lyrics from my favorite ed sheeran songs bc reasons … sentence starters
“Oh, how we’ve grown.”
“I swear it will get easier.”
“Darling, just hold my hand.”
“Wait for me to come home.”
“Everything led back to you.”
“Loving can mend your soul.”
“Been this way since eighteen.”
“I know we’ll be alright this time.”
“Yeah, you look happier, you do.”
“Darling, you look perfect tonight.”
“I’m in love with the shape of you.”
“But I know I was happier with you.”
“I found my heart and broke it here.”
“It’s too cold outside for angels to fly.”
“And if you hurt me, that’s okay, baby.”
“I fall in love with you every single day.”
“Oh, I won’t be silent and I won’t let go.”
“The worst things in life come free to us.”
“'Cause we’re just under the upper hand.”
“We made these memories for ourselves.”
“I saw a shooting star and thought of you.”
“Maybe we found love right where we are.”
“We were love drunk, waiting on a miracle.”
“It is the only thing that makes us feel alive.”
“The club isn’t the best place to find a lover.”
“Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars.”
“Darling, just dive right in and follow my lead.”
“I’m holding nothing against it, except you and I.”
“Your love was handmade for somebody like me.”
“Only a month we’ve been apart. You look happier.”
“And we’ll burn so bright ‘til the darkness softly clears.”
“You should see the way the light dances off your hair.”
“Oh, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me.”
“Although my heart is falling too, I’m in love with your body.”
“I’m thinking ‘bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways.”
“Loving can hurt sometimes, but it’s the only thing that I know.”
“'Cause, honey, your soul could never grow old, it’s evergreen.”
“Ain’t nobody hurt you like I hurt you, but ain’t nobody love you like I do.”
“'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love, not knowing what it was.”
“But lately her face seems slowly sinking, wasting, crumbling like pastries.”

well, isn't that a treat?
i'll take your word for it.
you helped me as much as i helped you.
do i want to know where this is going?
what do you need?
guess i'm still stunned.
it's easier to hide.
a stake out's easier in the dark.
does it bother you?
it'll be just like old times.
you ran into him?
he was the meanest pie maker i ever met.
what was it doing in the middle of a crowded market?
where's the truth start and the rest begin?
that's how the whole job started.
i heard you and [name] arguing.
sounded like you were ready to kill each other.
i get why you're worried about [name].
we need both sides of the coin to have a shot at this.
the place has quite the atmosphere.
i heard it from a friend of a friend's cousin.
fair enough.
they seem like the types to enjoy a spooky story or two.
is fighting monsters about the hunt or about the victory?
you've got a funny idea of fun.
are we going to sell flowers?
guilt comes out in funny ways.
you hear something different?
you know [name]. probably sprained an ankle.
you want to know if i've tried it myself.
you keep things quiet.
he walked into my office.
there's a case. i've got a lead.
i'm not sure yet, but i'll get back to you.
you don't need magic for that.
i'm connected. whether it's well connected depends on who you ask.
i probably know someone.
that step's a formality.
someone's always willing to take a chance.
who's going to stop it?
you wonder why i'm busy.
someone's been visiting the fancy part of town.
i'm a sucker, that's all.
right, should have guessed.
you've done well for yourself since.
i wasn't trying to pry before about where you came from.
i just notice things.

for that, i'm sorry.
you'll give it your best shot.
i'll take your word for it.
you think they'll come through?
are you getting used to your new abilities?
you're getting the hang of those powers.
this should be interesting.
i watch everyone.
we don't know that.
we'll manage something. might even make it out alive.
that would make sense.
if you ask the question, maybe i can answer it.
are you mad at me for something i did in a dream?
you know him better than i do.
i'd hate for assassins to find me predictable.
don't flatter yourself too much.
i don't trust anyone on first meeting and i keep an eye on everything.
you're just so serious.
it wasn't personal.
does this mean you trust me less?
you don't have to.
find me at midnight and we'll test the theory.
it was your call to make.
i might have a weakness for seafood and candlelight.
we have our moments.
my work leads me to strange places.
you're not bad to work with.
thanks for noticing. not everyone does.
isn't this exciting?
you've got me there.
i've got the feeling i've missed something.
