The following is a collection of lyric sentence starters from Taylor Swiftâs ninth studio album evermore. May contain mature subject matter.
Iâm 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 faceÂ
Lost in your current like a priceless wineÂ
The more that you say, the less I knowÂ
Wherever you stray, I followÂ
Iâm begging for you to take my handÂ
I can feel you sneakinâ inÂ
There was one prize Iâd cheat to winÂ
They count me out time and time againÂ
I come back stronger than a â90s trendÂ
Wait for the signal, and Iâll meet you after darkÂ
Iâll meet you after darkÂ
Show me the places where the others gave you scarsÂ
This is an open-shut caseÂ
I should'a known from the look on your faceÂ
You booked the night train for a reason
Your heart was glass, I dropped itÂ
You told your family for a reasonÂ
You dropped my hand while dancing, left meâoutâthereâstandingÂ
Love slipped beyond your reaches and I couldnât give a reasonÂ
This dorm was once a madhouse
Well, itâs made for meÂ
Soon theyâll have the nerve to deck the halls that we once walked throughÂ
I never was ready so I watch you goÂ
She wouldâve made such a lovely bride, what a shame sheâs fucked in the head
Sometimes you just donât know the answer til someoneâs on their knees and asks youÂ
You wonât remember all my champagne problems
I donât like a gold rush
I donât like that anyone would die to feel your touchÂ
Everybody wonders what it would be like to love youÂ
What must it be like to grow up that beautiful?Â
I canât dare to dream about you anymoreÂ
My mind turns your life into folkloreÂ
I wonât call you out on your contrarian shitÂ
If I wanted to know who you were hanging with while I was gone, I would have asked you
Thereâs an ache in you, put there by the ache in meÂ
But if itâs all the same to you itâs the same to meÂ
You could call me âbabeâ for the weekendÂ
Remember how you watched me leave
You can run, but only so farÂ
And the road not taken looks real good nowÂ
Hear me out, we could just ride aroundÂ
The road not taken looks real good now and it always leads to you in my hometownÂ
I wonât ask you to wait if you donât ask me to stayÂ
I wonder about the only soul who can tell which smiles Iâm fakin'Â
The heart I know Iâm breakinâ is my own
Even though Iâm leavinâ and Iâll be yours for the weekendÂ
I notice everything you do or donât do
Youâre so much older and wiserÂ
If itâs all in my head tell me nowÂ
Tell me Iâve got it wrong somehowÂ
I know my love should be celebrated but you tolerate itÂ
I take your indiscretions all in good funÂ
I made you my temple, my mural, my sky - now Iâm begging for footnotes in the story of your lifeÂ
Iâm begging for footnotes in the story of your lifeÂ
You assume Iâm fine, but what would you do if I break free and leave us in ruins?
Believe me, I could do itÂ
Her husbandâs actinâ different, and it smells like infidelityÂ
That ainât my merlot on his mouth. That ainât my jewelry on our joint accountÂ
I think Iâm gonna call him outÂ
No, there ainât no doubtÂ
I think he did it, but I just canât prove itÂ
I ainât lettinâ up until the day I dieÂ
Good thing my daddy made me get a boating license when I was fifteenÂ
Iâve cleaned enough houses to know how to cover up a sceneÂ
They think she did it, but they just canât prove itÂ
Good thing his mistress took out a big life insurance policyÂ
I wasnât lettinâ up until the day he diedÂ
I see this for what it is
Allâ
the years Iâve given is just shitâ
weâre dividinâ upÂ
I canât face reinventionÂ
Thereâll be happiness after youÂ
There was happiness because of youÂ
Haunted by the look in my eyes that wouldâve loved you for a lifetimeÂ
Tell me, when did your winning smile begin to look like a smirk?Â
I hope sheâll be your beautiful fool, who takes my spot next to youÂ
No, I didnât mean thatÂ
Sorry, I canât see facts through all of my fury
You havenât met the new me yetÂ
Thereâll be happiness after me
There was happiness because of meÂ
I canât make it go away by making you a villainÂ
I pulled your body into mine every goddamn night, now I get fake nicetiesÂ
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 forgivenessÂ
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 havenât met the new me yet and I think sheâll give you that
Do you ever stop and think about me?
