The Story Of Us
Taylor Swift (泰勒絲) Lyrics

I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
I once thought that we would be a couple with a beautiful love story that we would share with everyone

How we met and the sparks flew instantly
Our first encounter was magical, sparks flew and we were instantly attracted to each other

People would say, "they're the lucky ones"
We were the envy of others and people thought of us as the lucky ones

Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
I feel so out of place that I am desperately trying to find a spot to hide in the room

'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on
I am confused about how you feel and where our relationship is headed, and I even feel like we are on different pages

Oh, a simple complication
Our relationship problems are not that complicated, but we make them so by miscommunicating

Miscommunications lead to fall out
Our inability to communicate effectively leads to our relationship problems

So many things that I wish you knew
There are many things that I wish you understood about me and how I feel, but I don't know how to express them

So many walls up I can't break through
Our problems have created emotional walls between us that I am unable to break through

Now I'm standing alone In a crowded room
Despite being surrounded by people, I feel completely alone since you are not with me

And we're not speaking and I'm dying to know
Our communication has broken down and I am desperate to know how you feel

Is it killing you like it's killing me yeah
I am struggling to cope with the breakdown of our relationship and I wonder if you are feeling the same way

I don't know what to say since the twist of fate
After we fell apart, I don't know how to approach you or what to say since things have taken such an unexpected turn

When it all broke down and the story of us
After our relationship fell apart, the story of us feels like a tragedy

Looks a lot like a tragedy now next chapter
Our story feels like a tragedy and the next chapter is uncertain

How'd we end up this way?
I wonder how our relationship turned out this way

See me nervously pulling at my clothes
I am so anxious and nervous that I can't stop fidgeting with my clothes

And trying to look busy
I'm desperately trying to look busy so that I don't come across as awkward or anxious

And you're doing your best to avoid me
You are actively avoiding me and it hurts me deeply

I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
Despite our problems, I still hold on to the hope that we will have a story to tell one day

How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
I remember losing my mind with excitement when I first saw you, but I no longer feel that way

But you held your pride like you should have held me
You're more concerned about holding onto your pride than holding onto me, and it hurts me deeply

Oh, I'm scared to see the ending
I am afraid to see how our story will end

Why are we pretending this is nothing?
We both know that there are problems in our relationship, but we are both pretending like there's nothing wrong

I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
I miss you terribly, but I don't know how to express it to you

I've never heard silence quite this loud
There is an awkward and uncomfortable silence between us that is almost deafening

This is looking like a contest
Our relationship feels like a competition to see who can care less

Of who can act like they care less
We are both trying to act as if we care less than we really do about each other for fear of being hurt

But I liked it better when you were on my side
I miss the time when we were both on the same side and supporting each other

The battle's in your hands now
You have the power to decide the fate of our relationship now

But I would lay my armor down
I am willing to give up everything I have and be vulnerable with you

If you'd say you'd rather love than fight
I would be willing to put aside our problems if you agree to love me and not fight with me

So many things that you wish I knew
There are many things that you wish I understood about you and how you feel, but you don't know how to express them

But the story of us might be ending soon
Our relationship may be coming to an end, and the story of us may soon be over

Looks a lot like a tragedy now, the end
Our relationship feels like a tragedy, and it may be coming to an end
