You're Not Sorry (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

 All this time I was wasting hoping you would come around

I've been giving out chances every time and all you do is let me down

And it's taken me this long, baby, but I've figured you out

And you're thinking we'll be fine again, but not this time around

You don't have to call anymore

I won't pick up the phone

This is the last straw

Don't wanna hurt anymore

And you can tell me that you're sorry

But I don't believe you, baby, like I did before

You're not sorry

No, no, oh-oh

You're looking so innocent, I might believe you if I didn't know

Could've loved you all my life if you hadn't left me waiting in the cold

And you've got your share of secrets

And I'm tired of being last to know, oh

And now you're asking me to listen

'Cause it's worked each time before

But you don't have to call anymore

I won't pick up the phone

This is the last straw

Don't wanna hurt anymore

And you can tell me that you're sorry

But I don't believe you, baby, like I did before

You're not sorry

No, no, oh-oh

You're not sorry

No, no, oh-oh

You had me crawling for you, honey

And it never would've gone away, no

You used to shine so bright, but I watched all of it fade

So you don't have to call anymore

I won't pick up the phone

This is the last straw

There's nothing left to beg for

And you can tell me that you're sorry

But I don't believe you, baby, like I did before

You're not sorry

No, no, oh-oh

You're not sorry

No, no, oh-oh

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Woah, oh, oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh, oh, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no

The Way I Loved You (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

 He is sensible and so incredible

And all my single friends are jealous

He says everything I need to hear and it's like

I couldn't ask for anything better

He opens up my door and I get into his car

And he says, "You look beautiful tonight."

And I feel perfectly fine

But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain

And it's 2 AM and I'm cursing your name

You're so in love that you act insane

And that's the way I loved you

Breaking down and coming undone

It's a roller coaster kind of rush

And I never knew I could feel that much

And that's the way I loved you

He respects my space

And never makes me wait

And he calls exactly when he says he will

He's close to my mother

Talks business with my father

He's charming and endearing

And I'm comfortable

But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain

And it's 2 AM and I'm cursing your name

You're so in love that you acted insane

And that's the way I loved you

Breaking down and coming undone

It's a roller coaster kind of rush

And I never knew I could feel that much

And that's the way I loved you

He can't see the smile I'm faking

And my heart's not breaking

'Cause I'm not feeling anything at all

And you were wild and crazy

Just so frustrating

Intoxicating, complicated

Got away by some mistake and now

I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain

It's 2 AM and I'm cursing your name

I'm so in love that I acted insane

And that's the way I loved you

Breaking down and coming undone

It's a roller coaster kind of rush

And I never knew I could feel that much

And that's the way I loved you oh, oh

Whoa, whoa, oh-oh, oh

And that's the way I loved you oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, whoa

Never knew I could feel that much

And that's the way I loved you

Forever & Always (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

 Once upon a time

I believe it was a Tuesday when I caught your eye

And we caught onto something

I hold onto the night

You looked me in the eye and told me you loved me

Were you just kidding?

'Cause it seems to me

This thing is breaking down, we almost never speak

I don't feel welcome anymore

Baby, what happened? Please tell me

'Cause one second it was perfect

Now you're halfway out the door

And I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called

And then you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all

And you flashback to when he said, "Forever and always."

Oh, and it rains in your bedroom

Everything is wrong

It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone

'Cause I was there when you said, "Forever and always."

Was I out of line?

Did I say something way too honest, made you run and hide

Like a scared little boy?

I looked into your eyes

Thought I knew you for a minute, now I'm not so sure

So here's to everything coming down to nothing

Here's to silence that cuts me to the core

Where is this going?

Thought I knew for a minute, but I don't anymore

And I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called

And then you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all

And you flashback to when he said, "Forever and always."

Oh, and it rains in your bedroom

Everything is wrong

It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone

'Cause I was there when you said, "Forever and always."

You didn't mean it baby, I don't think so

Oh, back up, baby, back up

Did you forget everything?

Back up, baby, back up

Did you forget everything?

'Cause it rains in your bedroom

Everything is wrong

It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone

'Cause I was there when you said, "Forever and always."

Oh, I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called

And then you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all

And you flashback to when we said, "Forever and always."

And it rains in your bedroom

Everything is wrong

It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone

'Cause I was there when you said, "Forever and always."

You didn't mean it baby

You said, "Forever and always," yeah

The Best Day (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

 I'm five years old, it's getting cold, I've got my big coat on

I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you, I run and run

Past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides

Look now, the sky is gold

I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home

I don't know why all the trees change in the fall

But I know you're not scared of anything at all

Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away

But I know I had the best day with you today

I'm thirteen now

And don't know how my friends could be so mean

I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys

And we drive and drive until we found a town far enough away

And we talk and window shop 'til I've forgotten all their names

I don't know who I'm going to talk to now at school

But I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you

Don't know how long it's going to take to feel okay

But I know I had the best day with you today

I have an excellent father, his strength is making me stronger

God smiles on my little brother, inside and out

He's better than I am

I grew up in a pretty house and I had space to run

And I had the best days with you

There is a video I found from back when I was three

You set up a paint set in the kitchen and you're talking to me

It's the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs

And Daddy's smart

And you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world

And now I know why all the trees change in the fall

I know you were on my side even when I was wrong

And I love you for giving me your eyes

For staying back and watching me shine

And I didn't know if you knew, so I'm taking this chance to say

That I had the best day with you today

Change (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

 Well, it's a sad picture, the final blow hits you

Somebody else gets what you wanted again and

You know it's all the same, another time and place

Repeating history and you're getting sick of it

But I believe in whatever you do

And I'll do anything to see it through

Because these things will change

Can you feel it now?

These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down

This revolution, the time will come

For us to finally win

And we'll sing hallelujah, we'll sing hallelujah

Oh, oh

So we've been outnumbered, raided, and now cornered

It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair

We're getting stronger now, find things they never found

They might be bigger but we're faster and never scared

You can walk away, say we don't need this

But there's something in your eyes says we can beat this

'Cause these things will change

Can you feel it now?

These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down

This revolution, the time will come

For us to finally win

And we'll sing hallelujah, we'll sing hallelujah

Oh, oh

Tonight, we'll stand, get off our knees

Fight for what we've worked for all these years

And the battle was long, it's the fight of our lives

But we'll stand up champions tonight

It was the night things changed

Can you see it now?

