the 1

Swift merefleksikan tentang kehilangan cinta dari orang yang sudah dianggap sebagai belahan jiwa. Ia juga mempertanyakan kalau saja situasi berbeda, apakah mereka masih bersama.

[Verse 1]

I'm doing good, I'm on some new shit

Been saying "yes" instead of "no"

I thought I saw you at the bus stop, I didn't though

I hit the ground running each night

I hit the Sunday matinée

You know the greatest films of all time were never made

[Pre-Chorus]

I guess you never know, never know

And if you wanted me, you really should've showed

And if you never bleed, you're never gonna grow

And it's alright now

[Chorus]

But we were something, don't you think so?

Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool

And if my wishes came true

It would've been you

In my defense, I have none

For never leaving well enough alone

But it would've been fun

If you would've been the one

(Ooh)

[Verse 2]

I had this dream you're doing cool shit

Having adventures on your own

You meet some woman on the internet and take her home

We never painted by the numbers, baby

But we were making it count

You know the greatest loves of all time are over now

[Pre-Chorus]

I guess you never know, never know

And it's another day waking up alone

[Chorus]

But we were something, don't you think so?

Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool

And if my wishes came true

It would've been you

In my defense, I have none

For never leaving well enough alone

But it would've been fun

If you would've been the one

[Bridge]

I, I, I persist and resist the temptation to ask you

If one thing had been different

Would everything be different today?

[Chorus]

We were something, don't you think so?

Rosé flowing with your chosen family

And it would've been sweet

If it could've been me

In my defense, I have none

For digging up the grave another time

But it would've been fun

If you would've been the one

(Ooh)

cardigan 

Cardigan mengeksplorasi  cinta di masa muda yang seringkali sulit dilupakan. Banyak yang bilang lagu pembuka ini adalah salah satu yang bercerita tentang kisah cinta segitiga, dalam perspektif Betty.

[Verse 1]
Vintage tee, brand new phone
Kaos antik, telepon baruHigh heels on cobblestones
Sepatu hak tinggi di atas batu bulatWhen you are young, they assume you know nothing
Ketika kamu masih muda, mereka menganggapmu tidak tahu apa-apaSequined smile, black lipstick
Senyum berpayet, lipstik hitamSensual politics
Politik sensualWhen you are young, they assume you know nothing
Ketika kamu masih muda, mereka menganggapmu tidak tahu apa-apa
[Chorus]
But I knew you
Namun, aku kenal kamuDancin' in your Levi's
Menari dengan Levi's muDrunk under a streetlight, I
Mabuk di bawah lampu jalan, akuI knew you
Aku kenal dirimuHand under my sweatshirt
Tangan di bawah kauskuBaby, kiss it better, I
Sayang, cium itu lebih baik
[Refrain]
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Dan ketika aku merasa seperti kardigan lamaUnder someone's bed
Di bawah kasur seseorangYou put me on and said I was your favorite
Kamu memakaiku dan bilang dulu aku favoritmu

[Verse 2]
A friend to all is a friend to none
Seoarang teman bagi semuanya adalah bukan seorang teman bagi yang lainChase two girls, lose the one
Mengejar dua gadis, kehilangan satu
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
Ketika kamu masih muda, mereka berasumsi kamu tidak tahu apa-apa
[Chorus]
But I knew you
Namun, aku tahu dirimuPlaying hide-and-seek and
Bermain petak umpet danGiving me your weekends, I
Memberiku akhir pekanmu (waktu luang), akuI knew you
Aku mengenalmu
Your heartbeat on the High Line
Detak jantungmu di High Line (Sebuah taman di New York City)Once in twenty lifetimes, I
Sekali dalam dua puluh tahun hidupku, Aku
[Refrain]
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Dan ketika aku merasa seperti kardigan lamaUnder someone's bed
Di bawah kasur seseorangYou put me on and said I was your favorite
Kamu memakaiku dan bilang dulu aku favoritmu
[Bridge]
To kiss in cars and downtown bars
Berciuman di dalam mobil dan (di) bar pusat kotaWas all we needed
Itu (dulu) yang kita butuhkanYou drew stars around my scars
Kamu menggambar bintang di sekitar bekas lukakuBut now I'm bleedin'
Namun, kini aku berdarah
[Chorus]
'Cause I knew you
Karena aku mengenalmuSteppin' on the last train
Melangkah di kereta terakhirMarked me like a bloodstain, I

