Taylor Swift
- the way I loved you
He respects my space and never makes me wait and he calls exactly when he says he will. He's close to my mother, talk's business with my father, he's charming and endearing and I'm comfortable. But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain and it's 2am and I'm cursing your name so in love that you act insane and that's the way I loved you. Breaking down and coming undone, it's a roller coaster kinda rush and I never knew I could feel that much and that's the way I loved you.

- the way I loved you
He is sensible and so incredible and all my single friends are jealous. He says everything I need to hear and it's like I couldn't ask for anything better. He open's up my door and I get into his car and he says, "You look beautiful to night." And I feel perfectly fine. But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain, and it's 2am and I'm cursing your name so in love that you act insane and that's the way I loved you. Breaking down and coming undone, it's a roller coaster kinda rush.
Taylor Swift
- renegade
Are you really gonna talk about timing in times like this? And let all your damage damage me? And carry your baggage up my street? And make me your future history, it's time we've come a long way open the blinds let me see your face. You wouldn't be the first renegade to need somebody. Is it insensitive for me to say get your shit together so I can love you? Is it really your anxiety that stops you from giving me everything? Or do you just not want to?
The girl who loves you
- A Love Letter
I want him to know that I love him with a deep, burning passion. I could start fires with what I feel for you. I want to scream at the top of my lungs that I love him. I've loved him in secret for so many years. And the saddest and most depressing part about this is that you will never know because "us" is not possible. Maybe in an alternate world or another life it would, but not this. I love you to the moon and back.

- dancing with your ghost
Never got the chance, to say a last goodbye. I gotta move on, but it hurts to try. How do I love, how do I love again? How do I trust, how do I trust again? I stay up all night, tell myself I'm alright, baby you're just harder to see than most. I put the record on, wait 'till I hear our song. Every night I'm dancing with your ghost. Every night I'm dancing with your ghost. How do I love, how do I love again? How do I trust, how do I trust again?
Sasha Sloan
- dancing with your ghost
Yelling at the sky, screaming at the world. Baby, why'd you go away, I'm still your girl. Holding on to tight, head up in the clouds. Heaven only knows where you are now. How do I love, how do I love again? How do I trust, how do I trust again? I stay up all night, tell myself I'm alright. Baby, you're just harder to see than most. I put the record on, wait 'till I hear our song. Every night I'm dancing with your ghost. Every night I'm dancing with your ghost.
Taylor Swift
- the Last Great American Dynasty
They say she was seen on occasion pacing the rocks staring out at the midnight sea; and in a feud with her neighbor, she stole his dog and dyed it key lime green. Fifty years is a long time; Holiday House sat quietly on that beach, free of women with madness, men and bad habits, and then it was bought by me. Who knows if I never showed up what could've been. There goes the loudest woman this town has ever seen. I had a marvelous time ruining everything. I had a marvelous time...

- the last great American dynasty
And they said, "There goes the last great American dynasty. Who knows if she never showed up what could've been. There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen. She had a marvelous time, ruining everything." Rebekah gave up on the Rhode Island set forever. Flew in all her Bitch Pack friends from the city. Filled the pool with champagne and swam with the big names and blew through the money on the boys and ballet. And losing on card game bets with Dali.

- the last great American dynasty
Rebekah rode up on the afternoon train, it was sunny. Her saltbox house on the coast took her mind off St. Louis. Bill was the heir to the standard oil name and money and the town said, "how did a middle-class divorcee do it?" Their wedding was charming, if a little gauche. There's only so far new money goes. They picked out a home and called it holiday house. Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud. The doctor had told him to settle down. It must have been her fault his heart gave out.
Taylor Swift
- tolerate it
While you were out building other worlds, where was I? Where's that man who'd throw blankets over my barbed wire? I made you my temple, my mural, my sky. And now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life. Drawing hearts in the byline. Always taking up too much space or time. You assume I'm fine, but what would you do if I - I break free and leave us in ruin. Took this dagger in me and removes it. Gain the weight of you then lose it, believe me I could do it.
Taylor Swift
- tolerate it
I greet you with a battle hero's welcome. I take your indiscretions all in good fun. I sit and listen. I polish plates until they gleam and glisten. You're so much older and wiser and I - I wait by the door like I'm just a kid. Use my best colors for your portrait. Lay the table with the fancy shit. And watch you tolerate it. If it's all in my head tell me now. Tell me I've got it wrong somehow. I know my love should be celebrated. But you tolerate it.
Taylor Swift
- tolerate it
I sit and watch you reading with your head low. I wake and watch you breathing with your eyes closed. I sit and watch you. I notice everything you do or don't do. You're so much older and wiser and I - I wait by the door like I'm just a kid. Use my best colors for your portrait. Lay the table with the fancy shit. And watch you tolerate it. If it's all in my head tell me now. Tell me I've got it wrong somehow. I know my love should be celebrated. But you tolerate it.
Taylor Swift
- my tears ricochet
And I can go anywhere I want, anywhere I want just not home. And you can aim for my heart, go for blood. But you would still miss me in your bones. And I still talk to you, when I'm screaming at the sky. And when you can't sleep at night, you hear my stolen lullabies.
Taylor Swift
- my tears ricochet
We gather stones, never knowing what they'll mean. Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring. You know I didn't want to have to haunt you, what a ghostly scene. You wear the same jewels that I gave you as you bury me. I didn't have it in myself to go with grace and when I'd fight you used to tell me I was brave and if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake? Cursing my name, wishing I stayed. Look at how my tears ricochet.
Taylor Swift
- my tears ricochet
We gather here, we line up weeping in a sunlit room and if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes too. Even on my worst day, did I deserve babe, all the hell you gave me? 'Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you, 'till my dying day. I didn't have it in myself to go with grace and you're the hero flying around saving face and if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake? Cursing my name, wishing I stayed. Look at how my tears ricochet.
Taylor Swift
- this is me trying
And it's hard to be at a party when you feel like an open wound. It's hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is you. You're a flashback on a film reel on the one screen in my town. And I just wanted you to know that this is me trying. I just wanted you to know that this is me trying. At least I'm trying.
Taylor Swift
- this is me trying
They told me all of my cages were mental so I got wasted like all my potential and my words shoot to kill when I'm mad. I have a lot of regrets about that. I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere, fell behind all my classmates and I ended up here. Pouring out my heart to a stranger but I didn't pour the whiskey. I just wanted you to know that this is me trying. I just wanted you to know that this is me trying. At least I'm trying.
Taylor Swift
- this is me trying
I've been having a hard time adjusting. I had the shiniest wheels; now they're rusting. I didn't know if you'd care if I came back. I have a lot of regrets about that. Pulled the car off the road to the lookout, could've followed my fears all the way down. And maybe I don't quite know what to say but I'm here in your doorway. I just wanted you to know that this is me trying. I just wanted you to know that this is me trying.
