I Knew You Were Trouble
Taylor Swift Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was in your sights, you got me alone
You found me, you found me
You found me
I guess you didn't care, and I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard, you took a step back
Without me, without me
Without me
And he's long gone
When he's next to me
And I realize
The blame is on me
'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lyin' on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble
No apologies, he'll never see you cry
Pretends he doesn't know that he's the reason why
You're drowning, you're drowning
You're drowning
And I heard you moved on from whispers on the street
A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be
Now I see
He was long gone
When he met me
And I realize
The joke is on me, yeah
I knew you were trouble when you walked in (oh)
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been (yeah)
Now I'm lyin' on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh (yeah)
Trouble, trouble, trouble (trouble)
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble
And the saddest fear
Comes creepin' in
That you never loved me
Or her, or anyone, or anything
Yeah
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been (never been)
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in (knew it right there)
So shame on me now (knew it right there)
Flew me to places I'd never been (ooh)
Now I'm lyin' on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble (oh)
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble (trouble)
'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble
'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble
The song I Knew You Were Trouble by Taylor Swift tells the story of a girl who falls for a guy who she knows is bad news but cannot resist his charm. The lyrics begin with the girl reminiscing about the time when she first met the guy and how he found her although he did not care much about her. She admits that she fell hard for him even though he took a step back. While she was in love, she knew deep down that this could lead to trouble. The chorus indicates that she tried to convince herself that he was not as bad as she thought, but ultimately, she was right in her intuition, and he put her down, leaving her alone on the cold hard ground.
The second verse discusses how the girl heard about the guy moving on and getting involved with someone else who might end up in the same situation. She also admits that he was never really in love with her or anyone else, which is the saddest fear that creeps in. Throughout the song, the chorus serves as a reminder to the girl that she knew all along that he was trouble but ignored her intuition. Overall, the song sends a powerful message about the importance of listening to our instincts and not succumbing to temptation, even when it seems irresistible.
Line by Line Meaning
Once upon a time
Long ago
A few mistakes ago
Before things went wrong
I was in your sights
I got your attention
You got me alone
You isolated me
You found me
You discovered me
I guess you didn't care
You didn't have feelings for me
And I guess I liked that
I was attracted to your indifference
And when I fell hard
I became emotionally invested
You took a step back
You pulled away
Without me
Leaving me behind
And he's long gone
He left a while ago
When he's next to me
When I'm with him
And I realize
I understand now
The blame is on me
It's my fault
'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
I knew you would cause problems for me from the start
So shame on me now
I should have known better
Flew me to places I'd never been
You exposed me to new experiences
'Til you put me down, oh
Until you hurt me
No apologies
You never said sorry
He'll never see you cry
You won't let him know that he affected you
Pretends he doesn't know
Acts like he's innocent
That he's the reason why
He caused the problem
You're drowning
You're struggling
And I heard you moved on
I heard you've moved forward
From whispers on the street
From rumors going around
A new notch in your belt
A new conquest for you
Is all I'll ever be
You only saw me as someone to conquer
And now I see
Now I understand
And the saddest fear
The worst fear
Comes creepin' in
Slowly enters
That you never loved me
You never had feelings for me
Or her
Or anyone else
Or anything
Or anything else
Yeah
Yes
Trouble, trouble, trouble
Problems, problems, problems

@FiggyFiggleton
Not a Taylor Swift fan myself, but my daughter is. So here I am listening to these songs so I can learn to play them on guitar and then teach them to her. I really want her to have fun and learn to play too so we can have something we can do together. We'll see how it goes.