When the walls that they put up to hold us back fell down

It's a revolution, throw your hands up

'Cause we never gave in

And we'll sing hallelujah, we sang hallelujah

Hallelujah

Jump Then Fall (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

 I like the way you sound in the morning

We're on the phone and without a warning

I realize your laugh is the best sound

I have ever heard

I like the way I can't keep my focus

I watch you talk, you didn't notice

I hear the words but all I can think is

We should be together

Every time you smile, I smile

And every time you shine, I'll shine for you

Whoa oh, I'm feeling you, baby

Don't be afraid to

Jump then fall

Jump then fall into me

Baby, I'm never gonna leave you

Say that you wanna be with me too

'Cause I'ma stay through it all

So jump then fall

Well I like the way your hair falls in your face

You got the keys to me

I love each freckle on your face, oh

I've never been so wrapped up, honey

I like the way you're everything I ever wanted

I had time to think it o-over

And all I can say is come closer

Take a deep breath and jump then fall into me

'Cause every time you smile, I smile

And every time you shine, I'll shine for you

Whoa oh, I'm feeling you, baby

Don't be afraid to

Jump then fall

Jump then fall into me

Baby, I'm never gonna leave you

Say that you wanna be with me too

'Cause I'ma stay through it all

So jump then fall

The bottom's gonna drop out from under our feet

I'll catch you, I'll catch you

When people say things that bring you to your knees

I'll catch you

The time is gonna come when you're so mad you could cry

But I'll hold you through the night until you smile

Whoa oh, I need you, baby

Don't be afraid, please

Jump then fall

Jump then fall into me

Baby, I'm never gonna leave you

Say that you wanna be with me too

'Cause I'ma stay through it all

So jump then fall

Jump then fall, baby

Jump then fall into me, into me

Every time you smile, I smile

And every time you shine, I shine

And every time you're here

Baby, I'll show you, I'll show you

You can jump then fall, jump then fall

Jump then fall into me, into me, yeah

Untouchable (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

 Untouchable like a distant diamond sky

I'm reaching out and I just can't tell you why

I'm caught up in you, I'm caught up in you

Untouchable, burning brighter than the sun

And when you're close, I feel like coming undone

In the middle of the night when I'm in this dream

It's like a million little stars spelling out your name

You got to come on, come on, say that we'll be together

Come on, come on, little taste of heaven

It's half full and I won't wait here all day

I know you're saying that you'd be here anyway

But you're untouchable, burning brighter than the sun

And now that you're close, I feel like coming undone

In the middle of the night when I'm in this dream

It's like a million little stars spelling out your name

You got to come on, come on, say that we'll be together

Come on, come on, oh

In the middle of the night waking from this dream

I want to feel you by my side, standing next to me

You got to come on, come on, say that we'll be together

Come on, come on, little taste of heaven

I'm caught up in you

Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh

But you're untouchable, burning brighter than the sun

Now that you're close, I feel like coming undone

In the middle of the night when I'm in this dream

It's like a million little stars spelling out your name

You got to come on, come on, say that we'll be together

Come on, come on, oh

In the middle of the night when I'm in this dream

It's like a million little stars spelling out your name

You got to come on, come on, say that we'll be together

Come on, come on, come on

In the middle of the night waking from this dream

I want to feel you by my side, standing next to me

You got to come on, come on, say that we'll be together

Come on, come on, little taste of heaven

And in the middle of the night when I'm in this dream

It's like a million little stars spelling out your name

You got to come on, come on, oh, come on, come on

Come on, come on, oh, oh, oh

It's like a million little stars spelling out your name

They're spelling out your name, oh

Come In With The Rain (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

 I could go back to every laugh

But I don't wanna go there anymore

And I know all the steps up to your door

But I don't wanna go there anymore

Talk to the wind, talk to the sky

Talk to the man with the reasons why

And let me know what you find

I'll leave my window open

'Cause I'm too tired at night to call your name

Just know I'm right here hoping

That you'll come in with the rain

I could stand up and sing you a song

But I don't wanna have to go that far

And I, I've got you down, I know you by heart

And you don't even know where I start

Talk to yourself, talk to the tears

Talk to the man who put you here

And don't wait for the sky to clear

I'll leave my window open

'Cause I'm too tired at night to call your name

Just know I'm right here hoping

That you'll come in with the rain

I've watched you so long, screamed your name

I don't know what else I can say

I'll leave my window open

'Cause I'm too tired at night for all these games

Just know I'm right here hoping

That you'll come in with the rain

I could go back to every laugh

But I don't wanna go there anymore

Superstar (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

 This is wrong but I can't help but feel like

There ain't nothing more right babe

Misty morning comes again and I can't

Help but wish I could see your face

And I knew from the first note played

I'd be breaking all my rules to see you

You smile that beautiful smile and all the girls in the front row

Scream your name

So dim that spotlight, tell me things like

I can't keep my eyes off of you

I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl

Who's desperately in love with you

Give me a photograph to hang on my wall, superstar

Morning loneliness

Comes around when I'm not dreaming about you

When my world wakes up today

You'll be in another town

And I knew when I saw your face

I'd be counting down the ways to see you

You smile that beautiful smile and all the girls in the front row scream your name

So dim that spotlight, tell me things like

I can't take my eyes off of you

I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl

Who's desperately in love with you

Give me a photograph to hang on my wall, superstar

You played in bars, you play guitar

And I'm invisible and everyone knows who you are

And you'll never see, you sing me to sleep

Every night from the radio

So dim that spotlight, tell me things like

I can't take my eyes off of you

I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl

Who's desperately in love with you

Give me a photograph to hang on my wall, superstar

Sweet, sweet superstar

Superstar

The Other Side Of The Door (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

 In the heat of the fight I walked away

Ignorin' words that you were sayin'

Tryna make me stay

I said, "This time I've had enough"

And you've called a hundred times

But I'm not picking up

'Cause I'm so mad I might tell you that it's over

But if you look a little closer

I said, "Leave," but all I really want is you

To stand outside my window throwin' pebbles

Screamin', "I'm in love with you"

Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more

And don't you leave 'cause I know

All I need is on the other side of the door

Me and my stupid pride are sittin' here alone

Goin' through the photographs, starin' at the phone

I keep goin' back over things we both said

And I remember the slamming door

And all the things that I misread

Oh, babe, if you know everything

Tell me why you couldn't see

When I left, I wanted you to chase after me, yeah

I said, "Leave," but all I really want is you

To stand outside my window throwin' pebbles

Screamin', "I'm in love with you"

Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more

And don't you leave 'cause I know

All I need is on the other side of the door

And I'll scream out the window

I can't even look at you

I don't need you but I do, I do, I do

I say, "There's nothing you can say

To make this right again, I mean it, I mean it"

But what I mean is

I said, "Leave," but, baby, all I want is you

To stand outside my window throwin' pebbles

Screamin', "I'm in love with you"

Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more

And don't you leave 'cause I know

All I need is on the other side of the door

With your face and the beautiful eyes

And the conversation with the little white lies

And the faded picture of a beautiful night

You carried me from your car up the stairs

And I broke down crying, was she worth this mess?

After everything and that little black dress

After everything I must confess, I need you

Today Was A Fairytale (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

 Today was a fairytale

You were the prince

I used to be a damsel in distress

You took me by the hand and you picked me up at six

Today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale

I wore a dress

You wore a dark grey t-shirt

You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess

Today was a fairytale

Time slows down

Whenever you're around

Can you feel this magic in the air?

It must have been the way you kissed me

Fell in love when I saw you standing there

It must have been the way

Today was a fairytale

It must have been the way

Today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale

You've got a smile

That takes me to another planet

Every move you make everything you say is right

Today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale

All that I can say

Is now it's getting so much clearer

Nothing made sense 'til the time I saw your face

Today was a fairytale

Time slows down

Whenever you're around, yeah

But can you feel this magic in the air?

It must have been the way you kissed me

Fell in love when I saw you standing there

It must have been the way

Today was a fairytale

It must have been the way

Today was a fairytale

Time slows down

Whenever you're around

I can feel my heart

It's beating in my chest

Did you feel it?

I can't put this down

But can you feel this magic in the air?

It must have been the way you kissed me

Fell in love when I saw you standing there

It must have been the way

But can you feel this magic in the air?

It must have been the way you kissed me

Fell in love when I saw you standing there

It must have been the way

Today was a fairytale

It must have been the way

Today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale

You All Over Me (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) lyrics - taylor swift (feat. Maren Morris)

 [Taylor Swift:]

Once the last drop of rain has dried off the pavement

Shouldn't I find a stain, but I never do

The way the tires turn stones, on old county roads

They leave 'em muddy underneath

Reminds me of you

You find graffiti on the walls of old bathroom stalls

You know, you can scratch it right off

It's how it used to be

But like the dollar in your pocket it's been spent and traded in

You can't change where it's been

Reminds me of me

[Taylor Swift and Maren Morris:]

I lived, and I learned

Had you, got burned

Held out, and held on

God knows, too long

And wasted time, lost tears

Swore that I'd get out of here

But no amount of freedom gets you clean

I've still got you all over me

The best and worst day of June

Was the one that I met you

With your hands in your pockets

And your "Don't you wish you had me?" grin

Well, I did, so I smiled, and I melted like a child

Now every breath of air I breathe reminds me of then

And I lived, and I learned

Had you, got burned

Held out, and held on

God knows, too long

And wasted time, lost tears

Swore that I'd get out of here

But no amount of freedom gets you clean

I've still got you all over me

I lived, and I learned

And found out what it was to turn around

And see, that we

Were never really meant to be

So I lied, and I cried

And I watched a part of myself die

'Cause no amount of freedom gets you clean

I've still got you all over me

I've still got you all over me

Still got you all over me

Mr. Perfectly Fine (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) lyrics - taylor swift

 Mr. "Perfect face"

Mr. "Here to stay"

Mr. "Looked me in the eye and told me you would never go away"

Everything was right

Mr. "I've been waiting for you all my life"

Mr. "Every single day until the end, I will be by your side"

But that was when I got to know Mr. "Change of heart"

Mr. "Leaves me all alone," I fall apart

It takes everything in me just to get up each day

But it's wonderful to see that you're okay

Hello Mr. "Perfectly fine"

How's your heart after breaking mine?

