all i used to do was pray.

we survived the great war.

we were supposed to be just friends.

karma’s gonna track you down.

i don’t dress for men.

‘cause i care.

i feel you, no matter what.

i told you none of it was accidental.

i vowed i would always be yours.

someone told his white-collar crimes to the fbi.

'cause it’s all over.

i’m only cryptic and machiavellian.

we were somewhere else.

you handle it beautifully.

let’s dance.

what’s a girl gonna do?

what could’ve been, would’ve been you.

i lost you.

it turned into something bigger.

that’s a real fucking legacy to leave.

do i really have to chart the constellations in his eyes?

you’ve got no reason to be afraid.

did you leave her house in the middle of the night?

i wake up screaming from dreaming.

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

i can’t let this go.

i prefer hiding in plain sight.

i end up in crisis.

my hand was the one you reached for.

checkmate, i couldn’t lose.

you’re talking shit for the hell of it.

every single one of your friends was making fun of you.

draw the cat eye sharp enough to kill a man.

no one wanted to play with me as a little kid.

you would break your back to make me break a smile.

now that i know, i wish you’d left me wondering.

i hosted parties and starved my body.

i vow i will always be yours.

you said i have to trust more freely.

sadness became my whole sky.

it’s just a question.

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

it’s like snow at the beach.

there were pages turned with the bridges burned.

if i was a child, did it matter?

what if i told you i’m a mastermind?

i think it’s time to teach some lessons.

i see you every day now.

i’m the wind in our free-flowing sails.

the system’s breaking down.

i keep my side of the street clean.

the jokes weren’t funny.

did some force take you bеcause i didn’t pray?

somewhere in the haze, got a sense i’d been betrayed.

do you wish you could still touch her?

i remember.

a diamond’s gotta shine.

it’s me, hi.

i will always be yours.

maybe it was her.

you know there’s many different ways that you can kill the one you love.

some guy said my aura’s moonstone.

you wouldn’t know what i mean.

he was sunshine, i was midnight rain.

i don’t dress for villains.

we were born to be the pawn.

you were on something.

i saw something they can’t take away.

you’re on your own, kid.

i wake with your memory over me.

if clarity’s in death, then why won’t this die?

yeah, all you did was smile.

yeah, you can face this.

by the way, i’m going out tonight.

you were bigger than the whole sky.

i saw flecks of what could’ve been lights.

pierced through the heart, but never killed.

you said i was freeloading.

how’d we end up on the floor, anyway?

turns out, it was that guy you hooked up with ages ago.

lately, i’ve been dressing’ for revenge.

my pennies made your crown.

he never thinks of me.

did you see the photos?“

i feel the lavender haze creeping up on me.

do i really have to tell you how he brought me back to life?

i just wanna stay.

ain’t that the way shit always ends?

time can’t stop me quite like you did.

i think i’ve been too good of a girl.

did all the extra credit, then got graded on a curve.

i really thought i’d lost you.

saw a wide smirk on your face.

life is emotionally abusive.

don’t get sad, get even.

god rest my soul.

i broke his heart 'cause he was nice.

i miss you.

i’m on my vigilante shit again.

you’re a crisis of my faith.

seemed like the right thing at the time.

you might have to wait in line.

i could still say, "i don’t remember”.

you should be doing more.

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

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

i just may like some explanations.

i just may like to have a conversation.

they said the end is coming.

we can plant a memory garden.

one day, i’ll watch as you’re leaving.

best believe i’m still bejeweled.

life will lose all its meaning.

we lost track of time again.

it’s okay, we’re the best of friends.

i’d go back to wanting dudes who give nothing.

i think there’s been a glitch.

i’m not even sorry.

you know how scared i am of elevators.

sometimes i wonder which one’ll be your last lie.

i was taken by the view.

karma’s a relaxing thought.

can i ask you a question?

it’s fine to fake it 'til you make it.

it must be counterfeit.

i’m unglued, thanks to you.

maybe it was egos swinging.

that’s nice, i’m sure that’s what’s suitable.

she’s laughing up at us from hell.

you should find another.

he wanted it comfortable, i wanted that pain.

i can still make the whole place shimmer.

diesel is desire, you were playing with fire.

this is the first time i’ve felt the need to confess.

no one sees when you lose when you’re playing solitaire.

