It's a metaphor, Hazel Grace. See Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort in this clip from The Fault in Our Stars, in theaters June 6. Hazel (Shailene Woodley) and Gus (Ansel Elgort) are two extraordinary teenagers who share an acerbic wit, a disdain for the conventional, and a love that sweeps them -- and us -- on an unforgettable journey. Their relationship is all the more miraculous, given that they met and fell in love at a cancer support group. THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, based upon the number-one bestselling novel by John Green, explores the funny, thrilling and tragic business of being alive and in love.

Top In Flames, Metaphor

Stole my pure intentions
You are the sickness in between
Let me in, I'll bury the pain
You taught me to be sad as you
You almost made me take it all
Let me in, I'll bury the pain
Bend me and you shake me
Make me then you break me
Let me in, I'll bury the pain
You made me feel like a sinner
You fear you'll die alone
Let me in, I'll bury the pain
The sickness that you are
A plague that made me starve
Do you think you can show me
How I've come this far?
The sickness that you are
A plague that made me starve
Do you think you can show me
How I've come this far?
I feel it's taking over
Everything falls dark
Break me open, the desperate cry
The sickness that you are
A plague that made me starve
Do you think you can show me
How I've come this far?
The sickness that you are
A plague that made me starve
Do you think you can show me

Should I call her...Juliet!
Yes, dear
Helena!
Yes, dear!
And Cassandra, and Cleopatra, and Beatrice
And also Guenevere
What dear?
I think she's there.

Speak a little louder!
I love you!
Ah ah ah ah aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
If I were in the desert deep in sand,
And the sun was burning like a hot pomegranate:
Walking through a nightmare in the heat of a summer day,
Until my mind was parch-ed!
Then you are water...
Cool, clear water...
A refreshing glass of water!
What dear?
Water!
Ah ah ah aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Love! You are love!
Better far than a metaphor
Can ever, ever be.
Love! You are love!
My mystery of love!
If the world was like an iceberg,
And everything was frozen,
And tears turned into icicles in the eye!
And snow came pouring
And sleet and ice
Came stabbing like a knife!
Then you are heat!
A fire alive with heat!
A flame that thaws the iceberg with its heat!
Repeat!
You are heat!
Ah ah ah ah aaaaaaaaaaa!
Love! (I am love!)
You are love! (I am love!)
Better far than a metaphor
Can ever, ever be.

You are love! (I am love!)
My mystery (His mystery)
Of love!
You are Polaris,
The one trustworthy star.
You are! (I am!)

You are September,
A special mystery
To me! (To he!)
To me! (To he!)
You are sunlight! Moonlight!
Mountains! Valleys!
The microscopic inside of a leaf!
My joy! (Yes, I am his joy!)
My grief! (Yes, I am his grief!)
My star! (Yes, I am his star!)
My leaf! (Yes, I am his leaf!)
Oh. Love! (I am love!)
You are love! (I am love!)