 Menandaiku seperti noda darah, Aku
I knew you
Aku mengenalmuTried to change the ending
Mencoba mengubah akhirannyaPeter losing Wendy, I
Peter kehilangan Wendy, AkuI knew you
Aku mengenalmuLeavin' like a father
Meninggalkan seperti seorang ayahRunning like water, I
Berjalan seperti airAnd when you are young, they assume you know nothing
Ketika kamu masih muda, mereka berasumsi kamu tidak tahu apa-apa
[Verse 3]
But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss
Namun, aku tahu kamu akan bertahan seperti ciuman tatoI knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs
Aku tahu kamu akan menghantui semua pertanyaankuThe smell of smoke would hang around this long
Bau asap akan bertahan selama ini'Cause I knew everything when I was young
Karena aku tahu segalanya ketika kau masih mudaI knew I'd curse you for the longest time
Aku tahu aku akan mengutukmu untuk waktu yang lamaChasin' shadows in the grocery line
Menangkap bayangan di grosirI knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired
Aku  tahu kamu akan merindukanku begitu sensasi itu berakhirAnd you'd be standin' in my front porch light
Dan kamu akan berdiri di bawah cahaya teras dapankuAnd I knew you'd come back to me
Dan aku tahu kamu akan kembali padakuYou'd come back to me
Kamu akan kembali kepadakuAnd you'd come back to me
Dan kamu akan kembali kepadakuAnd you'd come back
Dan kamu akan kembali
[Refrain]
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Dan ketika aku merasa seperti kardigan lamaUnder someone's bed
Di bawah kasur seseorangYou put me on and said I was your favorite
Kamu memakaiku dan bilang dulu aku favoritmu

Folklore Taylor Swift

I want you to know

I'm a mirrorball

I'll show you every version of yourself tonight

I'll get you out on the floor

Shimmering beautiful

And when I break it's in a million pieces

Hush

When no one is around, my dear

You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes

Spinning in my highest heels, love

Shining just for you

Hush

I know they said the end is near

But I'm still on my tallest tiptoes

Spinning in my highest heels, love

Shining just for you

I want you to know

I'm a mirrorball

I can change everything about me to fit in

You are not like the regulars

The masquerade revelers

Drunk as they watch my shattered edges glisten

Hush

When no one is around, my dear

You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes

Spinning in my highest heels, love

Shining just for you

Hush

I know they said the end is near

But I'm still on my tallest tiptoes

Spinning in my highest heels, love

Shining just for you

And they called off the circus

Burned the disco down

When they sent home the horses

And the rodeo clowns

I'm still on that tightrope

I'm still trying everything to get you laughing at me

I'm still a believer but I don't know why

I've never been a natural

All I do is try, try, try

I'm still on that trapeze

I'm still trying everything

To keep you looking at me

Because I'm a mirrorball

I'm a mirrorball

I'll show you every version of yourself

Tonight

Ada 3 lagu yang menjadi rangkuman kisah cinta segitiga remaja yang masing-masing diyakini oleh penggemar bernama Betty, James, dan Inez.






my tears ricochet

pedih banget lagunya. tentang perpisahan karena hubungan yang toxic

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

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

But 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

'Cause 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'd stayed

Look at how 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

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace

And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves

You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same

Cursing my name

Wishing I stayed

You turned into your worst fears

And you're tossing out blame

Drunk on this pain

Crossing out the good years

And you're cursing my name

Wishing I stayed

Look at how my tears ricochet

exile

F#

 I can see you standing, honey

D#m

 With his arms around your body

F#                                         D#m

 Laughin', but the joke's not funny at all

D#m

 To pack us up and leave me with it

F#                                          D#m

 Holdin' all this love out here in the hall

[Chorus]

B             C#                 D#m

 Like you'd get your knuckles bloody for me

Ah, ah

the last great american dynasty

bercerita tentang kisah hidup  komposer Rebekah Harkness, pemilik lama rumah Taylor Swift  di Watch Hill, Rhode Island. 

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 divorcée do it?"