'cause i’m a mastermind.

they’re bringing up my history.

you don’t ever say too much.

now that i’m grown, i’m scared of ghosts.

i could’ve gone on as i was.

putting someone first only works when you’re in their top five.

i’ve never seen someone lit from within.

i don’t dress for friends.

there’s no morning glory, it was war, it wasn’t fair.

i play it cool with the best of them.

sit quiet by my side in the shade.

never trust it if it rises fast.

i touch my phone as if it’s your face.

addicted to betrayal, but you’re relevant.

i chose you.

i never think of him.

this happens all the time.

you got tired of my scheming.

i knew i wanted your body.

but for him, it’s every day.

it might just have been you.

she needed cold, hard proof, so i gave her some.

i fight with you in my sleep.

i don’t remember who i was.

ladies know what people want.

ladies always rise above.

that means you did it right.

you don’t have to answer.

i think i’ve been a little too kind.

i’m so in love that i might stop breathing.

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

everything you lose is a step you take.

maybe it’s the past that’s talking.

get it off your chest.

all the stars aligned.

it can’t last.

we almost forgot it.

it only hurts this much right now.

i’ve got a lot to pine about.

did you hear my covert narcissism i disguise as altruism?

pick somewhere and just run.

i vowed not to fight anymore.

the wound won’t close.

i’ve got a lot to live without.

make sure you don’t miss.

you and i ended up in the same room.

i picked the petals, he loves me not.

meet me at midnight.

ask me what i learned from all those years.

i swear that it was something.

all the outfits were terrible.

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

i’ll be gettin’ over you my whole life.

it’s all over now, all out to sea.

i’d pay if you’d just know me.

no deal.

i waited ages to see you there.

i regret you all the time.

all that you ever wanted from me was nothing.

i made you my world, have you heard?

now you’re mine.

every single thing i touch becomes sick with sadness.

i don’t even dare to wish it.

to you, i can admit that i’m just too soft for all of it.

that was the night i nearly lost you.

i’m the problem, it’s me.

i thought the plane was going down.

every single thing to come has turned into ashes.

so i justified it.

i wrote a poem.

we will never go back.

you tried to erase us.

tonight feels impossible.

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

you wouldn’t take my word for it if you knew who was talking.

he was sunshine, i was midnight rain.

aren’t you envious that for you it’s not?

give me back my girlhood, it was mine first.

i bent the truth too far tonight.

my town was a wasteland.

you were more than just a short time.

you should find another.

she looks so pretty.

he wanted a bride, i was making my own name.

they said the end is coming.

can this be a real thing?

did you wish you’d put up more of a fight?

i took the money.

if you never touched me, i would’ve.

i should not be left to my own devices.

the god’s honest truth is that the pain was heaven.

you knew the entire time.

i find myself running home to your sweet nothings.

i damn sure never would’ve danced with the devil.

never take advice from someone who’s falling apart.

i polish up nice.

you can try to change my mind.

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

you don’t live in my part of town, but maybe i’ll see you out some weekend.

she thinks i left them in the will.

you made me feel important.

i wanna brainwash you.

i’m a monster on the hill.

i’m falling in love again.

i’ll run away.

don’t put mе in the basement.

me and karma vibe like that.

i miss who i used to be.

midnights become my afternoons.

get it off my desk.

picture me, thick as thieves, with your ex-wife.

i keep on waiting for a sign.

i don’t dress for women.

memories feel like weapons.

i’m fastening myself to you with a stitch.

i been under scrutiny.

then what did you do?

we had one thing going on.

my flight was awful, thanks for asking.

i find it dizzying.

all of me changed like midnight.

you weren’t even listening.

what could’ve been, would’ve been.

she was on your mind with some dickhead guy.

everybody just expects me to bounce back.

it’s coming back around.

i’ve been scheming like a criminal ever since.

i spy with my little tired eye..

do you really wanna know where i was april 29th?

i don’t start shit, but i can tell you how it ends.

i thought we had no chance.

ask me what i earned from all those tears.

i hear it in your voice, you’re smoking with your boys.

all this shit is new to me.

you knew that i’m a mastermind.

had to do it this way.

if i’d only played it safe.

romance is not dead if you keep it just yours.

it only feels this raw right now.

nothing was gonna stop me.

was what i was thinking the whole time?

i can’t speak, afraid to jinx it.

they say looks can kill and i might try.

you did some bad things, but i’m the worst of them.

do i really have to chart the constellations in his eyes?

it’s never enough.

but for some, it was paradise.

i didn’t know you were keeping count.

everyone’s up to something.

there’s many different ways that you can kill the one you love.

i vowed not to cry anymore.

what if i told you none of it was accidental?

how the hell did we lose sight of us again?

it was one drink after another.

i would’ve stayed on my knees.

don’t you know that cash ain’t the only price?

big city, wrong choices.

living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts.

