He’s the song in the car i keep singing He’s the reason for the teardrops on my guitar The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star Real love shines golden like starlight and doesn't fade or spontaneously combust. Pierce the room like a cannonball Loving him is like driving a new maserati down a dead end street Like the colors in autumn so bright just before they lose it all Back when you fi t my poems like a perfect rhyme The way you move is like a full-on rainstorm and i’m a house of cards You gave me roses and i left them there to die I lived in your chess game but you changed the rules everyday I took your matches before fire could catch me I’m shining like fireworks / over your sad empty town Your voice like nails on a chalkboard calling me out when i’m wounded The story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now Searching for a sound we had not heard before It’s a new soundtrack i could dance to this beat The lights are so bright but they never blind me, It’s gonna go down in flames I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream You took a polaroid of us then discovered the rest of the world was black and white, but we were in screaming color What was shiny now it’s all rusted Band-aids don’t fix bullet holes. They got the cages; they got the boxes. And guns they are the hunters, we are the foxes and we run The flowers that we’d grown together died of thirst There was nothing left to do when the butterflies turned to dust that covered my whole room So i punched a hole in the roof i let the flood carry away all my pictures of you The water filled my lungs i screamed so loud, but no one heard a thing We encounter the nuanced complexities of trying to gure out who to be, how to act, or how to be happy. Like invisible smoke in the room, we wonder what kind of anxiety pushes you forward and what kind ruins your ability to find joy in your life. We constantly question our choices, our surroundings, and we beat ourselves up for our mistakes. May your struggles become inaudible background noise behind the loud, clergies voices of those who love and appreciate you. Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes I’d be just like leo in saint-tropez I’ve been the archer i’ve been the prey All the king’s horses, all the king’s men couldn’t put me together again I am an architect, i’m drawing up the plans Running through rose thorns i saw the scoreboard and ran for my life The whole school is rolling fake dice, you play stupid games you win stupid prizes We were a fresh page on the desk filling in the blanks as we go But if the story’s over why am i still writing pages? I enjoy nights in brixton, shoreditch in the afternoon Stick with me, i’m your queen like a tennessee stella mccartney on the heath Put you in jail for something you didn’t do “I knew you’d linger like a tattoo kiss. I knew you’d haunt all of my what ifs.” “To live for the hope of it all, cancel plans just in case you’d call.” “Don’t want no other shade of blue but you, no other sadness in the world would do.” “We gather stones never knowing what they’ll mean. Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring.” ‘You know the greatest films of all time were never made.’-Taylor Swift “If I’m dead to you why are you at the wake?” “And women like hunting witches too, doing your dirtiest work for you.” taylor swift, folklore “A friend to all is a friend to none.” “Your faithless love’s the only hoax I believe in.” ‘You never gave a warning sign/I gave so many signs.’-Bon Iver/Taylor Swift “In my defense, I have none, for never leaving well enough alone.” “I can go anywhere I want. Anywhere I want, just not home.” “Take the words for what they are: a dwindling mercurial high, a drug that only worked the first few hundred times.” “I’m only seventeen, I don’t know anything, but I know I miss you.” ‘I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere.’ -Taylor Swift “Time, wondrous time, gave me the blues and then purple-pink skies.” “I’d give you my sunshine, give you my best, but the rain is always gonna come if you’re standing with me.” taylor swift, folklore “It would’ve been fun if you would’ve been the one.” “I’ve never been a natural, all I do is try, try, try.” ‘One single thread of gold tied me to you.’ -Taylor Swift “When I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone’s bed, you put me on and said I was your favorite.” “I had a marvelous time ruining everything.” “You’re not my homeland anymore, so what am I defending now?” “Second, third and hundredth chances, balancing on breaking branches.” ‘I think I’ve seen this film before, and I didn’t like the ending.’ -Taylor Swift “If my wishes came true, it would’ve been you.” “They told me all of my cages were mental, so I got wasted like all my potential.” “She pulled up like a figment of my worst intentions.” “Our coming of age has come and gone.” ‘Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?’ -Taylor Swift “So much for summer love and saying ‘us,’ ’cause you weren’t mine to lose.” “Isn’t it just so pretty to think, all along there was some invisible string tying you to me.” “Just one single glimpse of relief to make some sense of what you’ve seen.” “I knew you tried to change the ending, Peter losing Wendy.” ‘You are not like the regulars, the masquerade revelers, drunk as they watch my shattered edges glisten.’ -Taylor Swift “What a shame she went mad. You made her like that.” “All these people think love’s for show, but I would die for you in secret.” “Back when we were still changing for the better, wanting was enough.” “I didn’t have it in myself to go with grace, and you’re the hero flying around saving face.” ‘And if I’m on fire, you’ll be made to ashes too.’ -Taylor Swift “You can aim for my heart, go for blood, but you would still miss me in your bones.” “Hell was the journey but it brought me heaven.” “Robbers to the east, clowns to the West.” “I’ve been meaning to tell you I think your house is haunted. Your dad is always mad and that must be why.” ‘You know the greatest loves of all time are over now.’ -Taylor Swift