The 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

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 the ballet

And losing on card game bets with Dalí

And they said

There goes the last great American dynasty

Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been

There goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seen

She had a marvelous time ruining everything

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, their 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 ruining everything

A marvelous time ruining everything

A marvelous time

I had a marvelous time

seven

menceritakan kehidupan anak kecil yang tak bahagia di rumahnya sendiri dan mengalami trauma karenanya.

Please picture me

In the trees

I hit my peak at seven

Feet

In the swing

Over the creek

I was too scared to jump in, but I, I was high

In the sky

With Pennsylvania under me

Are there still beautiful things?

Sweet tea in the summer

Cross your heart, won't tell no other

And though I can't recall your face

I still got love for you

Your braids like a pattern

Love you to the moon and to Saturn

Passed down like folk songs

The love lasts so long

And I've been meaning to tell you

I think your house is haunted

Your dad is always mad and that must be why

And I think you should come live with

Me and we can be pirates

Then you won't have to cry

Or hide in the closet

And just like a folk song

Our love will be passed on

Please picture me

In the weeds

Before I learned civility

I used to scream

Ferociously

Any time I wanted

Sweet tea in the summer

Cross my heart, won't tell no other

And though I can't recall your face

I still got love for you

Pack your dolls and a sweater

We'll move to India forever

Passed down like folk songs

Our love lasts so long

august
menceritakan kisah cinta segitiga album ini dari sudur pandang inez. Rasa kehilangan james yang sejak awal memang bukan miliknya.


[Verse 1]
Salt air, and the rust on your door
I never needed anything more
Whispers of "Are you sure?"
"Never have I ever before"

[Chorus]
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine

[Verse 2]
Your back beneath the sun
Wishin' I could write my name on it
Will you call when you're back at school?
I remember thinkin' I had you

[Chorus]
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine

[Bridge]
Back when we were still changin' for the better
Wanting was enough
For me, it was enough
To live for the hope of it all
Canceled plans just in case you'd call
And say, "Meet me behind the mall"
So much for summer love and saying "us"
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
You weren't mine to lose, no

[Chorus]
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine

[Outro]
'Cause you were never mine
Never mine
But do you remember?
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
"Meet me behind the mall"
(Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car")
(And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?)
(Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
("Meet me behind the mall")
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all (For the hope of it all)
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
(For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)

illicit affairs
tentang perselingkuhan

Make sure nobody sees you leave

Hood over your head

Keep your eyes down

Tell your friends you're out for a run

You'll be flushed when you return

Take the road less traveled by

Tell yourself you can always stop

What started in beautiful rooms

Ends with meetings in parking lots

And that's the thing about illicit affairs

And clandestine meetings

And longing stares

It's born from just one single glance

But it dies and it dies and it dies

...a million little times

Leave the perfume on the shelf

That you picked out just for him

So you leave no trace behind

Like you don't even exist

Take the words for what they are

A dwindling, mercurial high

A drug that only worked

The first few hundred times

And that's the thing about illicit affairs

And clandestine meetings

And stolen stares

They show their truth one single time

But they lie and they lie and they lie

...a million little times

And you wanna scream

Don't call me kid

Don't call me baby

Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me

You showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else

Don't call me kid

Don't call me baby

Look at this idiotic fool that you made me

You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else

And you know damn well

For you I would ruin myself

...a million little times

invisible stringtentang benang merah jodoh. cerita kisah taylor swift dengan pacarnya yang bertemu 2016, dan sekaligus mengisyaratkan tentang langkah baru dalam hubungan mereka.

[Verse 1]
Green was the color of the grass
Where I used to read at Centennial Park
I used?to?think I would?meet somebody there
Teal was the color?of your shirt
When you were sixteen at the yogurt shop
You?used?to?work at to?make a little?money

[Chorus]
Time, curious time
Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs
Were there clues I didn't see?
And isn't it just so pretty to think
All along there was some
Invisible string
Tying you to me-e-e-e
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
Bad was the blood of the song in the cab
On your first trip to LA
You ate at my favorite spot for dinner
Bold was the waitress on our three-year trip
Getting lunch down by the Lakes
She said I looked like an American singer

