"The sight of you will prove to me I'm alive" "I'm thinking about you only" -Without him: feelings of depression "Feel blue/Like I always do" "I was sick and tired of everything" "There are moments when I think I'm going crazy" -With him: Ecstasy, feelings of hyper-confidence "Smiling, having fun/ Feeling like a Number One." -The thought of his approach, the knowledge that he is there is enough: "Somewhere in the crowd, there's you."

Other Notes

Likely her dependence on her boyfriend to aim her at her target led to her dependence on him for feelings of security and confidence. She can perform music without him, but cannot use her power without someone aiming her-- and for this, she mostly trusts him.
