So Long London
Taylor Swift Lyrics

I saw in my mind fairy lights through the mist
In my imagination, I envisioned a whimsical and magical atmosphere, obscured by uncertainty.

I kept calm and carried the weight of the rift
I maintained my composure while shouldering the emotional burden caused by our growing distance.

Pulled him in tighter each time he was drifting away
I made an effort to cling to him even more desperately whenever he started to disengage from me.

My spine split from carrying us up the hill
I felt immense strain and pressure from the effort of sustaining our relationship during challenging times.

Wet through my clothes, weary bones caught the chill
Drenched and fatigued, I felt an acute sense of discomfort and sorrow that enveloped me.

I stopped trying to make him laugh
I gave up on my attempts to bring joy to him, recognizing it was futile.

Stopped trying to drill the safe
I ceased my efforts to penetrate the barriers he had built around himself to protect his feelings.

Thinkin, how much sad did you think I had
Reflecting on the depth of sadness you perceived within me.

Did you think I had in me?
Questioning whether you truly understood the extent of my emotional capacity and resilience.

Oh, the tragedy ...
Acknowledging the profound sorrow that permeates our relationship.

So long, London
Farewell, to the city that holds memories of our time together.

You′ll find someone ...
You will eventually discover a new partner or love.

I didn't opt in to be your odd man out
I never chose to feel like an outsider in our relationship.

I founded the club she's heard great things about
I established a social circle or connection that others found appealing, contrasting with my own feelings.

I left all I knew, you left me at the house by the Heath
I abandoned my familiar life, feeling abandoned at the place we once shared during a pivotal moment.

I stopped CPR, after all it's no use
I ceased my efforts to revive our romance, realizing it was beyond saving.

The spirit was gone, we would never come to
The essence of our connection had vanished, and there was no chance of reconciliation.

And I'm pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free
I feel frustrated that I devoted my youthful energy and love without receiving anything in return.

For so long, London
For an extended period, this city encapsulated my experiences.

Stitches undone
The emotional wounds we once tried to mend are now exposed.

Two graves, one gun
This relationship felt destructive, as if both parties suffered equally from the conflict.

I′ll find someone ...
I will eventually encounter a new connection or love.

And you say I abandoned the ship
You claim that I deserted the relationship at the first sign of trouble.

But I was going down with it
In reality, I was also suffering and struggling as our relationship deteriorated.

My white knuckle dying grip
I was holding on tightly, desperately trying to maintain our connection.

Holding tight to your quiet resentment and
Clinging to the unspoken grudges and dissatisfaction you harbored.

My friends said it isn′t right to be scared
People around me advised that living in fear of love was unhealthy.

Every day of a love affair
Each day spent in this relationship felt fraught with anxiety.

Every breath feels like rarest air
Each moment felt precious yet precarious when uncertainty loomed.

When you're not sure if he wants to be there
Doubt permeates the relationship because I questioned his commitment.

So how much sad did you think I had,
Again musing about the levels of sadness you assumed I could endure.

Did you think I had in me?
Questioning whether you recognized the depths of my emotional resilience.

How much tragedy?
Contemplating the extent of despair that had unfolded.

Just how low did you think I′d go?
Wondering how far you believed I could sink before breaking down.

Before I′d self-implode
Before I would explode from the pressure and distress within.

Before I′d have to go be free
Before I would be compelled to liberate myself from this toxic situation.

You swore that you loved me but where were the clues?
You claimed to love me, yet I found no signs or evidence of your commitment.

I died on the altar waiting for the proof
I felt emotionally sacrificed while waiting for concrete evidence of your love.

You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days
You prioritized your own struggles and low points over our relationship.

And I'm just getting color back into my face
I’m beginning to regain my vitality and sense of self after this experience.

I′m just mad as hell cause I loved this place
I feel a mix of anger and sadness because I cherished our memories here.

For so long, London
For a significant period, this city was intertwined with my feelings of love and loss.

Had a good run
We had a substantial, albeit flawed, journey together.

A moment of warm sun
There were fleeting moments of joy and happiness amidst the turmoil.

But I'm not the one
Ultimately, I realize that I’m not the right partner for you.

So long, London
Goodbye, to the city that now represents our shared memories and heartaches.

Stitches undone
Emotional wounds remain open and unresolved.

Two graves, one gun
The damage dealt by our relationship felt fatal to both of us.

You'll find someone ...
You will eventually discover another person to connect with.
