favourite taylor’s poetic lyrics

take me back to the house and the backyard tree, say you’d beat me up, you were bigger than me, you never did

but nothing seems to work the first few times am i right?

i’m not a princess, this ain’t a fairytale

in your life you’ll do things greater than dating the boy from the football team

you told me you loved me, so why did you go away?

you can see me as a secret mission

if i first saw your face in the 1500s up in a foreign land, and if i was forced to marry another man

i miss your tan skin your sweet smile, so good to me, so right

when they point to the pictures, please tell em my name

you’re not gone, you can’t be gone, come on come on don’t leave me like this, won’t finish what you started

speak now or forever hold your peace

i’ll be summer sun for you, forever winter if you go

i’m shining like fireworks over your sad empty town

but i just miss you and i just wish you were a better man

how can a person know everything at 18, but nothing in her 22? will you still want me, when i’m nothing new

and did the twin flame bruise paint you blue? just between us did the love affair maim you too?

i think about jumping, off a very tall something, just to see you come running, and say the one thing i’ve been wanting but no

guess maybe i’m better off, now that we don’t talk

i said “i love you” you said nothing back

the water fills my lungs i screamed so loud but no one heard a thing

you can hear it in the silence, you can feel it on the way home, you can see it with the lights out, you are in love

you just have to step into the daylight and let it go

i wanna teach you how forever feels

we’d still worship this love, even if it’s a false god

why i have to break what i love so much?

the room is on fire, invisible smoke, and all of my heroes died all alone

i’m in a getaway car, left you in a motel bar, put the money in a bag and i stole the keys, that was the last time you ever saw me

please i’ve been on my knees, change the prophecy

even in my worst lies you saw the truth in me

please, don’t ever become i stranger who’s laugh i could recognise anywhere

now and then i re-reads the manuscript, but the story isn’t mine anymore

blood’s thick but nothing like a payroll, bet they never spared a prayer for my soul

my beloved ghost and me, sitting in a tree, d-y-i-n-g

old habits die screaming

and you deserve prison cause you won’t get in time

love’s never lost when perspective is earned

you’re persona non grata

you said some things that i can’t unabsorb, you turned me into an idea of sorts

you needed me but you needed drugs more

i wouldn’t marry me either, a pathological people pleaser

and you say i abandoned the ship, but i was going down with it

i’m only cryptic and machiavellian because i care

you’re on your own kid, yeah you can face this

living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts

give me back my girlhood, it was mine first

my mind turns your life, into folklore

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

i would die for you in secret

forever is the sweetest con

look at this idiotic fool that you made me

stood on the cliffside screaming “give me a reason”
