Would you ever throw all your dreams, all your hope, all of your life out the window for one person?
Would you ever take that chance and give all of yourself to one person?
Would you ever trust another human being with your heart and soul when you know how some act?
Would you ever take the risk of being in love?

I work in the kitchen
At an old folk's home
I do my best but i too am getting on
I do the dishes but lately i been dropping plates
See as i get older my hands are starting to shake
So mr larkin
See i got to hold this job
Did you misspeak when you told me
She was all but gone
Mr larkin
Dock me my one week's pay
But don't ask me to leave
I can't afford that today
Ten years ago my wife took sick
So i brought her here
My job i quit
I started working for the home
So i could be by her everyday
We couldn't afford the cost in any other way
So
So mr larkin see i
I know she know who i am
Every now and then she'll squeeze my hand
It's what i live for it's why she don't die
So mr larkin won't you won't you give me this try
I walk to work on route 27
I see the same cars pass everyday
And through all this new england weather
You know never once have i been late
So mr larkin see i
I know she know who i am
Every now and then she'll squeeze my hand
It's what i live for it's why she don't die
So mr larkin won't you won't you give me this try
I see the argument you're makin'
And i understand you got to do your job
And believe me i know she's turning angel
But you see this woman is all I got
So mr larkin see i
I know she know who i am
Every now and then she'll squeeze my hand
It's what i live for it's why she don't die
So mr larkin won't you won't you give me this try
Won't you give me this try
Won't you give me this try
~ Mr. Larkin, State Radio

Shiver.
That explains my life. The way my muscles work now..
I was in a terrible car accident that left severe burns on my shoulders.
I had to get skin grafts. I went through months of painful physical therapy.
Now, my muscles jerk and shudder violently in my shoulders.
On good days, they're only moving in the morning.
On bad days, the rare ones, they won't stop moving. Those are the days when I stay home from school.
I'm ashamed by these wild movements.
I feel guilty. I feel unreal.
I feel like those shivers, those shudders, are a monster, waiting for a chance to be in control.

How can you act like that?
After all that we've been through?
How can you say you don't care?
How can you say you hate me when you said you'd love me forever?
How can you say you don't need me when I was your everything?
Why did it come to this?
Why did our love be destroyed?
We should've been stronger than this.
We should've survived.
We should've never given up..
Now, I'm in love with someone else.
Don't try to take me back.
You won't win.
You won't succeed.
He's the one for me.
And you know it.
So, don't try to tear us apart.
We have dreams, hopes and promises.
We had nothing to start from, our relationship grew.
You say ours did too?
Liar.
You've always lied.
Yes, we will survive.
Yes, we will be strong.
Yes, we will never give up.