The following is a collection of lyric sentence starters from Taylor Swift’s ninth studio album evermore. May contain mature subject matter.

WILLOW

I’m rough on the surface, but you cut through like a knife

If it was an open-shut case I never would have known from the look on your face 

Lost in your current like a priceless wine 

The more that you say, the less I know 

Wherever you stray, I follow 

I’m begging for you to take my hand 

I’m begging for you

I can feel you sneakin’ in 

There was one prize I’d cheat to win 

They count me out time and time again 

Anywhere else is hollow

That’s my man 

I come back stronger than a ‘90s trend 

Wait for the signal, and I’ll meet you after dark 

I’ll meet you after dark 

Show me the places where the others gave you scars 

This is an open-shut case 

I should'a known from the look on your face 

Hey, that’s my man 

Yeah, that’s my man

CHAMPAGNE PROBLEMS

You booked the night train for a reason

Your heart was glass, I dropped it 

You told your family for a reason 

You dropped my hand while dancing, left me out there standing 

Love slipped beyond your reaches and I couldn’t give a reason 

This dorm was once a madhouse

Well, it’s made for me 

Soon they’ll have the nerve to deck the halls that we once walked through 

I never was ready so I watch you go 

She would’ve made such a lovely bride, what a shame she’s fucked in the head

Sometimes you just don’t know the answer til someone’s on their knees and asks you 

You won’t remember all my champagne problems

GOLD RUSH

I don’t like a gold rush

I don’t like that anyone would die to feel your touch 

Everybody wants you 

Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you 

What must it be like to grow up that beautiful? 

I can’t dare to dream about you anymore 

My mind turns your life into folklore 

I won’t call you out on your contrarian shit 

‘TIS THE DAMN SEASON

If I wanted to know who you were hanging with while I was gone, I would have asked you

There’s an ache in you, put there by the ache in me 

But if it’s all the same to you it’s the same to me 

You could call me “babe” for the weekend 

We could call it even 

Remember how you watched me leave

You can run, but only so far 

And the road not taken looks real good now 

Hear me out, we could just ride around 

The road not taken looks real good now and it always leads to you in my hometown 

I won’t ask you to wait if you don’t ask me to stay 

I wonder about the only soul who can tell which smiles I’m fakin' 

The heart I know I’m breakin’ is my own

Even though I’m leavin’ and I’ll be yours for the weekend 

​'Tis the damn season

TOLERATE IT

I notice everything you do or don’t do

You’re so much older and wiser 

If it’s all in my head tell me now 

Tell me I’ve got it wrong somehow 

I know my love should be celebrated but you tolerate it 

I take your indiscretions all in good fun 

I made you my temple, my mural, my sky - now I’m begging for footnotes in the story of your life 

I’m begging for footnotes in the story of your life 

You assume I’m fine, but what would you do if I break free and leave us in ruins?

Believe me, I could do it 

NO BODY, NO CRIME

He did it

Her husband’s actin’ different, and it smells like infidelity 

That ain’t my merlot on his mouth. That ain’t my jewelry on our joint account 

I think I’m gonna call him out 

No, there ain’t no doubt 

I think he did it, but I just can’t prove it 

No body, no crime

I ain’t lettin’ up until the day I die 

Good thing my daddy made me get a boating license when I was fifteen 

I’ve cleaned enough houses to know how to cover up a scene 

She was with me, dude 

They think she did it, but they just can’t prove it 

Good thing his mistress took out a big life insurance policy 

I wasn’t lettin’ up until the day he died 

HAPPINESS

I see this for what it is

All the years I’ve given is just shit we’re dividin’ up 

I can’t face reinvention 

There’ll be happiness after you 

There was happiness because of you 

Haunted by the look in my eyes that would’ve loved you for a lifetime 

Tell me, when did your winning smile begin to look like a smirk? 