A tiny screenâs 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 donât like it that wayÂ
Itâs never too late to come back to my sideÂ
You'rĐľ a queen sellinâ dreams, sellinâ makeup and magazinesÂ
From you Iâd buy anythingÂ
But are you still the same soul I met under the bleachers?Â
I guess Iâll never knowÂ
If youâre ever tired of being known for who you know, youâll always know me.
If I canât relate to you anymore then who am I related to?
And if this is the long haul howâd we get here so soon?Â
Did I close my fist around something delicate?
Sorry for not making you my centerfoldÂ
Whatâs 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 youâre too wise to trust me and too old to care?Â
We were like the mall before the internetÂ
Were you waiting at our old spot: in the tree line by the gold clock?
Did I leave you hanging every single day?Â
When I got into the accident the sight that flashed before me was your faceÂ
Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow, tarnished but so grand
I just sit here and wait, grieving for the livingÂ
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing handÂ
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand taking mine, but itâs been promised to anotherÂ
Stop you putting roots in my dreamlandÂ
I wish to know the fatal flaw that makes you long to be magnificently cursedÂ
Your opal eyes are all I wish to seeÂ
Iâd live and die for moments that we stoleÂ
What would he do if he found us out?Â
Dare to sit and watch what weâll becomeÂ
Itâs a goddamn blaze in the dark and you started itÂ
Itâs the goddamn fight of my life and you started it
Dancinâ is a dangerous game
Iâm never gonna love againÂ
Iâve got some tricks up my sleeveÂ
Never wanted love, just a fancy carÂ
Youâre a cowboy like meÂ
Iâm telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hearÂ
Youâre a bandit like meÂ
Never thought Iâd meet you hereÂ
We could be the way forward and I know Iâll pay for itÂ
The skeletons in both our closets plotted hard to fuck this up
The old men that Iâve swindled really did believe I was the oneÂ
Now you hang from my lips like the Gardens of BabylonÂ
Forever is the sweetest con
I tried to pick my battles âtil the battle picked me
I was in the alley, surrounded on all sidesÂ
Long story short, it was a bad timeÂ
If the shoe fits, walk in it âtil your high heels breakÂ
I clung to the nearest lips and long story short, it was the wrong guyÂ
Actually, I always felt I must look better in the rear view - missing me.
If someone comes at us, this time, Iâm readyÂ
No more keepinâ score, now I just keep you warmÂ
Past me, I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty thingsÂ
Your nemeses will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swingÂ
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 didnât know better Iâd think you were talking to me now
If I didnât know better Iâd think you were still aroundÂ
Youâre alive in my headÂ
What died didnât stay deadÂ
Youâre alive, so aliveÂ
Never be so polite you forget your power
NevĐľr wield such power you forget to be politeÂ
I shouldâve asked you questionsÂ
Shouldâve kept every grocery store receipt cause every scrap of you would be taken from meÂ
I know better but youâre still aroundÂ
I still feel you all around
Itâs been a long time and seeing the shape of your name still spells out pain
I donât need your closureÂ
Donât treat me like some situation that needs to be handledÂ
Iâm fine with my spite and my tears, and my beers and my candlesÂ
I know Iâm just a wrinkle in your new lifeÂ
Staying friends would iron it out so niceÂ
Gray November, Iâve been down since July
I replay my footsteps on each stepping stone trying to find the one where I went wrongÂ
I had a feeling so peculiar that this pain would be for evermoreÂ
Guess Iâm feeling unmooredÂ
Canât remember what I used to fight forÂ
Canât not think of all the cost and the things that will be lostÂ
To be certain, weâll be tall againÂ
Is there a line that I could just go cross?Â
And when I was shipwrecked I thought of youÂ
It was real enough to get me throughÂ
I had a feeling so peculiar, this pain wouldnât be for evermore
