I can tell you're gonna cry
Is it over me?
If it is, save your tears
I'm not worth it, you'll see"

"I mean, there you are, a happy street rat, merrily going about your business taking a bite out of anyone you feel like, wrapped in a protective layer of selfishness. And then you meet this... Angel... and she shows you how beautiful things can actually be! That things like nobility and honor and decency and..." Sahar choked, "...and love ...are more than just words... And you look at yourself, and you realize that you ARE just a Rat! Like all the rats that you hated and despised on the streets of Beirut! And you know that you’re filthy, and disgusting and diseased... and you know that your parents would vomit, if they could see their daughter now! And you know that a disgusting RAT has no business laying next to a beautiful creature of god..."

Nudo con i brividi note
A volte non so esprimermi note
E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre note
E ti vorrei rubare un cielo di perle note
E pagherei per andar via note
Accetterei anche una bugia note
E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre note
E mi vengono i brividi, brividi, brividi note

"The President said himself that he hates unkind people who hurt others. I'm selfish and aggressive! Jealous and deceitful! A coward who fears other people! I always hurt people, and there's not a kind bone in my body! I have to conceal this part of me! Who could fall in love with such a disgusting person?!"

"What kind of guy would go out of his way to choose the fourth best girl around him? You have three other pretty, cute girls who are better than me in almost every way. You probably just feel bad for me. I'm right, aren't I? You're a kind person, so whenever you see someone as unfortunate as me, who always seems to fail no matter how hard she tries, you just have to extend a hand to help."
