part one of prompts pulled from taylor swift’s newest album, midnights. a few prompts might have been split up to make more sense in a rp sense, but most remain unchanged. enjoy <3

𝐋𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐇𝐀𝐙𝐄

meet me at midnight.

you don’t ever say too much.

you don’t really read into my melancholia.

i’ve been under scrutiny.

you handle it beautifully.

all this shit is new to me.

i’m damned if i do give a damn what people say.

all they keep asking me is if i’m gonna be your bride.

the only kinda girl they see is a one-night or a wife.

they’re bringing up my history, but you weren’t even listening.

you weren’t even listening.

talk your talk and go viral.

i just need this love spiral

get it off your chest

get it off my desk.

𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐍

we lost track of time again

how’d we end up on the floor, anyway?

i see you every day now.

how the hell did we lose sight of us again?

ain’t that the way shit always ends?

i lost you.

that’s a real fucking legacy to leave.

𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐈-𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐎

i have this thing where i get older, but just never wiser.

my depression works the graveyard shift.

i should not be left to my own devices.

i end up in crisis.

i wake up screaming from dreaming.

it’s me… hi.

i’m the problem, it’s me.

i’ll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror.

it must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero.

did you hear my covert narcissism i disguise as altruism?

one day i’ll watch as you’re leaving, and life will lose all its meaning.

i have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money.

she thinks i left them in the will.

𝐒𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇

life is emotionally abusive.

time can’t stop me quite like you did.

my flight was awful, thanks for asking.

i’m unglued, thanks to you.

it’s like snow at the beach: weird, but fuckin’ beautiful.

you wanting me tonight feels impossible.

this scene feels like what i once saw on a screen.

i’ve never seen someone lit from within.

to hide that would be so dishonest.

it’s fine to fake it till you make it.

i don’t even dare to wish it

can this be a real thing? can it?

𝐘𝐎𝐔'𝐑𝐄 𝐎𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐎𝐖𝐍, 𝐊𝐈𝐃

i play it cool with the best of them.

he’s gonna notice me.

it’s okay, we’re the best of friends.

i didn’t choose this town. i dream of getting out.

there’s just one who could make me stay.

i waited ages to see you there.

i picked the petals… he loves me not.

i play my songs in the parking lot.

i’ll run away.

i gave my blood, sweat, and tears for this.

the jokes weren’t funny.

i took the money

my friends from home don’t know what to say.

everything you lose is a step you take.

you’ve got no reason to be afraid.

you’re on your own, kid. you always have been.

you’re on your own.