Mr. "Always at the right place at the right time," baby

Hello Mr. "Casually cruel"

Mr. "Everything revolves around you"

I've been Miss "Misery" since your goodbye

And you're Mr. "Perfectly fine"

Mr. "Never told me why"

Mr. "Never had to see me cry"

Mr. "Insincere apology so he doesn't look like the bad guy"

He goes about his day

Forgets he ever even heard my name

Well, I thought you might be different than the rest, I guess you're all the same

'Cause I hear he's got his arm 'round a brand-new girl

I've been pickin' up my heart, he's been pickin' up her

And I never got past what you put me through

But it's wonderful to see that it never fazed you

Hello Mr. "Perfectly fine"

How's your heart after breakin' mine?

Mr. "Always at the right place at the right time," baby

Hello Mr. "Casually cruel"

Mr. "Everything revolves around you"

I've been Miss "Misery" since your goodbye

And you're Mr. "Perfectly fine"

So dignified in your well-pressed suit

So strategized, all the eyes on you

Sashay away to your seat

It's the best seat, in the best room

Oh, he's so smug, Mr. "Always wins"

So far above me in every sense

So far above feeling anything

And it's really such a shame

It's such a shame

'Cause I was Miss "Here to stay"

Now I'm Miss "Gonna be alright someday"

And someday maybe you'll miss me

But by then, you'll be Mr. "Too late"

Goodbye Mr. "Perfectly fine"

How's your heart after breakin' mine?

Mr. "Always at the right place at the right time," baby

Goodbye Mr. "Casually cruel"

Mr. "Everything revolves around you"

I've been Miss "Misery" for the last time

And you're Mr. "Perfectly fine"

You're perfectly fine

Mr. "Looked me in the eye and told me you would never go away"

You said you'd never go away

We Were Happy (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) lyrics - taylor swift

 We used to walk along the streets

When the porch lights were shining bright

Before I had somewhere to be

Back when we had all night and we were happy

I do recall a good while back, we snuck into the circus

You threw your arms around my neck, back when I deserved it

And we were happy

When it was good, baby, it was good, baby

We showed 'em all up

No one could touch the way we laughed in the dark

Talking 'bout your daddy's farm we were gonna buy someday

And we were happy

We used to watch the sun go down on the boats in the water

That's sorta how I feel right now

And goodbye's so much harder 'cause we were happy

When it was good, baby, it was good, baby

We showed 'em all up

No one could touch the way we laughed in the dark

Talking 'bout your daddy's farm we were gonna buy someday

And we were happy

We were happy

Oh, I hate those voices telling me I'm not in love anymore

But they don't give me choices and that's what these tears are for

'Cause we were happy, we were happy

When it was good, baby, it was good, baby

We showed 'em all up

No one could touch the way we laughed in the dark

Talking 'bout your daddy's farm

And you were gonna marry me

And we were happy

Yeah, we were happy

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

We were happy

That's When (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) lyrics - taylor swift (feat. Keith Urban)

 [Taylor Swift:]

You said, "I know"

When I said, "I need some time, need some space

To think about all of this"

You watched me go

And I knew my

Words were hard to hear

And harder to ever take back

And I said, "When can I-I-I come back?"

[Taylor Swift and Keith Urban:]

And you said that's when

When I wake up in the morning

That's when, when it's sunny or storming

Laughing, when I'm crying

And that's when, I'll be waiting at the front gate

That's when, when I see your face

I'll let you in, and baby, that's when

Mm, mm

I said, "I know"

When you said, "I did you wrong

Made mistakes

And put you through all of this" (through all of this)

Then through the phone

Came all your tears

And I said, "Leave those all in our past"

And you said, "When can I-I-I come back?"

And I said, that's when

When I wake up in the morning

That's when, when it's sunny or storming

Laughing, when I'm crying

And that's when I'll be waiting at the front gate

That's when, when I see your face

I'll let you in, and baby, that's when"

[Taylor Swift:]

And you said, "Honestly

When you were gone

Did you ever think of me?"

And I said

[Taylor Swift with Keith Urban:]

"That's when, when I woke up in the morning

That's when, it was sunny or storming

Laughing when I was crying

And that's when, you were waiting at the front gate

That's when, when I saw your face

You let me in, and baby, that's when"

That's when, when I wake up in the morning (Yeah)

That's when, when it's sunny or storming

When I'm laughing, when I'm crying

That's when I'll be waiting at the front gate

(That when I miss you, that's when I want you)

That's when, when I see your face

That's when I love you, that's when

Don't You (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) lyrics - taylor swift

 Hey, I knew I'd run into you somewhere

It's been a while, I didn't mean to stare

I heard she's nothin' like me

I'm sure she'll make you happy

But don't you

Don't you smile at me and ask me how I've been

Don't you say you've missed me if you don't want me again

You don't know how much I feel I love you still

So why don't you, don't you?

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Sometimes I really wish that I could hate you

I've tried, but that's just somethin' I can't do

My heart knows what the truth is

I swore I wouldn't do this

But don't you

Don't you smile at me and ask me how I've been

Don't you say you've missed me if you don't want me again

You don't know how much I feel I love you still

So why don't you, don't you?

So I walk outta here tonight

Try to go on with my life

And you can say, "We're still friends"

I don't wanna pretend

So if I see you again

Don't you (Don't you)

Don't you smile at me and ask me how I've been

Don't you (Don't you), say you've missed me if you don't want me again

You don't (You don't), know how much I feel I love you still

So why don't you, don't you?

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Don't you, ah, ah, ah

Bye Bye Baby (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) lyrics - taylor swift

