The following is a collection of lyric sentence starters from Taylor Swiftās ninth studio album evermore. May contain mature subject matter.
Iām 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 faceĀ
Lost in your current like a priceless wineĀ
The more that you say, the less I knowĀ
Wherever you stray, I followĀ
Iām begging for you to take my handĀ
I can feel you sneakinā inĀ
There was one prize Iād cheat to winĀ
They count me out time and time againĀ
I come back stronger than a ā90s trendĀ
Wait for the signal, and Iāll meet you after darkĀ
Iāll meet you after darkĀ
Show me the places where the others gave you scarsĀ
This is an open-shut caseĀ
I should'a known from the look on your faceĀ
You booked the night train for a reason
Your heart was glass, I dropped itĀ
You told your family for a reasonĀ
You dropped my hand while dancing, left meāoutāthereāstandingĀ
Love slipped beyond your reaches and I couldnāt give a reasonĀ
This dorm was once a madhouse
Well, itās made for meĀ
Soon theyāll have the nerve to deck the halls that we once walked throughĀ
I never was ready so I watch you goĀ
She wouldāve made such a lovely bride, what a shame sheās fucked in the head
Sometimes you just donāt know the answer til someoneās on their knees and asks youĀ
You wonāt remember all my champagne problems
I donāt like a gold rush
I donāt like that anyone would die to feel your touchĀ
Everybody wonders what it would be like to love youĀ
What must it be like to grow up that beautiful?Ā
I canāt dare to dream about you anymoreĀ
My mind turns your life into folkloreĀ
I wonāt call you out on your contrarian shitĀ
If I wanted to know who you were hanging with while I was gone, I would have asked you
Thereās an ache in you, put there by the ache in meĀ
But if itās all the same to you itās the same to meĀ
You could call me ābabeā for the weekendĀ
Remember how you watched me leave
You can run, but only so farĀ
And the road not taken looks real good nowĀ
Hear me out, we could just ride aroundĀ
The road not taken looks real good now and it always leads to you in my hometownĀ
I wonāt ask you to wait if you donāt ask me to stayĀ
I wonder about the only soul who can tell which smiles Iām fakin'Ā
The heart I know Iām breakinā is my own
Even though Iām leavinā and Iāll be yours for the weekendĀ
I notice everything you do or donāt do
Youāre so much older and wiserĀ
If itās all in my head tell me nowĀ
Tell me Iāve got it wrong somehowĀ
I know my love should be celebrated but you tolerate itĀ
I take your indiscretions all in good funĀ
I made you my temple, my mural, my sky - now Iām begging for footnotes in the story of your lifeĀ
Iām begging for footnotes in the story of your lifeĀ
You assume Iām fine, but what would you do if I break free and leave us in ruins?
Believe me, I could do itĀ
Her husbandās actinā different, and it smells like infidelityĀ
That aināt my merlot on his mouth. That aināt my jewelry on our joint accountĀ
I think Iām gonna call him outĀ
No, there aināt no doubtĀ
I think he did it, but I just canāt prove itĀ
I aināt lettinā up until the day I dieĀ
Good thing my daddy made me get a boating license when I was fifteenĀ
Iāve cleaned enough houses to know how to cover up a sceneĀ
They think she did it, but they just canāt prove itĀ
Good thing his mistress took out a big life insurance policyĀ
I wasnāt lettinā up until the day he diedĀ
I see this for what it is
Allā
the years Iāve given is just shitā
weāre dividinā upĀ
I canāt face reinventionĀ
Thereāll be happiness after youĀ
There was happiness because of youĀ
Haunted by the look in my eyes that wouldāve loved you for a lifetimeĀ
Tell me, when did your winning smile begin to look like a smirk?Ā
I hope sheāll be your beautiful fool, who takes my spot next to youĀ
No, I didnāt mean thatĀ
Sorry, I canāt see facts through all of my fury
You havenāt met the new me yetĀ
Thereāll be happiness after me
There was happiness because of meĀ
I canāt make it go away by making you a villainĀ
I pulled your body into mine every goddamn night, now I get fake nicetiesĀ
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 forgivenessĀ
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 havenāt met the new me yet and I think sheāll give you that
Do you ever stop and think about me?
