Juliana Hatfield Quotes (1967-)

“

This can't be real
I've never seen so much
This must be a joke.

I don't know how to feel
I haven't earned it yet
Everything fades so fast.

”

“A lot of so-called Christian souls are not fine. People need to look inside themselves and look at the lives they’re leading and fix themselves before they try to fix other people.”

“

Impossible to love
Is all that I know how to be
But in my heart
I keep repeating
You didn't mean to hate me

I still love my enemy.

”

“What a life, you wear it like propriety
What a life, you do it like you really mean it
What a life, I watch it like a scary movie
What a life, what a life, what a life.”

“Love is everywhere I'm not allowed.
I feel he's been to hell, but he's near to heaven now.
I need to see it. I can't not have it, so inscrutable, so beautiful.”

“

There's a hole in the sky
I stood and stared
I feel it inside what isn't there
The children are lost we can't find them anywhere

Hole in the sky
I'm crying still crying for you.

”

“How do you get up in the morning?
Another wasted life it's so boring
The system never failed you
You failed yourself and all of your friends
Now your heart is failing too
A total system failure they pronounce you”

“

Beauty can be sad. You're proof of that.
When the damage is done, you're damaged goods.
That's not to say it's not okay.
I wouldn't have it any other way.

A heart, a heart that hurts, is a heart, a heart that works.

”

“Can you take it when I break it give it back to the posers who fake it
Suck the milk out of the lilacs we were so innocent you can't go back
What the fuck it's a miracle I’m even here
You're over me but I’m alive so what do i care
Standing in the cement”

“

I showed you how to touch a star
I helped you forget who you are
Baby, you can drive my car
Over to the right side of the tracks

You pushed your greatest chance away
But still I really want to say

I forgive you.

”

“

I'm a goddess in your eyes, and I will never die.
I was born of people's needs, and what they don't wanna believe.
But I am a liar, that's the truth, go home and think it through.
That's the harm in mystery, all you know is what you see.

I got no idols.

”

“

I never needed this
I never needed anyone
I meant every word that I said
It's true
I wasn't talking to you

And I'm sorry that I must go so soon
Please forgive me for finding something real and pure and true

Somebody is waiting for me

”

“I've been sleeping through my life
Now I'm waking up
And I want to stand in the sunshine
I have never been ecstatic
Had a flower but it never bloomed
In the darkness of my wasted youth
It was hiding in the shadows
Learning to become invisible
Uncover me”

“I never really cared about achieving commercial success. As soon as I was signed to a record company, I felt like I made it because I was able to quit my day job. To me, success was just not having to have a boss and not having a day job. So I’ve been living my own version of success since the early ’90s when I first got signed and I haven’t had a job since then. I’m pretty happy about that. When I did have a little bit of commercial success, it really didn’t suit my temperament at all. I’m a terrible public person. I’m happier where I am now.”