 It wasn't just like a movie

The rain didn't soak through my clothes, down to my skin

I'm driving away and I, I guess you could say

This is the last time I'll drive this way again

Lost in the gray and I try to grab at the fray

'Cause I, I still love you but I can't

Bye, bye, to everything I thought was on my side

Bye, bye, baby

I want you back but it's come down to nothing

And all I have is your sympathy

'Cause you took me home but you just couldn't keep me

Bye, bye, baby

Bye, bye, baby

The picture frame is empty

On the dresser, vacant just like me

I see your writing on the dash

Then back to your hesitation

I was so sure of everything

Everything I thought we'd always have

Guess I never doubted it

Then the here and the now floods in

Feels like I'm becoming a part of your past

Bye, bye, to everything I thought was on my side

Bye, bye, baby

I want you back but it's come down to nothing

And all I have is your sympathy

'Cause you took me home but you just couldn't keep me

Bye, bye, baby

And there's so much that I can't touch

You're all I want but it's not enough this time

And all the pages are just slipping through my hands

And I'm so scared of how this ends

Bye, bye, to everything I thought was on my side

Bye, bye, baby

I want you back but it's come down to nothing

And all I have is your sympathy

'Cause you took me home but you just couldn't keep me

Bye, bye, to everything I thought was on my side

Bye, bye, baby

I want you back but it's come down to nothing

And all I have is your sympathy

'Cause you took me home but you just couldn't keep me

Oh, you took me home, I thought you were gonna keep me

Bye, bye, baby

Bye, bye, baby

willow lyrics - taylor swift

 I'm like the water when your ship rolled in that night

Rough on the surface but you cut through like a knife

And if it was an open/shut case

I never would've known from that look on your face

Lost in your current like a priceless wine

The more that you say, the less I know

Wherever you stray, I follow

I'm begging for you to take my hand

Wreck my plans, that's my man

Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind

Head on the pillow, I could feel you sneaking in

As if you were a mythical thing

Like you were a trophy or a champion ring

And there was one prize I'd cheat to win

The more that you say, the less I know

Wherever you stray, I follow

I'm begging for you to take my hand

Wreck my plans, that's my man

You know that my train could take you home

Anywhere else is hollow

I'm begging for you to take my hand

Wreck my plans, that's my man

Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind

They count me out time and time again

Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind

But I come back stronger than a 90's trend

Wait for the signal and I'll meet you after dark

Show me the places where the others gave you scars

Now this is an open/shut case

I guess I should've known from the look on your face

Every bait-and-switch was a work of art

The more that you say, the less I know

Wherever you stray, I follow

I'm begging for you to take my hand

Wreck my plans, that's my man

You know that my train could take you home

Anywhere else is hollow

I'm begging for you to take my hand

Wreck my plans, that's my man

The more that you say, the less I know

Wherever you stray, I follow

I'm begging for you to take my hand

Wreck my plans, that's my man

You know that my train could take you home

Anywhere else is hollow

I'm begging for you to take my hand

Wreck my plans, that's my man

Hey, that's my man

That's my man

Yeah, that's my man

Every bait-and-switch was a work of art

That's my man

Hey, that's my man

I'm begging for you to take my hand

Wreck my plans, that's my man

champagne problems lyrics - taylor swift

 You booked the night train for a reason

So you could sit there in this hurt

Bustling crowds or silent sleepers

You're not sure which is worse

Because I dropped your hand while dancing

Left you out there standing

Crestfallen on the landing

Champagne problems

Your mom's ring in your pocket

My picture in your wallet

Your heart was glass, I dropped it

Champagne problems

You told your family for a reason

You couldn't keep it in

Your sister splashed out on the bottle

Now no one's celebrating

Dom Pérignon, you brought it

No crowd of friends applauded

Your hometown skeptics called it

Champagne problems

You had a speech, you're speechless

Love slipped beyond your reaches

And I couldn't give a reason

Champagne problems

Your Midas touch on the Chevy door

November flush and your flannel cure

"This dorm was once a madhouse"

I made a joke, "Well, it's made for me"

How evergreen, our group of friends

Don't think we'll say that word again

And soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls

That we once walked through

One for the money, two for the show

I never was ready, so I watch you go

Sometimes you just don't know the answer

'Til someone's on their knees and asks you

"She would've made such a lovely bride

What a shame she's fucked in the head," they said

But you'll find the real thing instead

She'll patch up your tapestry that I shred

And hold your hand while dancing

Never leave you standing

Crestfallen on the landing

With champagne problems

Your mom's ring in your pocket

Her picture in your wallet

You won't remember all my

Champagne problems

You won't remember all my

Champagne problems

gold rush lyrics - taylor swift

 Gleaming

Twinkling

Eyes like sinking ships

On waters so inviting

I almost jump in

I don't like a gold rush, gold rush

I don't like anticipating my face in a red flush

I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch

Everybody wants you

Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you

Walk past, quick brush

I don't like slow motion double vision in rose blush

I don't like that falling feels like flying 'til the bone crush

Everybody wants you

But I don't like a gold rush

What must it be like

To grow up that beautiful?

With your hair falling into place like dominoes

I see me padding across your wooden floors

With my Eagles T-shirt hanging from the door

At dinner parties

I call you out on your contrarian shit

And the coastal town

We wandered 'round had never

Seen a love as pure as it

And then it fades into the gray of my day-old tea

'Cause it could never be

'Cause I don't like a gold rush, gold rush

I don't like anticipating my face in a red flush

I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch

Everybody wants you

Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you

Walk past, quick brush

I don't like slow motion double vision in rose blush

I don't like that falling feels like flying 'til the bone crush

Everybody wants you

And I don't like a gold rush

What must it be like

To grow up that beautiful?

With your hair falling into place like dominoes

My mind turns your life into folklore

I can't dare to dream about you anymore

At dinner parties

I won't call you out on your contrarian shit

And the coastal town

We never found will never

See a love as pure as it

'Cause it fades into the gray of my day-old tea

'Cause it will never be

Gleaming

Twinkling

Eyes like sinking ships

On waters so inviting

I almost jump in

'tis the damn season lyrics - taylor swift

 If I wanted to know

Who you were hanging with

While I was gone, I would've asked you

It's the kind of cold

Fogs up windshield glass

But I felt it when I passed you

There's an ache in you

Put there by the ache in me

But if it's all the same to you

It's the same to me

So we could call it even

You could call me "babe" for the weekend

'Tis the damn season, write this down

I'm staying at my parents' house

And the road not taken looks real good now

And it always leads to you and my hometown

I parked my car

Right between the Methodist and the school that used to be ours

The holidays linger like bad perfume

You can run but only so far

I escaped it too

Remember how you watched me leave

But if it's okay with you

It's okay with me

We could call it even

You could call me "babe" for the weekend

'Tis the damn season, write this down

I'm staying at my parents' house

And the road not taken looks real good now

Time flies

Messy as the mud on your truck tires

Now I'm missing your smile, hear me out

We could just ride around

And the road not taken looks real good now

And it always leads to you and my hometown

Sleep in half the day

Just for old times' sake

I won't ask you to wait

If you don't ask me to stay

So I'll go back to LA

And the so-called friends who'll write books about me if I ever make it

And wonder about the only soul who can tell which smiles I'm faking

And the heart I know I'm breaking is my own

To leave the warmest bed I've ever known

We could call it even

Even though I'm leaving

And I'll be yours for the weekend

'Tis the damn season

We could call it even

You could call me "babe" for the weekend

'Tis the damn season, write this down

I'm staying at my parents' house

And the road not taken looks real good now

Time flies

Messy as the mud on your truck tires

Now I'm missing your smile, hear me out

We could just ride around

And the road not taken looks real good now

And it always leads to you and my hometown

It always leads to you and my hometown

tolerate it lyrics - taylor swift

 I sit and watch you reading with your head low

I wake and watch you breathing with your eyes closed

I sit and watch you, I notice everything you do or don't do

You're so much older and wiser and I

I wait by the door like I'm just a kid

Use my best colors for your portrait

Lay the table with the fancy shit

And watch you tolerate it

If it's all in my head tell me now

Tell me I've got it wrong somehow

I know my love should be celebrated

But you tolerate it

I greet you with a battle hero's welcome

I take your indiscretions all in good fun

I sit and listen, I polish plates until they gleam and glisten

You're so much older and wiser and I

I wait by the door like I'm just a kid

Use my best colors for your portrait

Lay the table with the fancy shit

And watch you tolerate it

If it's all in my head tell me now

Tell me I've got it wrong somehow

I know my love should be celebrated

But you tolerate it

While you were out building other worlds, where was I?

Where's that man who'd throw blankets over my barbed wire?

I made you my temple, my mural, my sky

Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life

Drawing hearts in the byline

Always taking up too much space or time

You assume I'm fine

But what would you do if I

Break free and leave us in ruins

Took this dagger in me and removed it

Gain the weight of you then lose it

Believe me, I could do it

If it's all in my head tell me now

Tell me I've got it wrong somehow

I know my love should be celebrated

But you tolerate it

I sit and watch you

no body, no crime lyrics - taylor swift (feat. HAIM)

 [HAIM:]

He did it

He did it

[Taylor Swift:]

Este's a friend of mine

We meet up every Tuesday night for dinner and a glass of wine

Este's been losing sleep

Her husband's acting different and it smells like infidelity

She says, "That ain't my Merlot on his mouth

That ain't my jewelry on our joint account"

No, there ain't no doubt

I think I'm gonna call him out

She says

[Taylor Swift and HAIM:]

I think he did it but I just can't prove it

I think he did it but I just can't prove it

I think he did it but I just can't prove it

No, no body, no crime

But I ain't letting up until the day I die

[HAIM:]

No, no

I think he did it

No, no

He did it

[Taylor Swift:]

Este wasn't there

Tuesday night at Olive Garden at her job or anywhere

He reports his missing wife

And I noticed when I passed his house his truck has got some brand new tires

And his mistress moved in

Sleeps in Este's bed and everything

No, there ain't no doubt

Somebody's gotta catch him out

'Cause

[Taylor Swift and HAIM:]

I think he did it but I just can't prove it (He did it)

I think he did it but I just can't prove it (He did it)

I think he did it but I just can't prove it

No, no body, no crime

But I ain't letting up until the day I die

No, no

I think he did it

No, no

He did it

Good thing my daddy made me get a boating license when I was 15

And I've cleaned enough houses to know how to cover up a scene

Good thing Este's sister's gonna swear she was with me ("She was with me dude")

Good thing his mistress took out a big life insurance policy

[Taylor Swift:]

They think she did it but they just can't prove it

They think she did it but they just can't prove it

She thinks I did it but she just can't prove it

[Taylor Swift and HAIM:]

No, no body, no crime

I wasn't letting up until the day he

No, no body, no crime

I wasn't letting up until the day he

No, no body, no crime

I wasn't letting up until the day he

Died

happiness lyrics - taylor swift

 Honey, when I'm above the trees

I see this for what it is

But now I'm right down in it, all the years I've given

Is just shit we're dividin' up

Showed you all of my hiding spots

I was dancing when the music stopped

And in the disbelief, I can't face reinvention

I haven't met the new me yet

There'll be happiness after you

But there was happiness because of you

Both of these things can be true

There is happiness

Past the blood and bruise

Past the curses and cries

Beyond the terror in the nightfall

Haunted by the look in my eyes

That would've loved you for a lifetime

Leave it all behind

And there is happiness

Tell me, when did your winning smile

Begin to look like a smirk?

