The following is a collection of lyric sentence starters from Taylor Swift’s ninth studio album evermore. May contain mature subject matter.
I’m rough on the surface, but you cut through like a knife
If it was an open-shut case I never would have known from the look on your face
Lost in your current like a priceless wine
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow
I’m begging for you to take my hand
I can feel you sneakin’ in
There was one prize I’d cheat to win
They count me out time and time again
I come back stronger than a ‘90s trend
Wait for the signal, and I’ll meet you after dark
Show me the places where the others gave you scars
This is an open-shut case
I should'a known from the look on your face
You booked the night train for a reason
Your heart was glass, I dropped it
You told your family for a reason
You dropped my hand while dancing, left me out there standing
Love slipped beyond your reaches and I couldn’t give a reason
This dorm was once a madhouse
Soon they’ll have the nerve to deck the halls that we once walked through
I never was ready so I watch you go
She would’ve made such a lovely bride, what a shame she’s fucked in the head
Sometimes you just don’t know the answer til someone’s on their knees and asks you
You won’t remember all my champagne problems
I don’t like that anyone would die to feel your touch
Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you
What must it be like to grow up that beautiful?
I can’t dare to dream about you anymore
My mind turns your life into folklore
I won’t call you out on your contrarian shit
If I wanted to know who you were hanging with while I was gone, I would have asked you
There’s an ache in you, put there by the ache in me
But if it’s all the same to you it’s the same to me
You could call me “babe” for the weekend
Remember how you watched me leave
You can run, but only so far
And the road not taken looks real good now
Hear me out, we could just ride around
The road not taken looks real good now and it always leads to you in my hometown
I won’t ask you to wait if you don’t ask me to stay
I wonder about the only soul who can tell which smiles I’m fakin'
The heart I know I’m breakin’ is my own
Even though I’m leavin’ and I’ll be yours for the weekend
I notice everything you do or don’t do
You’re so much older and wiser
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
I take your indiscretions all in good fun
I made you my temple, my mural, my sky - now I’m begging for footnotes in the story of your life
I’m begging for footnotes in the story of your life
You assume I’m fine, but what would you do if I break free and leave us in ruins?
Believe me, I could do it
Her husband’s actin’ different, and it smells like infidelity
That ain’t my merlot on his mouth. That ain’t my jewelry on our joint account
I think I’m gonna call him out
I think he did it, but I just can’t prove it
I ain’t lettin’ up until the day I die
Good thing my daddy made me get a boating license when I was fifteen
I’ve cleaned enough houses to know how to cover up a scene
They think she did it, but they just can’t prove it
Good thing his mistress took out a big life insurance policy
I wasn’t lettin’ up until the day he died
I see this for what it is
All the years I’ve given is just shit we’re dividin’ up
There’ll be happiness after you
There was happiness because of you
Haunted by the look in my eyes that would’ve loved you for a lifetime
Tell me, when did your winning smile begin to look like a smirk?
I hope she’ll be your beautiful fool, who takes my spot next to you
Sorry, I can’t see facts through all of my fury
You haven’t met the new me yet
There’ll be happiness after me
There was happiness because of me
I can’t make it go away by making you a villain
I pulled your body into mine every goddamn night, now I get fake niceties
No one teaches you what to do when a good man hurts you and you know you hurt him, too
All you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness
After giving you the best I had, tell me what to give after that?
All you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness. You haven’t met the new me yet and I think she’ll give you that
Do you ever stop and think about me?
A tiny screen’s the only place I see you now
I got nothing but well-wishes for ya
This place is the same as it ever was but you don’t like it that way
It’s never too late to come back to my side
You'rе a queen sellin’ dreams, sellin’ makeup and magazines
From you I’d buy anything
But are you still the same soul I met under the bleachers?
If you’re ever tired of being known for who you know, you’ll always know me.
If I can’t relate to you anymore then who am I related to?
And if this is the long haul how’d we get here so soon?
Did I close my fist around something delicate?
Sorry for not making you my centerfold
What’s a lifetime of achievement if I pushed you to the edge but you were too polite to leave me?
Do you miss the rogue who coaxed you into paradise and left you there?
Will you forgive my soul when you’re too wise to trust me and too old to care?
We were like the mall before the internet
Were you waiting at our old spot: in the tree line by the gold clock?
Did I leave you hanging every single day?
When I got into the accident the sight that flashed before me was your face
Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow, tarnished but so grand
I just sit here and wait, grieving for the living
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand taking mine, but it’s been promised to another
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
I wish to know the fatal flaw that makes you long to be magnificently cursed
Your opal eyes are all I wish to see
I’d live and die for moments that we stole
What would he do if he found us out?
Dare to sit and watch what we’ll become
It’s a goddamn blaze in the dark and you started it
It’s the goddamn fight of my life and you started it
Dancin’ is a dangerous game
I’m never gonna love again
I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve
Never wanted love, just a fancy car
I’m telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear
Never thought I’d meet you here
We could be the way forward and I know I’ll pay for it
The skeletons in both our closets plotted hard to fuck this up
The old men that I’ve swindled really did believe I was the one
Now you hang from my lips like the Gardens of Babylon
Forever is the sweetest con
I tried to pick my battles ‘til the battle picked me
I was in the alley, surrounded on all sides
Long story short, it was a bad time
If the shoe fits, walk in it ‘til your high heels break
I clung to the nearest lips and long story short, it was the wrong guy
Actually, I always felt I must look better in the rear view - missing me.
If someone comes at us, this time, I’m ready
No more keepin’ score, now I just keep you warm
Past me, I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things
Your nemeses will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing
Long story short, I survived
Never be so kind you forget to be clever
Never be so clever you forget to be kind
If I didn’t know better I’d think you were talking to me now
If I didn’t know better I’d think you were still around
What died didn’t stay dead
Never be so polite you forget your power
Nevеr wield such power you forget to be polite
I should’ve asked you questions
Should’ve kept every grocery store receipt cause every scrap of you would be taken from me
I know better but you’re still around
I still feel you all around
It’s been a long time and seeing the shape of your name still spells out pain
I don’t need your closure
Don’t treat me like some situation that needs to be handled
I’m fine with my spite and my tears, and my beers and my candles
I know I’m just a wrinkle in your new life
Staying friends would iron it out so nice
Gray November, I’ve been down since July
I replay my footsteps on each stepping stone trying to find the one where I went wrong
I had a feeling so peculiar that this pain would be for evermore
Guess I’m feeling unmoored
Can’t remember what I used to fight for
Can’t not think of all the cost and the things that will be lost
To be certain, we’ll be tall again
Is there a line that I could just go cross?
And when I was shipwrecked I thought of you
It was real enough to get me through
I had a feeling so peculiar, this pain wouldn’t be for evermore
