I Bet You Think About Me
Taylor Swift [feat. Chris Stapleton] Lyrics

3 AM and I'm still awake, I'll bet you're just fine
I am still up and thinking of you while you are most likely asleep and not thinking of me

Fast asleep in your city that's better than mine
You are sleeping soundly in your superior city while I am left alone in my less impressive one

And the girl in your bed has a fine pedigree
The girl in your bed comes from a high societal background that is supposedly more worthy than my own

And I'll bet your friends tell you she's better than me, huh
I am sure that your friends think that the girl in your bed is a better match for you than I ever was

Well, I tried to fit in with your upper-crust circles
I attempted to assimilate into your wealthy social group

Yeah, they let me sit in back when we were in love
When we were together, I was only allowed to sit at the back of the group when we hung out with your friends

Oh, they sit around talkin' 'bout the meaning of life
Your friends spend their time discussing philosophical topics such as the purpose of existence

And the book that just saved 'em that I hadn't heard of
They talk about books that I am not familiar with and haven't read

But now that we're done and it's over
Since our relationship has ended

I bet you couldn't believe
You were probably surprised when you found out

When you realized I'm harder to forget than I was to leave
You found out that it's not easy to forget me despite the fact that it was easy for you to leave me

And I bet you think about me
I am confident that you frequently think about me

You grew up in a silver-spoon gated community
You were raised in a wealthy, exclusive neighborhood

Glamorous, shiny, bright Beverly Hills
Specifically, you were brought up in the posh area of Beverly Hills

I was raised on a farm, no, it wasn't a mansion
In contrast, I grew up on a modest farm that was far from being luxurious

Just livin' room dancin' and kitchen table bills
However, I had fun in my living room dancing and we didn't have much financially, so we paid most bills on our kitchen table

But you know what they say, you can't help who you fall for
As the saying goes, you can't control who you fall in love with

And you and I fell like an early spring snow
We fell in love quickly and intensely, like a snowfall in the early spring

But reality crept in, you said we're too different
Eventually, the real world caught up with us and you decided that our differences would prevent us from being together

You laughed at my dreams, rolled your eyes at my jokes
You made fun of my aspirations and didn't appreciate my sense of humor

Mr. Superior Thinkin'
You have a tendency to think of yourself as superior

Do you have all the space that you need?
Are you satisfied with the life you've chosen for yourself?

I don't have to be your shrink to know that you'll never be happy
I don't have to be your therapist to realize that you'll never find true happiness

And I bet you think about me
I am certain that you think about me from time to time

Oh, block it all out
You try to ignore my memory

The voices so loud, sayin'
The voices in your head are persistent and loud

"Why did you let her go?"
"Why did you break up with her?"

Does it make you feel sad
Does it cause you to feel melancholy or regretful

That the love that you're lookin' for
Are you upset that the love that you're searching for

Is the love that you had
Is the love that you experienced with me

Now you're out in the world, searchin' for your soul
Currently, you're exploring the world on a quest to find your true purpose

Scared not to be hip, scared to get old
You're afraid of losing your cool factor and becoming old and dull

Chasin' make-believe status, last time you felt free
You're pursuing an imaginary sense of status, and the last time you felt truly free was with me

Was when none of that shit mattered 'cause you were with me
During our time together, everything else seemed irrelevant because we were happy just being with each other

But now that we're done and it's over
Unfortunately, our romance has come to an end

I bet it's hard to believe
I think it's likely difficult for you to accept

But it turned out I'm harder to forget than I was to leave
It is proving to be more difficult to forget me than it was to walk away from our relationship

And, yeah, I bet you think about me
I'm sure that you think about me often

I bet you think about me when you're out
I suspect that you think of me when you're out and about

At your cool indie music concerts every week
Particularly when you're attending hip indie music concerts every week

I bet you think about me in your house
It wouldn't surprise me if you think about me while in your house

With your organic shoes and your million-dollar couch
Surrounded by your expensive items, including the organic shoes and million-dollar couch you own

I bet you think about me when you say
I strongly believe that you think of me when you say

"Oh my God, she's insane, she wrote a song about me"
"Wow, she really wrote a whole song about me - that's crazy"

I bet you think about me
Overall, I am certain that you think of me frequently
