‘Taylor Swift’
Picture To Burn: So watch me strike a match on all my wasted time

Tell Me Why: I take a step back and let you go, I told you I’m not bullet-proof, now you know
'Speak Now’
Dear John: But I took your matches before fire could catch me so don’t look now
Mean: You, with your words like knives and swords and weapons that you use against me

State Of Grace: You come around and the armor falls, pierce the room like a cannonball
Better Man: You push my love away like it’s some kind of loaded gun
Babe: I break down every time you call, we’re a wreck, you’re the wrecking ball
Forever Winter: I’d take that bomb in your head and disarm it

End Game: And I bury hatchets but I keep maps of where I put 'em

Look What You Made Me Do: You said the gun was mine, isn’t cool, no I don’t like you
Getaway Car: It was the best of times, the worst of crimes, I struck a match and blew your mind
Getaway Car: He poisoned the well, I was lying to myself
Getaway Car: We never had a shotgun shot in the dark
Getaway Car: He poisoned the well, every man for himself
Getaway Car: It hit you like a shotgun shot to the heart
This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things: And so I took an axe to a mended fence
Call It What You Want: My castle crumbled overnight, I brought a knife to a gunfight
'Lover’
Cruel Summer: So cut the headlights, summer’s a knife
You Need To Calm Down: And snakes and stones never broke my bones
You Need To Calm Down: But you’re coming at my friends like a missile
Daylight: Threw out our cloaks and our daggers because it’s morning now, it’s brighter now, now
'folklore’
My Tears Ricochet: We gather stones, never knowing what they’ll mean, some to throw, some to make a diamond ring
Invisible String: Cold was the steel of my axe to grind for the boys who broke my heart
Mad Woman: And you’ll poke that bear ‘til her claws come out and you’ll find something to wrap your noose around
Mad Woman: My cannons all firing at your yacht
Epiphany: Just a flesh wound, here’s your rifle
Hoax: My only one, my smoking gun, my eclipsed sun
Hoax: My twisted knife, my sleepless night, my winless fight
'evermore’
Willow: Rough on the surface but you cut through like a knife
Tolerate It: Took this dagger in me and removed it
Happiness: When did all our lessons start to look like weapons pointed at my deepest hurt?
Long Story Short: The knife cuts both ways
Long Story Short: When I dropped my sword, I threw it in the bushes and knocked on your door
Right Where You Left Me: Matches burn after the other
Other Songs written by Taylor
Eyes Open: In backyards, winning battles with our wooden swords
I Don’t Wanna Live Forever: Wondering if I dodged a bullet or just lost the love of my life
Renegade: You fire off missiles ‘cause you hate yourself