When did all our lessons start to look like weapons

Pointed at my deepest hurt?

I hope she'll be a beautiful fool

Who takes my spot next to you

No, I didn't mean that

Sorry, I can't see facts through all of my fury

You haven't met the new me yet

There'll be happiness after me

But there was happiness because of me

Both of these things, I believe

There is happiness

In our history, across our great divide

There is a glorious sunrise

Dappled with the flickers of light

From the dress I wore at midnight, leave it all behind

And there is happiness

I can't make it go away by making you a villain

I guess it's the price I paid for seven years in Heaven

And I pulled your body into mine

Every goddamn night, now I get fake niceties

No one teaches you what to do

When a good man hurts you

And you know you hurt him, too

Honey, when I'm above the trees

I see it for what it is

But now my eyes leak acid rain on the pillow where you used to lay your head

After giving you the best I had

Tell me what to give after that

All you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness

You haven't met the new me yet

And I think she'll give you that

There'll be happiness after you

But there was happiness because of you, too

Both of these things can be true

There is happiness

In our history, across our great divide

There is a glorious sunrise

Dappled with the flickers of light

From the dress I wore at midnight, leave it all behind

Oh, leave it all behind

Leave it all behind

And there is happiness

dorothea lyrics - taylor swift

 Hey Dorothea

Do you ever stop and think about me?

When we were younger

Down in the park

Honey, making a lark of the misery

You got shiny friends since you left town

A tiny screen's the only place I see you now

And I got nothing but well wishes for ya

Oooh

This place is the same as it ever was

Oooh

But you won't like it that way

It's never too late

To come back to my side

The stars in your eyes

Shined brighter in Tupelo

And if you're ever tired of being known

For who you know

You know that you'll always know me

Dorothea

Dorothea

Ooh, you're a queen

Selling dreams

Selling make-up and magazines

Ooh, from you I'd buy anything

Hey Dorothea

Do you ever stop and think about me?

When it was calmer

Skipping the prom

Just to piss off your mom

And her pageant schemes

And damn, Dorothea

They all wanna be ya

But are you still the same soul

I met under the bleachers? Well

Oooh

I guess I'll never know

Oooh

And you'll go on with the show

But it's never too late

To come back to my side

The stars in your eyes

Shined brighter in Tupelo

And if you're ever tired of being known

For who you know

You know you'll always know me

Dorothea

Dorothea

Oooh

Oooh

Ooh-woo-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Oooh

Oooh

Ooh-woo-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Dorothea

coney island lyrics - taylor swift (feat. The National)

 [Taylor Swift:]

Break my soul in two

Looking for you but you're right here

If I can't relate to you anymore

Then who am I related to?

And if this is the long haul

How'd we get here so soon?

Did I close my fist around something delicate?

Did I shatter you?

And I'm sitting on a bench in Coney Island wondering where did my baby go?

The fast times, the bright lights, the merry go

Sorry for not making you my centerfold

Over and over

Lost again with no surprises

Disappointments, close your eyes

And it gets colder and colder

When the sun goes down

[Matt Berninger and Taylor Swift:]

The question pounds my head

"What's a lifetime of achievement?"

If I pushed you to the edge

But you were too polite to leave me

And do you miss the rogue

Who coaxed you into paradise and left you there?

Will you forgive my soul

When you're too wise to trust me and too old to care?

'Cause we were like the mall before the Internet

It was the one place to be

The mischief, the gift wrapped suburban dreams

Sorry for not winning you an arcade ring

Over and over

Lost again with no surprises

Disappointments, close your eyes

And it gets colder and colder

When the sun goes down

Were you waiting at our old spot

In the tree line by the gold clock

Did I leave you hanging every single day?

Were you standing in the hallway

With a big cake, happy birthday

Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest gray?

A universe away

And when I got into the accident

The sight that flashed before me was your face

But when I walked up to the podium

I think that I forgot to say your name

I'm on a bench in Coney Island wondering where did my baby go?

The fast times, the bright lights, the merry go

Sorry for not making you my centerfold

Over and over

Lost again with no surprises

Disappointments, close your eyes

And it gets colder and colder

When the sun goes down

When the sun goes down

The sight that flashed before me was your face

When the sun goes down

But I think that I forgot to say your name

Over and over

Sorry for not making you my

Making you my

Making you my centerfold

ivy lyrics - taylor swift

 How's one to know?

I'd meet you where the spirit meets the bones

In a faith-forgotten land

In from the snow

Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow

Tarnished but so grand

And the old widow goes to the stone every day

But I don't, I just sit here and wait

Grieving for the living

Oh, goddamn

My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand

Taking mine, but it's been promised to another

Oh, I can't

Stop you putting roots in my dreamland

My house of stone, your ivy grows

And now I'm covered in you

I wish to know

The fatal flaw that makes you long to be

Magnificently cursed

He's in the room

Your opal eyes are all I wish to see

He wants what's only yours

Oh, goddamn

My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand

Taking mine, but it's been promised to another

Oh, I can't

Stop you putting roots in my dreamland

My house of stone, your ivy grows

And now I'm covered

Clover blooms in the fields

Spring breaks loose, the time is near

What would he do if he found us out?

Crescent moon, coast is clear

Spring breaks loose, but so does fear

He's gonna burn this house to the ground

How's one to know?

I'd live and die for moments that we stole

On begged and borrowed time

So tell me to run

Or dare to sit and watch what we'll become

And drink my husband's wine

Oh, goddamn

My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand

Taking mine, but it's been promised to another

Oh, I can't

Stop you putting roots in my dreamland

My house of stone, your ivy grows

And now I'm covered in you

And I'm covered in you

So yeah, it's a fire

It's a goddamn blaze in the dark

And you started it

You started it

So yeah, it's a war

It's the goddamn fight of my life

And you started it

You started it

Oh, I can't

Stop you putting roots in my dreamland

My house of stone, your ivy grows

And now I'm covered

In you

In you

Now I'm covered in you

In you

cowboy like me lyrics - taylor swift

 And the tennis court was covered up

With some tent-like thing

And you asked me to dance

But I said, "Dancin' is a dangerous game."

