Taylor Swift Lyrics

We gather here
We come together in this place

We line up weeping in a sunlit room
We stand in a bright room with tears in our eyes

And if I'm on fire
If I am hurting or suffering

You'll be made of ashes, too
You will also feel the pain

Even on my worst day
Even when I am at my lowest

Did I deserve, babe
Did I deserve all the hurt you caused me

All the hell you gave me?
All the pain and suffering you inflicted on me?

'Cause I loved you
Because I loved you deeply

I swear I loved you
I really did love you

'Til my dying day
Until the day I die

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
I couldn't handle the pain with poise and elegance

And you're the hero flying around saving face
You're the one trying to look good and come out on top

And if I'm dead to you why are you at the wake?
If you don't care about me anymore, why are you here mourning me?

Cursing my name
Blaming and hating me

Wishing I stayed
Regretting that I left

Look at how my tears ricochet
See how my sadness affects others and comes back to me

We gather stones
We collect things without knowing their eventual significance

Never knowing what they'll mean
Not having a clue what their value will be

Some to throw
Some to use as weapons

Some to make a diamond ring
Some to turn into something beautiful and valuable

You know I didn't want to
You know I didn't want to haunt you

Have to haunt you
Have to make you feel guilty and remorseful

But what a ghostly scene
But how haunting and disturbing it is to see me everywhere

You wear the same jewels
You have kept and wear the same gifts I gave you

That I gave you
That I gave to you with love

As you bury me
As you say goodbye to me forever

And I can go anywhere I want
I am free to do and be whatever I want

Anywhere I want
Anywhere in the world

Just not home
But not to the place I consider home

And you can aim for my heart, go for blood
You can try to hurt me deeply

But you would still miss me in your bones
But you would still feel my absence deeply

And I still talk to you
I still speak to you even though you can't hear me

When I'm screaming at the sky
When I am full of emotion and yelling into the abyss

And when you can't sleep at night
And when you are unable to find peace

You hear my stolen lullabies
You hear my familiar and comforting songs in your head

And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves
And so our relationship will be destroyed and come to an end

You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same
You had to end things between us, but it was hard on you too

You turned into your worst fears
You became the thing you most feared

And you're tossing out blame
And you're blaming me for everything

Drunk on this pain
Lost in the intense emotions and unable to think clearly

Crossing out the good years
Ignoring and focusing on the negative parts of our past

And you're cursing my name
And you're still angry at me

Wishing I stayed
Wishing I had chosen to be with you instead of leaving

Look at how my tears ricochet
See how my emotions continue to have an impact on you and everyone else around me
