To that point, here's a collection of Olivia's most heartwrenching lyrics:
1.
2. "Do you think about her? No, I'm fine, it doesn't matter, tell me"
3. "Well, I have captors I call friends / I got panic rooms inside my head / And I get down with crooked men"
4.
5. "But I'll lay in your arms and pretend that it's love / Yeah, I'll lay in your arms and pretend it's enough"
6. "He said I was the only girl, but that just wasn't the truth"
7.
8. "And I stayed in bed for like a week / When you said space was what you need / Waited by my phone like a goddamn fool"
9. "So I miss him some nights when I'm feelin' depressed / 'Til I remember every time he made a pass at my friend"
10. "How's the castle built off people you pretend to care about?"
11. "Yes, I know that he's my ex, but can't two people reconnect?"
12. "I don't get angry when I'm pissed / I'm the eternal optimist / I scream inside to deal with it"
13. "I've made some real big mistakes / But you make the worst one look fine"
14.
15. "I used to think I was smart / But you made me look so naive / The way you sold me for parts / As you sunk your teeth into me, oh"

17.
18. "Just watch as I crucify myself"
19. "They say these are the golden years / But I wish I could disappear"

22. "If someone tells me one more time / 'Enjoy your youth,' I'm gonna cry"
23.
24. "I played dumb, but I always knew / That you talked to her, maybe did even worse / I kept quiet so I could keep you"
25. "You betrayed me / And I know that you'll never feel sorry"
26. "God, I wish that you had thought this through / Before I went and fell in love with you"
27. "Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me"
28. "'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street"
29. "I still see your face in the white cars, front yards / Can't drive past the places we used to go to"
30.
31. "All I did was speak normally / Somehow, I still struck a nerve"
32. "Do you love me, want me, hate me? / Boy, I don't understand"
33.
34. "I'd leave you, but the rollercoaster's all I've ever had"
35. "Tried so hard to be everything that you liked / Just for you to say you're not the compliment type"
36.
37. "So when you gonna tell her that we did that, too? / She thinks it's special, but it’s all reused"
38. "I've lost my mind, I've spent the night / Cryin' on the floor of my bathroom"
39.
40. "Maybe I'm too emotional / But your apathy's like a wound in salt"
41. "I wore makeup when we dated / 'Cause I thought you'd like me more"
42.
43. "You found someone more exciting, the next second, you were gone / And you left me there cryin', wonderin' what I did wrong"
44. "You couldn't have cared less / About someone who loved you more"
45.
46. "I'd say you broke my heart / But you broke much more than that"
47. "Don't you think I loved you too much / To be used and discarded?"

50. "All I see is what I should be"
51.
52. "I let you treat me like that / I was your willing accomplice, honey"
53. "All the things I did / Just so I could call you mine"
54.
55. "Don't know if I'll see you again someday / But if you're out there, I hope that you're okay"
56. "We don't talk much, but I just gotta say / I miss you, and I hope that you're okay"
57.
58. "All my life, I've seen myself through your eyes / Wonderin' if I am good enough for your time"
59. "All I want is love that lasts / Is all I want too much to ask?"
60.
