taylor swift * folklore starters
iām doing good, iām on some new shit
and if you wanted me, you really shouldāve showed
but we were something, donāt you think so?
and if my wishes came true, it wouldāve been you
in my defence, i have none
but it wouldāve been fun if you wouldāve been the one
if one thing had been different, would everything be different today
when you are young they assume you know nothing
you put me on and said i was your favourite
a friend to all is a friend to none
chase two girls, lose the one
you drew stars around my scars
tried to change the ending
i knew youād haunt all of my what-ifs
cause i knew everything when i was young
and i knew youād come back to me
THE LAST GREAT AMERICAN DYNASTY
how did a middle class divorcƩe do it?
thereās only so far new money goes
their parties were tasteful, if a little loud
there goes the last great american dynasty
who knows, if she never showed up what couldāve been
she had a marvellousĀ time ruining everything
there goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seen
she stole his dog and dyed it key lime green
i had a marvellous time ruining everything
i can see you standinā honey
and it took you five whole minutes to pack us up and leave me with it
i think iāve seen this film before
youāre not my homeland anymore
now iām in exile seeinā you out
i can see you starinā honey
like youād get your knuckles bloody for me
those eyes add insult to injury
iām not your problem anymore
so who am i offending now?
we always walked a very thin line
you didnāt even hear me out
i never learned to read your mind
even on my worst day, did i deserve babe, all the hell you gave me?
i didnāt have it in myself to go with grace
and if iām dead to you, why are you at the wake?
you know i didnāt want to have to haunt you
cause when iād fight, you used to tell me i was brave
and i can go anywhere i want, just not home
you had to kill me, but it killed you just the same
you turned into your worst fears
and when i break, itās in a million pieces
youāll find me on my tallest tiptoes spinning in my highest heels
i know they said the end is near
i can change everything about me to fit in
iām still trying everything to get you laughing at me
iām still a believer but i donāt know why
please picture me in the trees
i was too scared to jump in
are there still beautiful things?
cross your heart, wonāt tell no other
and thought i canāt recall your face, i still got love for you
love you to the moon and to saturn
and iāve been meaning to tell you
i think your house is haunted
i used to scream ferociously
i never needed anything more
and i can see us twisted in bedsheets
cause you were never mine
i remember thinking i had you
so much for summer love, and saying āusā
cause you werenāt mine to lose
iāve been having a hard time adjusting
i didnāt know if youād care if i came back
i have a lot of regrets about that
and maybe i donāt quite know what to say
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
i was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere
but i didnāt pour the whiskey
itās hard to be anywhere these days
make sure nobody sees you leave
tell your friends youāre out for a run
take the road less travelled by
and thatās the thing about illicit affairs
like you donāt even exist
but they lie, and they lie, and they lie, a million little times
look at this godforsaken mess that you made me
for you, i would ruin myself
i used to think i would meet somebody there
were there clues i didnāt see?
all along, there was some invisible string tying you to me
you ate at my favourite spot for dinner
something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire
one single thread of gold tied me to you
hell was the journey but it brought me heaven
what did you think iād say to that?
what do you sing on your drive home?
every time you call me crazy, i get more crazy
and when you say i seem angry, i get more angry
what a shame, she went mad
itās obvious that wanting me dead has really brought you two together
cause you took everything from me
the master of spin has a couple side flings
___, i think heās bleedinā out
something med school did not cover
doc, i think sheās crashinā out
and some things you just canāt speak about
to make some sense of what youāve seen
but i think itās cause of me
itās like i couldnāt breathe
you canāt believe a word she says
the worst thing that i ever did was what i did to you
would you tell me to go straight to hell?
iām only seventeen, i donāt know anything
i dreamt of you all summer long
the only thing i wanna do is make it up to you
i never had the courage of my convictions
as long as danger is near
but i would die for you in secret
the devilās in the details
but you got a friend in me
your integrity makes me seem small
and you know that iād swing with you for the fences
and you know that iād sit with you in the trenches
and you know that iād give you my wild
and you know that iād give you my child
all these people think loveās for show
would it be enough if i could never give you peace?
stood on the cliffside screaming āgive me a reasonā
your faithless loveās the only hoax i believe in
donāt want no other shade of blue but you
you know i left a part of me back in new york
you knew the hero died, so whatās the movie for
you knew it still hurts underneath my scares
you knew you won, so whatās the point of keeping score?
darling, this was just as hard
no other sadness in the world would do