[Chorus]
Time, mystical time
Cutting me open, then healing me fine
Were there clues I didn't see?
And isn't it just so pretty to think
All along there was some
Invisible string
Tying you to me-e-e-e
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Bridge]
String that pulled me
Out of all the wrong arms
Right into that dive bar
Something wrapped all my past mistakes in barbed wire
Chains around my demons
Wool to brave the seasons
One single thread of gold
Tied me to you

[Verse 3]
Cold was the steel of my axe to grind
For the boys who broke my heart
Now I send their babies presents
Gold was the color of the leaves
When I showed you around Centennial Park
Hell was the journey but it brought me heaven

[Chorus]
Time, wondrous time
Gave me the blues and then purple-pink skies
And it's cool
Baby, with me
And isn't it just so pretty to think
All along there was some
Invisible string
Tying you to me-e-e-e
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Me-e-e-e
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Outro]
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah

this is me trying
menggambarkan upaya untuk sebuah hubungan

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

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

Pourin' 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

And it's hard to be at a party

When I feel like an open wound

It's hard to be anywhere these days

When all I want is you

You're a flashback in a film reel

On the one screen in my town

And I just wanted you to know

That this is me trying (Maybe I don't quite know what to say)

I just wanted you to know

That this is me trying

At least I'm trying

mad woman

tentang kemarahan perempuan. menggambarkan taylor swift yang mengeluarkan kekesalannya karena master enam album lamanya dikangkangi Scott Borchetta dan Scooter Braun. Juga menyinggung tentang Kanye West.

What did you think I'd say to that?
Does a scorpion sting when fighting back?
They strike to kill and you know I will
You know I will

What do you sing on your drive home?
Do you see my face in the neighbor's lawn?
Does she smile?
Or does she mouth "fuck you forever"?

Every time you call me crazy
I get more crazy
What about that?
And when you say I seem angry, I get more angry
And there's nothing like a mad woman
What a shame she went mad
No one likes a mad woman
You made her like that
And you'll poke that bear till her claws come out
And you find something to wrap your noose around
And there's nothing like a mad woman

Now I breathe flames each time I talk
My cannons all firing at your yacht
They say "move on"
But you know I won't
And women like hunting witches, too
Doing your dirtiest work for you
It's obvious that wanting me dead has really brought you two together

Every time you call me crazy
I get more crazy
What about that?
And when you say I seem angry, I get more angry
And there's nothing like a mad woman
What a shame she went mad
No one likes a mad woman
You made her like that
And you'll poke that bear till her claws come out
And you find something to wrap your noose around
And there's nothing like a mad woman

I'm taking my time
Taking my time
'Cause you took everything from me
Watching you climb
Watching you climb
Over people like me
The master of spin
Has a couple side flings
Good wives always know
She should be mad
Should be scathing like me
But no one likes a mad woman
What a shame she went mad

You made her like that

epiphany

tentang sudut pandang berbeda yang dia temukan akan orang-orang yang dia kenal, dan mereka yang belum serta dia harapkan akan temukan.


Keep your helmet, keep your life, son
Just a flesh wound, here's your rifle

Crawling up the beaches now
Sir, I think he's bleeding out
And some things you just can't speak about

With you I serve, I fall down, down
Watch you breath in, watch you breathing out, out

Something med school, did not cover
Someone's daughter, someone's mother

Hold your hand through plastic now
Doc, I think she's crashing out
And some things you just can't speak about

Only twenty minutes to sleep
But you dream of some epiphany
Just one single glimpse of relief
To make some sense of what you see

With you I serve, I fall down, down
Watch you breath in, watch you breathing out, out
With you I serve, I fall down, down
Watch you breath in, watch you breathing out, out

Only twenty minutes to sleep
But you dream of some epiphany
Just one single glimpse of relief
To make some sense of what you see

betty

bercerita dari perspektif James yang menjelaskan kepada Betty tentang rumor didengar dari Inez. Menggambarkan James yang tak bisa mengakui kesalahannya. Sedangkan  Betty alhamdulillah telah berkembang dan makin menyadari nilai dirinya sendiri. Feminis banget ya lagunya

"You heard the rumors from Inez/You can't believe a word she says/Most times, but this time it was true/The worst thing that I ever did/Was what I did to you"

Betty, I won't make assumptions
About why you switched your homeroom, but
I think it's 'cause of me
Betty, one time I was riding on my skateboard
When I passed your house
It's like I couldn't breathe