Oh, I thought

This is gonna be one of those things

Now I know

I'm never gonna love again

I've got some tricks up my sleeve

Takes one to know one

You're a cowboy like me

Never wanted love

Just a fancy car

Now I'm waiting by the phone

Like I'm sitting in an airport bar

You had some tricks up your sleeve

Takes one to know one

You're a cowboy like me

Perched in the dark

Telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear

Like it could be love

I could be the way forward

Only if they pay for it

You're a bandit like me

Eyes full of stars

Hustling for the good life

Never thought I'd meet you here

It could be love

We could be the way forward

And I know I'll pay for it

You're a cowboy like me

Perched in the dark

Telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear

Like it could be love

I could be the way forward

Only if they pay for it

You're a bandit like me

Eyes full of stars

Hustling for the good life

Never thought I'd meet you here

It could be love

We could be the way forward

And I know I'll pay for it

And the skeletons in both our closets

Plotted hard to fuck this up

And the old men that I've swindled

Really did believe I was the one

And the ladies lunching have their stories about

When you passed through town

But that was all before I locked it down

Now you hang from my lips

Like the Gardens of Babylon

With your boots beneath my bed

Forever is the sweetest con

I've had some tricks up my sleeve

Takes one to know one

You're a cowboy like me

And I'm never gonna love again

I'm never gonna love again

I'm never gonna love again

long story short lyrics - taylor swift

 Fatefully

I tried to pick my battles

'Til the battle picked me

Misery

Like the war of words I shouted in my sleep

And you passed right by

I was in the alley surrounded on all sides

The knife cuts both ways

If the shoe fits, walk in it

'Til your high heels break

And I fell from the pedestal

Right down the rabbit hole

Long story short, it was a bad time

Pushed from the precipice

Clung to the nearest lips

Long story short, it was the wrong guy

Now I'm all about you

I'm all about you

I'm all about you

Actually

I always felt I must look better in the rear view

Missing me

At the golden gates they once held the keys to

When I dropped my sword

I threw it in the bushes and knocked on your door

And we live in peace

But if someone comes at us

This time I'm ready

'Cause I fell from the pedestal

Right down the rabbit hole

Long story short, it was a bad time

Pushed from the precipice

Clung to the nearest lips

Long story short, it was the wrong guy

Now I'm all about you

I'm all about you

I'm all about you

No more keepin' score

Now I just keep you warm (Keep you warm)

No more tug of war

Now I just know there's more (Know there's more)

No more keepin' score

Now I just keep you warm (Keep you warm)

And my waves meet your shore

Ever and evermore

Past me

I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things

Your nemeses will defeat themselves

Before you get the chance to swing

And he's passing by

Rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky

And he feels like home

If the shoe fits, walk in it

Everywhere you go

And I fell from the pedestal

Right down the rabbit hole

Long story short, it was a bad time

Pushed from the precipice

Climbed right back up the cliff

Long story short, I survived

Now I'm all about you

(And now) I'm all about you, ah

(And now) I'm all about you

(And now) I'm all about you, ah

Yeah, yeah

I'm all about you

(And now) Yeah, yeah

I'm all about you

Long story short, it was a bad time

Long story short, I survived

marjorie lyrics - taylor swift

 Never be so kind, you forget to be clever

Never be so clever, you forget to be kind

And if I didn't know better

I'd think you were talking to me now

If I didn't know better

I'd think you were still around

What died didn't stay dead

What died didn't stay dead

You're alive, you're alive in my head

What died didn't stay dead

What died didn't stay dead

You're alive, so alive

Never be so polite, you forget your power

Never wield such power, you forget to be polite

And if I didn't know better

I'd think you were listening to me now

If I didn't know better

I'd think you were still around

What died didn't stay dead

What died didn't stay dead

You're alive, you're alive in my head

What died didn't stay dead

What died didn't stay dead

You're alive, so alive

The autumn chill that wakes me up

You loved the amber skies so much

Long limbs and frozen swims

You'd always go past where our feet could touch

And I complained the whole way there

The car ride back and up the stairs

I should've asked you questions

I should've asked you how to be

Asked you to write it down for me

Should've kept every grocery store receipt

'Cause every scrap of you would be taken from me

Watched as you signed your name Marjorie

All your closets of backlogged dreams

And how you left them all to me

What died didn't stay dead

What died didn't stay dead

You're alive, you're alive in my head

What died didn't stay dead

What died didn't stay dead

You're alive, so alive

And if I didn't know better

I'd think you were singing to me now

If I didn't know better

I'd think you were still around

I know better

But I still feel you all around

I know better

But you're still around

closure lyrics - taylor swift

 It's been a long time

And seeing the shape of your name

Still spells out pain

It wasn't right

The way it all went down

Looks like you know that now

Yes, I got your letter

Yes, I'm doing better

It cut deep to know ya

Right to the bone

Yes, I got your letter

Yes, I'm doing better

I know that it's over

I don't need your "closure"

Your "closure"

Don't treat me like some situation that needs to be handled

I'm fine with my spite

And my tears

And my beers and my candles

I can feel you smoothing me over

Yes, I got your letter

Yes, I'm doing better

It cut deep to know ya

Right to the bone

Yes, I got your letter

Yes, I'm doing better

I know that it's over

I don't need your "closure"

Your "closure"

Your "closure"

Your "closure"

I know I'm just a

Wrinkle in your new life

Staying "friends"

Would iron it out so nice

Guilty, guilty reaching out across the sea

That you put between you and me

But it's fake

And it's oh so unnecessary

Yes, I got your letter

Yes, I'm doing better

It cut deep to know ya

Right to the bone

Yes, I got your letter

Yes, I'm doing better

I know that it's over

I don't need your "closure"

"Closure"

Your "closure"

Your "closure"

evermore lyrics - taylor swift (feat. Bon Iver)

 [Taylor Swift:]

Gray November

I've been down since July

Motion capture

Put me in a bad light

I replay my footsteps on each stepping stone

Trying to find the one where I went wrong

Writing letters

Addressed to the fire

And I was catching my breath

Staring out an open window

Catching my death

And I couldn't be sure

I had a feeling so peculiar

That this pain would be for

Evermore

Hey December

Guess I'm feeling unmoored

Can't remember

What I used to fight for

I rewind the tape but all it does is pause

On the very moment all was lost

Sending signals

To be double-crossed

[Taylor Swift and Justin Vernon:]

And I was catching my breath

Barefoot in the wildest winter

Catching my death

And I couldn't be sure

I had a feeling so peculiar

That this pain would be for

Evermore

(Evermore)

[Justin Vernon:]

Can't not think of all the cost

And the things that will be lost

Oh, can we just get a pause?

To be certain we'll be tall again

Whether weather be the frost

Or the violence of the dog days

I'm on waves, out being tossed

Is there a line that I could just go cross?

[Taylor Swift and Justin Vernon:]

And when I was shipwrecked (Can't think of all the cost)

I thought of you (All the things that will be lost now)

In the cracks of light (Can we just get a pause?)

I dreamed of you (To be certain we'll be tall again)

(If you think of all the costs)

It was real enough (Whether weather be the frost)

To get me through (Or the violence of the dog days)

(Or the violence of the dog days)

(Out on waves, being tossed)

(I'm on waves, out being tossed)

I swear (Is there a line that we could just go cross?)

You were there

And I was catching my breath

Floors of a cabin creaking under my step

And I couldn't be sure

I had a feeling so peculiar

This pain wouldn't be for

Evermore

Evermore

Evermore

This pain wouldn't be for evermore

Evermore

right where you left me lyrics - taylor swift

 Friends break up, friends get married

Strangers get born, strangers get buried

Trends change, rumors fly through new skies

But I'm right where you left me

Matches burn after the other

Pages turn and stick to each other

Wages earned and lessons learned

But I'm right where you left me

Help, I'm still at the restaurant

Still sitting in a corner I haunt

Cross-legged in the dim light

They say, "What a sad sight," I

I swear you could hear a hair pin drop

Right when I felt the moment stop

Glass shattered on the white cloth

Everybody moved on, I, I stayed there

Dust collected on my pinned-up hair

They expected me to find somewhere

Some perspective, but I sat and stared

Right where you left me

You left me no, you left me no

You left me no choice but to stay here forever

You left me, you left me no, you left me no

You left me no choice but to stay here forever

Did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen?

Time went on for everybody else, she won't know it

She's still twenty-three inside her fantasy

How it was supposed to be

Did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion?

