I've been the prey.
Who could ever leave me, darling,
But who could stay?”
This is the worthwhile fight
Love is a ruthless game
Unless you play it good and right”
Jacket 'round my shoulders is yours
We bless the rains on Cornelia Street
Memorize the creaks in the floor”
But it was something I just fell into.
And it was overrated, but just look what I created!”
I'm feeling helpless, the damsels are depressed
Boys will be boys then, where are the wise men?
Darling, I'm scared.”
Who should be rudely bargin' in on a white veil occasion.
But you are not the kind of boy
Who should be marrying the wrong girl.”
My reputation's never been worse, so
You must like me for me.
We can't make any promises Now can we, babe.
But you can make me a drink.”
But all we want is danger.
We team up,
Then switch sides like a record changer.
The rumors are terrible and cruel,
But honey, most of them are true.”
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.”
You spin me around.
You make me crazier, crazier.
Feels like I'm fallin' and I
Am lost in your eyes.
You make me crazier, crazier, crazier.”
Hi
I'm the problem, it's me
At teatime
Everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero”
People throw rocks at things that shine,
And life makes love look hard.
The stakes are high,
The water's rough,
But this love is ours.”
Missing him was dark grey all alone.
Forgetting him was like trying to know
Somebody you've never met.
But loving him was red;
Loving him was red.”
You put your arm around me for the first time.
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter.
You are the best thing that's ever been mine.”
I wonder if you know.
I'm tryin' so hard
Not to get caught up now.
But you're just so cool.
Run your hands through your hair,
Absent mindedly makin' me want you.”
And this is our place, we make the rules.
And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you dear.
Have I known you twenty seconds or twenty years?”
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you.
I was screaming, "Long live all the magic we made,"
And bring on all the pretenders.
One day we will be remembered.”
Getting swept away.
I hear the sound of my own voice
Asking you to stay.
And all we are is skin and bone trained to get along,
Forever going with the flow but you friction.”
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine”
Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man.
And I'm so sick of them coming at me again,
'Cause if I was a man,
Then I'd be the man.
I'd be the man.
I'd be the man.”
I could show you incredible things.
Magic, madness, heaven, sin.
Saw you there and I thought.
Oh my God, look at that face.
You look like my next mistake.
Love's a game, wanna play?.”
You never let me drive.
You're a redneck heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying.
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time.
As far as I'm concerned you're
Just another picture to burn.”
Dancin' in your Levi's
Drunk under a streetlight, I
I knew you
Hand under my sweatshirt
Baby, kiss it better, I
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Under someone's bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite”
And your eyes look like coming home.
All I know is a simple name, everything has changed.
All I know is we held the door,
You'll be mine and I'll be yours.
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed.”
It all seems so simple.
We were lying on your couch.
I remember.
You took a Polaroid of us.
Then discovered (then discovered)
The rest of the world was black and white.
But we were in screaming color.
And I remember thinking…”
Will change.
We can see it now.
These walls
That they put up,
To hold us back
Will fall down.
It's a revolution,
It's how we'll become.
Who we're
Supposed to be.
We'll sing hallelujah;
We'll sing hallelujah.
Oh.”
Passed me a note saying, "Meet me tonight"
Then we kiss, and you know I won't ever tell, yeah
And I could see you being my addiction
You can see me as a secret mission
Hide away and I will start behaving myself
”
And we're not speaking.
And I'm dyin' to know:
Is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
Yeah.
I don't know what to say since a twist of fate, when it all broke down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now.”
And somebody tells you they love you,
you're gonna believe them.
And when you're fifteen,
Feeling like there's nothing to figure out,
Well count to ten, take it in.
This is life before you know
Who you're gonna be,
You're fifteen.”
Close enough to touch,
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of.
Drop everything now,
Meet me in the pouring rain.
Kiss me on the sidewalk,
Take away the pain.
'Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile.”
The less I know
Wherever you stray
I follow
Begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans
That's my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
Begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans
That's my man”
and I will get you, get you alone
Your name has echoed through my mind
And I just think you should, think you should know
That nothing safe is worth the drive
And I will follow you follow you home
I'll follow you follow you home”
This ain't a fairytale.
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell.
This ain't Hollywood,
This is a small town.
I was a dreamer before
You went and let me down.
Now it's too late for you and your white horse
To come around.”
Like a little kid.
I think it's strange that you think I’m funny cause
He never did.
I've been spending the last 8 months
Thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end.
But on a Wednesday in a cafe,
I watched it begin again.”
I might believe you if I didn't know.
Could'a loved you all my life,
If you hadn't left me waiting in the cold.
And you got your share of secrets,
And I'm tired of being last to know.
And now you're asking me to listen
'Cause it's worked each time before.”
Would you have me?
Would you want me?
Would you tell me to go fuck myself?
Or lead me to the garden?
In the garden would you trust me,
If I told you it was just a summer thing?
I'm only 17, I don't know anything,
But I know I miss you”
I wasn't that little girl you used to see.
But your eyes still shined like pretty lights,
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us.
They never believed we'd really fall in love.
And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes
And said oh my my my...”
And then you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all.
And you flash back to when he said forever and always.
Oh, and it rains in your bedroom,
Everything is wrong.
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone.
'Cause I was there when you said forever and always.”
Standing in front of you
Saying I'm sorry for that night.
And I go back to December all the time.
Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine.
I go back to December, turn around and make it all right.
I go back to December all the time.”
I hope you think my favorite song.
The one we danced to all night long:
The moon like a spotlight on the lake.
When you think happiness,
I hope you think: "That little black dress."
Think of my head on your chest,
An' my old faded blue jeans.
When you think Tim McGraw,
I hope you think of me.”
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers,
Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're lookin' for has been here the whole time.
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you,
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me;
You belong with me.”
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window.
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
'Cause it's late and your mama don't know.
Our song is the way you laugh,
The first date "man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have."
And when I got home, before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again.”
And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh)
Said, "I'm fine, " but it wasn't true
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
And I snuck in through the garden gate
Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh)
And I screamed for whatever it's worth
''''I love you', ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?'''”
You should've thought twice before you let it all go.
You should've known that word 'bout what you did with her
Would get back to me...
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind.
I shouldn't be asking myself why.
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet...
You should've said no, baby and you might still have me.”
I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it.
After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own,
Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone.
But you keep my old scarf from that very first week,
'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me.
You can't get rid of it 'cause you remember it all too well, yeah.”
This was the very first page
Not where the story line ends
My thoughts will echo your name
Until I see you again
These are the words I held back
As I was leaving too soon
I was enchanted to meet you
Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you
Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you”
I had it all, I had him right there where I wanted him
She came along, got him alone and let's hear the applause
She took him faster than you could say "sabotage"
I never saw it coming, wouldn't have suspected it
I underestimated just who I was dealing with
She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum
She underestimated just who she was stealing from”
It's like I got this music in my body and it's gonna be alright.
'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake,
I shake it off, I shake it off.
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake.
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake,
I shake it off, I shake it off.”
And I got that red lip, classic thing that you like.
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time,
'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style.
You've got that long hair slick back, white t-shirt
And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt.
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time.
'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style”
Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.
I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for*amalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate*imwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.
I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story.
With love and hope,
Taylor Swift
