass with saying anything. 

I think you deserved to look back on your life without this chorus of resounding voices saying, I could of but it’s too late now. 

So there’s a time for silent, and there a time for waiting your turn. But if you know how you feel, and you so clearly know what you need to say. 

You’ll know it. 

I don’t think you should wait. 

I think you should speak now.” 

"I’ve learned that you can’t predict [love] or plan for it. For someone like me who is obsessed with organization and planning, I love the idea that love is the one exception to that. Love is the one wild card.” 

"In the middle of the night 

When I'm in this dream 

It's like 

A million little stars 

Spelling out your name 

You gotta come on, come on 

Say that we'll be together 

Come on, come on” 

"You remember when we were sitting there by the water you put your arm around me for the first time you made a rebel of a careless man’ s careful daughter you are the best thing that’s ever been mine” 

"I could wait patiently, but I really wish you would: 

Drop everything now, meet me in the pourin' rain, 

Kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain; 

Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile 

Hit me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down, 

Give me somethin' that'll haunt me when you're not around; 

Cause I see sparks fly whenever you . . . smile.”