Breakups happen every day, you don't have to lose it

She's still twenty-three inside her fantasy

And you're sitting in front of me

At the restaurant when I was still the one you want

Cross-legged in the dim light

Everything was just right, I

I could feel the mascara run

You told me that you met someone

Glass shattered on the white cloth

Everybody moved on

Help, I'm still at the restaurant

Still sitting in a corner I haunt

Cross-legged in the dim light

They say, "What a sad sight," I

I stayed there

Dust collected on my pinned-up hair

I'm sure that you got a wife out there

Kids and Christmas, but I'm unaware

'Cause I'm right where

I cause no harm

Mind my business

If our love died young

I can't bear witness

And it's been so long

But if you ever think you got it wrong

I'm right where

You left me

You left me no, you left me no

You left me no choice but to stay here forever

You left me

You left me no, you left me no

You left me no choice but to stay here forever

it's time to go lyrics - taylor swift

 When the dinner is cold and the chatter gets old

You ask for the tab

Or that moment again he's insisting that friends

Look at each other like that

When the words of a sister come back in whispers

That prove she was not

In fact what she seemed, not a twin from your dreams

She's a crook who was caught

That old familiar body ache

The snaps from the same little breaks in your soul

You know when it's time to go

Twenty years at your job

Then the son of the boss gets the spot that was yours

Or trying to stay for the kids

When keeping it how it is will only break their hearts worse

That old familiar body ache

The snaps from the same little breaks in your soul

You know when it's time to go

Sometimes giving up is the strong thing

Sometimes to run is the brave thing

Sometimes walking out is the one thing

That will find you the right thing

Sometimes giving up is the strong thing

Sometimes to run is the brave thing

Sometimes walking out is the one thing

That will find you the right thing

Fifteen years, fifteen million tears

Begging 'til my knees bled

I gave it my all, he gave me nothing at all

Then wondered why I left

Now he sits on his throne in his palace of bones

Praying to his greed

He's got my past frozen behind glass

But I've got me

That old familiar body ache

The snaps from the same little breaks in my soul

I know when it's time to go

Sometimes giving up is the strong thing

Sometimes to run is the brave thing

Sometimes walking out is the one thing

That will find you the right thing

Sometimes giving up is the strong thing

Sometimes to run is the brave thing

Sometimes walking out is the one thing

That will find you the right thing

That will find you the right thing

And you know in your soul

You know in your soul

When it's time to go

You know, you know, you know, you know

When it's time to go

So then you go

Then you go

You just go

the 1 lyrics - taylor swift

 I'm doing good, I'm on some new shit

Been saying "yes" instead of "no"

I thought I saw you at the bus stop, I didn't though

I hit the ground running each night

I hit the Sunday matinee

You know the greatest films of all time were never made

I guess you never know, never know

And if you wanted me, you really should've showed

And if you never bleed, you're never gonna grow

And it's alright now

But we were something, don't you think so?

Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool

And if my wishes came true

It would've been you

In my defense, I have none

For never leaving well enough alone

But it would've been fun

If you would've been the one

I have this dream you're doing cool shit

Having adventures on your own

You meet some woman on the Internet and take her home

We never painted by the numbers, baby

But we were making it count

You know the greatest loves of all time are over now

I guess you never know, never know

And it's another day, waking up alone

But we were something, don't you think so?

Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool

And if my wishes came true

It would've been you

In my defense, I have none

For never leaving well enough alone

But it would've been fun

If you would've been the one

Hey, yeah-yeah

I persist and resist the temptation to ask you

If one thing had been different

Would everything be different today?

We were something, don't you think so?

Rosé flowing with your chosen family

And it would've been sweet

If it could've been me

In my defense, I have none

For digging up the grave another time

But it would've been fun

If you would've been the one

cardigan lyrics - taylor swift

 Vintage tee, brand new phone

High heels on cobblestones

When you are young, they assume you know nothing

Sequin smile, black lipstick

Sensual politics

When you are young, they assume you know nothing

But I knew you

Dancing in your Levi's

Drunk under a streetlight, I

I knew you

Hand under my sweatshirt

Baby, kiss it better, I

And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed

You put me on and said I was your favorite

A friend to all is a friend to none

Chase two girls, lose the one

When you are young, they assume you know nothing

But I knew you

Playing hide-and-seek and

Giving me your weekends

I, I knew you

Your heartbeat on the High Line

Once in twenty lifetimes, I

And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed

You put me on and said I was your favorite

To kiss in cars and downtown bars

Was all we needed

You drew stars around my scars

But now I'm bleeding

'Cause I knew you

Stepping on the last train

Marked me like a bloodstain, I

I knew you

Tried to change the ending

Peter losing Wendy

I, I knew you

Leaving like a father

Running like water, I

And when you are young, they assume you know nothing

But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss

I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs

The smell of smoke would hang around this long

'Cause I knew everything when I was young

I knew I'd curse you for the longest time

Chasing shadows in the grocery line

I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired

And you'd be standing in my front porch light

And I knew you'd come back to me

You'd come back to me

And you'd come back to me

And you'd come back

And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed

You put me on and said I was your favorite

the last great american dynasty lyrics - taylor swift

 Rebekah rode up on the afternoon train, it was sunny

Her saltbox house on the coast took her mind off St. Louis

Bill was the heir to the Standard Oil name and money

And the town said, "How did a middle-class divorcée do it?"

The wedding was charming, if a little gauche

There's only so far new money goes

They picked out a home and called it "Holiday House"

Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud

The doctor had told him to settle down

It must have been her fault his heart gave out

And they said, "There goes the last great American dynasty

Who knows, if she never showed up what could've been

There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen

She had a marvelous time ruining everything."

Rebekah gave up on the Rhode Island set forever

Flew in all her Bitch Pack friends from the city

Filled the pool with champagne and swam with the big names

And blew through the money on the boys and the ballet

And losing on card game bets with Dalí

And they said, "There goes the last great American dynasty

Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been

There goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seen

She had a marvelous time ruining everything."

They say she was seen on occasion

Pacing the rocks staring out at the midnight sea

And in a feud with her neighbor

She stole his dog and dyed it key lime green

Fifty years is a long time

Holiday House sat quietly on that beach

Free of women with madness

Their men and bad habits, and then it was bought by me

Who knows, if I never showed up what could've been

There goes the loudest woman this town has ever seen

I had a marvelous time ruining everything

I had a marvelous time

Ruining everything

A marvelous time

Ruining everything

A marvelous time

I had a marvelous time

exile lyrics - taylor swift (feat. Bon Iver)

 [Justin Vernon:]

I can see you standin', honey

With his arms around your body

Laughin' but the joke's not funny at all

And it took you five whole minutes

To pack us up and leave me with it

Holdin' all this love out here in the hall

I think I've seen this film before

And I didn't like the ending

You're not my homeland anymore

So what am I defendin' now?

You were my town

Now I'm in exile seein' you out

I think I've seen this film before

Hoo, hoo-ooh

Hoo, hoo-ooh

Hoo, hoo-ooh

[Taylor Swift:]

I can see you starin', honey

Like he's just your understudy

Like you'd get your knuckles bloody for me

Second, third, and hundredth chances

Balancin' on breaking branches

Those eyes add insult to injury

I think I've seen this film before

And I didn't like the ending

I'm not your problem anymore

So who am I offending now?

You were my crown

Now I'm in exile seein' you out

I think I've seen this film before

So I'm leavin' out the side door

[Justin Vernon, Taylor Swift:]

So step right out

There is no amount

Of cryin' I can do for you

All this time

We always walked a very thin line

You didn't even hear me out (You didn't even hear me out)

You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)

All this time

I never learned to read your mind (Never learned to read my mind)

I couldn't turn things around (You never turned things around)

'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)

So many signs

So many signs (You didn't even see the signs)

I think I've seen this film before

And I didn't like the ending

You're not my homeland anymore

So what am I defending now?

You were my town

Now I'm in exile seein' you out

I think I've seen this film before

So I'm leaving out the side door

So step right out

There is no amount

Of cryin' I can do for you

All this time

We always walked a very thin line

You didn't even hear me out (didn't even hear me out)

You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)

All this time

I never learned to read your mind (Never learned to read my mind)

I couldn't turn things around (You never turned things around)

'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)

You never gave a warning sign (All this time)

(So many times) I never learned to read your mind

(So many signs) I couldn't turn things around (I couldn't turn things around)

'Cause you never gave a warning sign (You never gave a warning sign)

You never gave a warning sign

Ah, ah

my tears ricochet lyrics - taylor swift

 We gather here

We line up weeping in a sunlit room

And if I'm on fire

You'll be made of ashes, too

Even on my worst day

Did I deserve, babe

All the hell you gave me?

'Cause I loved you

I swear I loved you

'Til my dying day

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace

And you're the hero flying around saving face

And if I'm dead to you why are you at the wake?

