this is me trying; a collection of taylor swift songs for ptmc's prodigal son.
one: fortnight (feat. post malone)
i was supposed to be sent away
but they forgot to come and get me
two: anti-hero
i'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
it must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
three: the lucky one
and they tell you that you're lucky, but you're so confused
'cause you don't feel pretty, you just feel used
and all the young things line up to take your place
another name goes up in lights
you wonder if you'll make it out alive
four: the outside
and i can still see you, this ain't the best view
on the outside looking in
i've been a lot of lonely places
i've never been on the outside
five: the archer
can you see right through me?
they see right through
they see right through me
i see right through me
six: cancelled!
it's easy to love you when you're popular
the optics click, everyone prospers
but one single drop, you're off the roster
seven: nothing new (feat. phoebe bridgers)
are we only biding time 'til i lose your attention?
and someone else lights up the room
people love an ingénue
eight: the prophecy
and it was written
i got cursed like eve got bitten
oh, was it punishment?
nine: high infidelity
put on your records and regret meeting me
i bent the truth too far tonight
i was dancing around, dancing around it
ten: innocent
wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything
and everybody believed in you?
eleven: this is me trying
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
twelve: who's afraid of little old me?
i was tame, i was gentle 'til the circus life made me mean
"don't you worry, folks, we took out all her teeth."
thirteen: dear reader
never take advice from someone who's falling apart
never take advice from someone who's falling apart
(you should find another)
fourteen: you all over me
so i lied, and i cried
and i watched a part of myself die
'cause no amount of freedom gets you clean
fifteen: clara bow
take the glory, give everything
promise to be dazzling
sixteen: peace
i'd give you my sunshine, give you my best
but the rain is always gonna come if you're standing with me
seventeen: you're on your own, kid
from sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes
i gave my blood, sweat and tears for this
eighteen: fresh out the slammer
and no matter what i've done, it wouldn't matter anyway
ain't no way i'm gonna screw up now that i know what's at stake here
nineteen: cowboy like me
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
twenty: the alchemy
what if i told you i'm back?
the hospital was a drag, worst sleep that i ever had
i circled you on a map
i haven't come around in so long, but i'm coming back so strong
twenty-one: long story short
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
twenty-two: clean
ten months older, i won't give in
now that i'm clean, i'm never gonna risk it