I hope she’ll be your beautiful fool, who takes my spot next to you 

No, I didn’t mean that 

Sorry, I can’t see facts through all of my fury

You haven’t met the new me yet 

There’ll be happiness after me

There was happiness because of me 

I can’t make it go away by making you a villain 

I pulled your body into mine every goddamn night, now I get fake niceties 

No one teaches you what to do when a good man hurts you and you know you hurt him, too

All you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness 

After giving you the best I had, tell me what to give after that?

All you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness. You haven’t met the new me yet and I think she’ll give you that

DOROTHEA

Do you ever stop and think about me?

A tiny screen’s the only place I see you now

I got nothing but well-wishes for ya

This place is the same as it ever was but you don’t like it that way 

It’s never too late to come back to my side 

You'rе a queen sellin’ dreams, sellin’ makeup and magazines 

From you I’d buy anything 

But are you still the same soul I met under the bleachers? 

I guess I’ll never know 

If you’re ever tired of being known for who you know, you’ll always know me.

CONEY ISLAND

If I can’t relate to you anymore then who am I related to?

And if this is the long haul how’d we get here so soon? 

Did I close my fist around something delicate?

Did I shatter you? 

Sorry for not making you my centerfold 

What’s a lifetime of achievement if I pushed you to the edge but you were too polite to leave me?

Do you miss the rogue who coaxed you into paradise and left you there?

Will you forgive my soul when you’re too wise to trust me and too old to care? 

We were like the mall before the internet 

Were you waiting at our old spot: in the tree line by the gold clock?

Did I leave you hanging every single day? 

When I got into the accident the sight that flashed before me was your face 

IVY

Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow, tarnished but so grand

I just sit here and wait, grieving for the living 

My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand 

My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand taking mine, but it’s been promised to another 

Stop you putting roots in my dreamland 

I wish to know the fatal flaw that makes you long to be magnificently cursed 

Your opal eyes are all I wish to see 

I’d live and die for moments that we stole 

What would he do if he found us out? 

Dare to sit and watch what we’ll become 

It’s a goddamn blaze in the dark and you started it 

It’s the goddamn fight of my life and you started it

COWBOY LIKE ME

Dancin’ is a dangerous game

I’m never gonna love again 

I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve 

Takes one to know one 

Never wanted love, just a fancy car 

You’re a cowboy like me 

I’m telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear 

You’re a bandit like me 

Never thought I’d meet you here 

We could be the way forward and I know I’ll pay for it 

The skeletons in both our closets plotted hard to fuck this up

The old men that I’ve swindled really did believe I was the one 

Now you hang from my lips like the Gardens of Babylon 

Forever is the sweetest con

LONG STORY SHORT

I tried to pick my battles ‘til the battle picked me

I was in the alley, surrounded on all sides 

Long story short, it was a bad time 

If the shoe fits, walk in it ‘til your high heels break 

I clung to the nearest lips and long story short, it was the wrong guy 

Now I’m all about you 

Actually, I always felt I must look better in the rear view - missing me.

If someone comes at us, this time, I’m ready 

No more keepin’ score, now I just keep you warm 

Past me, I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things 

Your nemeses will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing 

He feels like home 

Long story short, I survived

MARJORIE

Never be so kind you forget to be clever

Never be so clever you forget to be kind

If I didn’t know better I’d think you were talking to me now

If I didn’t know better I’d think you were still around 

You’re alive in my head 

What died didn’t stay dead 

You’re alive, so alive 

Never be so polite you forget your power

Nevеr wield such power you forget to be polite 

I should’ve asked you questions 

Should’ve kept every grocery store receipt cause every scrap of you would be taken from me 

I know better but you’re still around 

I still feel you all around

CLOSURE

It’s been a long time and seeing the shape of your name still spells out pain

Yes, I’m doing better

I don’t need your closure 

Yes, I got your letter 

Don’t treat me like some situation that needs to be handled 

I’m fine with my spite and my tears, and my beers and my candles 

I know I’m just a wrinkle in your new life 

Staying friends would iron it out so nice 

EVERMORE

Gray November, I’ve been down since July

I replay my footsteps on each stepping stone trying to find the one where I went wrong 

I couldn’t be sure

I had a feeling so peculiar that this pain would be for evermore 

Guess I’m feeling unmoored 

Can’t remember what I used to fight for 

Can’t not think of all the cost and the things that will be lost 

To be certain, we’ll be tall again 

Is there a line that I could just go cross? 

And when I was shipwrecked I thought of you 

It was real enough to get me through 

I dreamed of you 

I swear you were there
