"We all wanna be great men and there's nothing romantic about it. I just want to know that I did all I could with what I was given."
The Wonder Years - I Just Want To Sell Out My Funeral
The entire last verse of that song has stuck with me for the last three years. It's just beautiful.

"Fuck an apology I'm not sorry for anything, I've been holding back this apathy for far too long" by The Story So Far. Really hit home the first time I heard it.

That whole song brings me to tears, dammit, but that line is great.

Can't really chose one, but...
"Jesus Christ. I'm 26. All the people I graduated with all have kids, all have wives, all have people who care if they come home at night."
-
Passing Through a Screen Door - The Wonder Years
"I'll blame the way that I was brought up or the flaws that I was born with or the mistakes that I've made; they're all just fucking excuses. So bury me in the memories of my friends and family. I just need to know that they were proud of me."
-
I Just Want to Sell Out My Funeral - The Wonder Years
"I walk away from anyone that cares about me, but I swear my skin's not as rough as I make it out to be. The saddest part is I've been distant since I was sixteen, it keeps me up in bed. I'm stuck here with all the choices I've made and the chances I was too afraid to take" - Sixteen - Real Friends

And the salt in my wounds isn't burning anymore than it used to
It's not that I don't feel the pain, it's just I'm not afraid of hurting anymore
And the blood in these veins isn't pumping any less than it ever has
And that's the hope I have, the only thing I know that's keeping me alive

"Your glare is the faintest, no brightness to show. I made the best of what I thought was impossible. You were the spade I use to dig this hole, blistered my skin to the bone."

Since the ending of I Just Want To Sell Out My Funeral's already been mentioned, I'm gonna go with Until You're Big Enough by Mayday Parade.
"Here's to new beginnings and starting over. When you hope all's forgiven, it's best not to ask for a while."
and
"You speak like a man who believes he's got no destiny; he's content. A trouble so great that you shouldn't have gone through. With a clarity I've never seen. I will build you up till you're big enough to pick me up."

Why do evil men get away with it?
Can't you see that I'm in a world of shit
Turn your back on hope and go back inside
Stop my bleeding heart and let the engine die

Either "Bottom of the 9th, can't find my socks" from Two Good Things by Modern Baseball or "With tears in my eyes I begged you to stay, you said hey man, I love you but no fucking way.
Im sure that we could find something for you to do on stage, maybe shake a tambourine or when I sing, you sing harmonies" from Twin Sized Mattress by The Front Bottoms.

Some good ones in here but I'll add some knuckle puck:
"Because of you I've been reduced from high rise windows to stepping stones"
"I'm an unlocked door and you're a fucking thief"

My favorite lyric was already mentioned. So I'll just say one that I just like.
"Twice the effort, half the outcome" - Wall to Wall (depreciation) by Knuckle Puck, cool lyric that I resonate to.

"Can’t ever sever the ties I made
The knots are strong
The framework’s laid"
The Story So Far- Framework. I pretty much like everything off WYDS lol.
Also the chorus from Going Away To College
"And I'm so unprepared so here's your valentine. Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody This world's an ugly place, but you're so beautiful to me"

I remember I kept thinking that I know you never would and now I know I want to kill you like only a best friend could.

I can't pick one favorite, there are so many that I love, but one of my favorites is "I don't want to waste my time, become another casualty of society".