You heard the rumors from Inez
You can't believe a word she says
Most times, but this time it was true
The worst thing that I ever did
Was what I did to you

But if I just showed up at your party
Would you have me? Would you want me?
Would you tell me to go fuck myself
Or lead me to the garden?
In the garden, would you trust me

If I told you it was just a summer thing?
I'm only seventeen, I don't know anything
But I know I miss you

Betty, I know where it all went wrong
Your favorite song was playing
From the far side of the gym
I was nowhere to be found
I hate the crowds, you know that
Plus, I saw you dance with him

You heard the rumors from Inez
You can't believe a word she says
Most times, but this time it was true
The worst thing that I ever did
Was what I did to you

But if I just showed up at your party
Would you have me? Would you want me?
Would you tell me to go fuck myself
Or lead me to the garden?
In the garden, would you trust me

If I told you it was just a summer thing?
I'm only seventeen, I don't know anything
But I know I miss you

I was walking home on broken cobblestones

Just thinking of you when she pulled up like
A figment of my worst intentions
She said "James, get in, let's drive"

Those days turned into nights

Slept next to her, but
I dreamt of you all summer long

Betty, I'm here on your doorstep
And I planned it out for weeks now
But it's finally sinkin' in
Betty, right now is the last time

I can dream about what happens when
You see my face again

The only thing I wanna do
Is make it up to you
So I showed up at your party
Yeah, I showed up at your party

Yeah, I showed up at your party
Will you have me? Will you love me?
Will you kiss me on the porch
In front of all your stupid friends?
If you kiss me, will it be just like I dreamed it?
Will it patch your broken wings?

I'm only seventeen, I don't know anything
But I know I miss you

Standing in your cardigan
Kissin' in my car again
Stopped at a streetlight

You know I miss you

menggambarkan kematangan dan pandangan asmara Taylor Swift.

Our coming of age has come and gone
Suddenly this summer it’s clear
I never had the courage of my convictions
As long as danger is near
And it’s just around the corner, darlin’
’Cause it lives in me

No, I could never give you peace
But I’m a fire and I’ll keep your brittle heart warm
If your cascade ocean wave blues come
All these people think love’s for show
But I would die for you in secret
The devil’s in the details
But you got a friend in me
Would it be enough

If I could never give you peace?
Your integrity makes me seem small
You paint dreamscapes on the wall
I talk shit with my friends
It’s like I’m wastin’ your honor
And you know that I’d

Swing with you for the fences
Sit with you in the trenches
Give you my wild, give you a child
Give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other
Family that I chose now that I see your brother as my brother

Is it enough?
But there’s robbers to the east
Clowns to the West
I’d give you my sunshine
Give you my best
But the rain is always gonna come
If you’re standing with me

But I’m a fire and I’ll keep your brittle heart warm
If your cascade ocean wave blues come
All these people think love’s for show
But I would die for you in secret
The devil’s in the details
But you got a friend in me

Would it be enough
If I could never give you peace?
Would it be enough
If I could never give you peace?
Would it be enough
If I could never give you peace?

bercerita tentang perjuangan Taylor Swift bertahan dalam hubungan yang toksik. Meski putus asa, namun dia tak bisa melepaskan hubungan itu.

My only one
My smoking gun
My eclipsed sun
This has broken me down
My twisted knife
My sleepless night
My?winless?fight
This has frozen?my ground

Stood on the cliffside screaming,?" Give me a reason"
Your faithless love's the only hoax I?believe?in
Don't?want no other?shade of blue?but you
No other sadness in the world would do

My best laid plan
Your sleight of hand
My barren land
I am ash from your fire

Stood on the cliffside screaming, " Give me a reason"
Your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in
Don't want no other shade of blue but you
No other sadness in the world would do

You know I left a part of me back in New York

You knew the hero died so what's the movie for?
You knew it still hurts underneath my scars
From when they pulled me apart
You knew the password so I let you in the door
You knew you won so what's the point of keeping score?
You knew it still hurts underneath my scars
From when they pulled me apart
But what you did was just as dark
(Ah, ah, ah)
Darling, this was just as hard
As when they pulled me apart

My only one
My kingdom come undone
My broken drum
You have beaten my heart
Don't want no other shade of blue but you
No other sadness in the world would do