Cursing my name

Wishing I stayed

Look at how my tears ricochet

We gather stones

Never knowing what they'll mean

Some to throw

Some to make a diamond ring

You know I didn't want to

Have to haunt you

But what a ghostly scene

You wear the same jewels

That I gave you

As you bury me

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace

'Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave

And if I'm dead to you why are you at the wake?

Cursing my name

Wishing I stayed

Look at how my tears ricochet

And I can go anywhere I want

Anywhere I want

Just not home

And you can aim for my heart, go for blood

But you would still miss me in your bones

And I still talk to you

When I'm screaming at the sky

And when you can't sleep at night

You hear my stolen lullabies

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace

And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves

You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same

Cursing my name

Wishing I stayed

You turned into your worst fears

And you're tossing out blame

Drunk on this pain

Crossing out the good years

And you're cursing my name

Wishing I stayed

Look at how my tears ricochet

mirrorball lyrics - taylor swift

 I want you to know

I'm a mirrorball

I'll show you every version of yourself tonight

I'll get you out on the floor

Shimmering beautiful

And when I break it's in a million pieces

Hush

When no one is around, my dear

You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes

Spinning in my highest heels, love

Shining just for you

Hush

I know they said the end is near

But I'm still on my tallest tiptoes

Spinning in my highest heels, love

Shining just for you

I want you to know

I'm a mirrorball

I can change everything about me to fit in

You are not like the regulars

The masquerade revelers

Drunk as they watch my shattered edges glisten

Hush

When no one is around, my dear

You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes

Spinning in my highest heels, love

Shining just for you

Hush

I know they said the end is near

But I'm still on my tallest tiptoes

Spinning in my highest heels, love

Shining just for you

And they called off the circus

Burned the disco down

When they sent home the horses

And the rodeo clowns

I'm still on that tightrope

I'm still trying everything to get you laughing at me

I'm still a believer but I don't know why

I've never been a natural

All I do is try, try, try

I'm still on that trapeze

I'm still trying everything

To keep you looking at me

Because I'm a mirrorball

I'm a mirrorball

I'll show you every version of yourself

Tonight

seven lyrics - taylor swift

Please picture me

In the trees

I hit my peak at seven

Feet

In the swing

Over the creek

I was too scared to jump in, but I, I was high

In the sky

With Pennsylvania under me

Are there still beautiful things?

Sweet tea in the summer

Cross your heart, won't tell no other

And though I can't recall your face

I still got love for you

Your braids like a pattern

Love you to the moon and to Saturn

Passed down like folk songs

The love lasts so long

And I've been meaning to tell you

I think your house is haunted

Your dad is always mad and that must be why

And I think you should come live with

Me and we can be pirates

Then you won't have to cry

Or hide in the closet

And just like a folk song

Our love will be passed on

Please picture me

In the weeds

Before I learned civility

I used to scream

Ferociously

Any time I wanted

I, I

Sweet tea in the summer

Cross my heart, won't tell no other

And though I can't recall your face

I still got love for you

Pack your dolls and a sweater

We'll move to India forever

Passed down like folk songs

Our love lasts so long 

august lyrics - taylor swift

 Salt air

And the rust on your door

I never needed anything more

Whispers

Of "Are you sure?"

"Never have I ever before"

But I can see us

Lost in the memory

August slipped away into a moment in time

'Cause it was never mine

And I can see us twisted in bedsheets

August sipped away

Like a bottle of wine

'Cause you were never mine

Your back

Beneath the sun

Wishing I could write my name on it

Will you call when you're back at school?

I remember thinking I had you

But I can see us

Lost in the memory

August slipped away into a moment in time

'Cause it was never mine

And I can see us twisted in bedsheets

August sipped away

Like a bottle of wine

'Cause you were never mine

Back when we were still changing for the better

Wanting was enough

For me, it was enough

To live for the hope of it all

Cancel plans just in case you'd call

And say "Meet me behind the mall"

So much for summer love, and saying "Us"

'Cause you weren't mine to lose

You weren't mine to lose

No

But I can see us

Lost in the memory

August slipped away into a moment in time

'Cause it was never mine

And I can see us twisted in bedsheets

August sipped away

Like a bottle of wine

'Cause you were never mine, mine

'Cause you were never mine

Never mine

But do you remember?

Remember when I pulled up

And said "Get in the car"

And then canceled my plans

Just in case you'd call?

Back when I was living for the hope of it all

For the hope of it all

"Meet me behind the mall"

(Remember when I pulled up)

(And said "Get in the car")

(And then canceled my plans)

(Just in case you'd call?)

(Back when I was living for the hope of it all)

(For the hope of it all)

("Meet me behind the mall")

Remember when I pulled up

And said "Get in the car"

And then canceled my plans

Just in case you'd call?

Back when I was living for the hope of it all

(For the hope of it all)

For the hope of it all

For the hope of it all

For the hope of it all

For the hope of it all

this is me trying lyrics - taylor swift

 I've been having a hard time adjusting

I had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting

I didn't know if you'd care if I came back

I have a lot of regrets about that

Pulled the car off the road to the lookout

Could've followed my fears all the way down

And maybe I don't quite know what to say

But I'm here in your doorway

I just wanted you to know

That this is me trying

I just wanted you to know

That this is me trying

They told me all of my cages were mental

So I got wasted like all my potential

And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad

I have a lot of regrets about that

I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere

Fell behind all my classmates and I ended up here

Pourin' out my heart to a stranger

But I didn't pour the whiskey

I just wanted you to know

That this is me trying

I just wanted you to know

That this is me trying

At least I'm trying

And it's hard to be at a party

When I feel like an open wound

It's hard to be anywhere these days

When all I want is you

You're a flashback in a film reel

On the one screen in my town

And I just wanted you to know

That this is me trying (And maybe I don't quite know what to say)

I just wanted you to know

That this is me trying

At least I'm trying

illicit affairs lyrics - taylor swift

 Make sure nobody sees you leave

Hood over your head

Keep your eyes down

Tell your friends you're out for a run

You'll be flushed when you return

Take the road less traveled by

Tell yourself you can always stop

What started in beautiful rooms

Ends with meetings in parking lots

And that's the thing about illicit affairs

And clandestine meetings

And longing stares

It's born from just one single glance

But it dies and it dies and it dies

...a million little times

Leave the perfume on the shelf

That you picked out just for him

So you leave no trace behind

Like you don't even exist

Take the words for what they are

A dwindling, mercurial high

A drug that only worked

The first few hundred times

And that's the thing about illicit affairs

And clandestine meetings

And stolen stares

They show their truth one single time

But they lie and they lie and they lie

...a million little times

And you wanna scream

Don't call me "kid"

Don't call me "baby"

Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me

You showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else

Don't call me "kid"

Don't call me "baby"

Look at this idiotic fool that you made me

You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else

And you know damn well

For you I would ruin myself

...a million little times

invisible string lyrics - taylor swift

 Green was the color of the grass where I used to read at Centennial Park

I used to think I would meet somebody there

Teal was the color of your shirt when you were 16 at the yogurt shop

You used to work at to make a little money

Time

Curious time

Gave me no compasses

Gave me no signs

Were there clues I didn't see?

And isn't it just so pretty to think

All along there was some

Invisible string

Tying you to me?

Bad was the blood of the song in the cab on your first trip to LA

You ate at my favorite spot for dinner

Bold was the waitress on our three-year trip getting lunch down by the Lakes

She said I looked like an American singer

Time

Mystical time

Cutting me open, then healing me fine

Were there clues I didn't see?

And isn't it just so pretty to think

All along there was some

Invisible string

Tying you to me?

A string that pulled me

Out of all the wrong arms right into that dive bar

Something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire

Chains around my demons

Wool to brave the seasons

One single thread of gold tied me to you

Cold was the steel of my axe to grind for the boys who broke my heart

Now I send their babies presents

Gold was the color of the leaves when I showed you around Centennial Park

Hell was the journey but it brought me heaven

Time

Wondrous time

Gave me the blues and then purple-pink skies

And it's cool

Baby with me

And isn't it just so pretty to think

All along there was some

Invisible string

Tying you to me?

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Me

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

(Ah-ah-ah)

(Ah-ah-ah)
