I tried to pick my battles 'til the battle picked me
Like the war of words I shouted in my sleep
I was in the alley, surrounded on all sides
(Parallels to Delicate!!!
My castle crumbled overnight/I brought a knife to a gunfight/They took the crown but it's alright/All the liars are calling me one/nobody’s heard from me for months)
And I fell from the pedestal (rep era!!)
Right down the rabbit hole (wonderland parallels!)
Long story short, it was a bad time
Pushed from the precipice (kimye)
Clung to the nearest lips (Tom Hiddleston!)
Long story short, it was the wrong guy
I always felt I must look better in the rear view (getaway car!)
At the golden gates they once held the keys to (LWYMMD! I don't like your kingdom keys/they once belonged to me/You ask me for a place to sleep/Locked me out and threw a feast)
When I dropped my sword (referencing long live/ when her reputation tanked)
I threw it in the bushes and knocked on your door (stopped caring about everyone’s opinion and let her guard down)
But if someone comes at us, this time, I'm ready (bc I could never give you peace)
No more keepin' score ( So it goes: You did a number on me/ but honestly baby, who's counting?/I did a number on you/But, honestly, baby, who's counting)
And my waves meet your shore
(Calls back to peace! But I'm a fire and I'll keep your brittle heart warm/If your cascade ocean wave blues come) (*also calls back to CIWYW He built a fire just to keep me warm*)