A tiny screenās 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 donāt like it that wayĀ
Itās never too late to come back to my sideĀ
You'rе a queen sellinā dreams, sellinā makeup and magazinesĀ
From you Iād buy anythingĀ
But are you still the same soul I met under the bleachers?Ā
I guess Iāll never knowĀ
If youāre ever tired of being known for who you know, youāll always know me.
If I canāt relate to you anymore then who am I related to?
And if this is the long haul howād we get here so soon?Ā
Did I close my fist around something delicate?
Sorry for not making you my centerfoldĀ
Whatās 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 youāre too wise to trust me and too old to care?Ā
We were like the mall before the internetĀ
Were you waiting at our old spot: in the tree line by the gold clock?
Did I leave you hanging every single day?Ā
When I got into the accident the sight that flashed before me was your faceĀ
Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow, tarnished but so grand
I just sit here and wait, grieving for the livingĀ
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing handĀ
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand taking mine, but itās been promised to anotherĀ
Stop you putting roots in my dreamlandĀ
I wish to know the fatal flaw that makes you long to be magnificently cursedĀ
Your opal eyes are all I wish to seeĀ
Iād live and die for moments that we stoleĀ
What would he do if he found us out?Ā
Dare to sit and watch what weāll becomeĀ
Itās a goddamn blaze in the dark and you started itĀ
Itās the goddamn fight of my life and you started it
Dancinā is a dangerous game
Iām never gonna love againĀ
Iāve got some tricks up my sleeveĀ
Never wanted love, just a fancy carĀ
Youāre a cowboy like meĀ
Iām telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hearĀ
Youāre a bandit like meĀ
Never thought Iād meet you hereĀ
We could be the way forward and I know Iāll pay for itĀ
The skeletons in both our closets plotted hard to fuck this up
The old men that Iāve swindled really did believe I was the oneĀ
Now you hang from my lips like the Gardens of BabylonĀ
Forever is the sweetest con
I tried to pick my battles ātil the battle picked me
I was in the alley, surrounded on all sidesĀ
Long story short, it was a bad timeĀ
If the shoe fits, walk in it ātil your high heels breakĀ
I clung to the nearest lips and long story short, it was the wrong guyĀ
Actually, I always felt I must look better in the rear view - missing me.
If someone comes at us, this time, Iām readyĀ
No more keepinā score, now I just keep you warmĀ
Past me, I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty thingsĀ
Your nemeses will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swingĀ
Long story short, I survived
Never be so kind you forget to be clever
Never be so clever you forget to be kind
If I didnāt know better Iād think you were talking to me now
If I didnāt know better Iād think you were still aroundĀ
Youāre alive in my headĀ
What died didnāt stay deadĀ
Youāre alive, so aliveĀ
Never be so polite you forget your power
Nevеr wield such power you forget to be politeĀ
I shouldāve asked you questionsĀ
Shouldāve kept every grocery store receipt cause every scrap of you would be taken from meĀ
I know better but youāre still aroundĀ
I still feel you all around
Itās been a long time and seeing the shape of your name still spells out pain
I donāt need your closureĀ
Donāt treat me like some situation that needs to be handledĀ
Iām fine with my spite and my tears, and my beers and my candlesĀ
I know Iām just a wrinkle in your new lifeĀ
Staying friends would iron it out so niceĀ
Gray November, Iāve been down since July
I replay my footsteps on each stepping stone trying to find the one where I went wrongĀ
I had a feeling so peculiar that this pain would be for evermoreĀ
Guess Iām feeling unmooredĀ
Canāt remember what I used to fight forĀ
Canāt not think of all the cost and the things that will be lostĀ
To be certain, weāll be tall againĀ
Is there a line that I could just go cross?Ā
And when I was shipwrecked I thought of youĀ
It was real enough to get me throughĀ
I had a feeling so peculiar, this pain wouldnāt be for evermore
