The following is a collection of lyric sentence starters from Taylor Swiftโs ninth studio album evermore. May contain mature subject matter.
Iโm 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 faceย
Lost in your current like a priceless wineย
The more that you say, the less I knowย
Wherever you stray, I followย
Iโm begging for you to take my handย
I can feel you sneakinโ inย
There was one prize Iโd cheat to winย
They count me out time and time againย
I come back stronger than a โ90s trendย
Wait for the signal, and Iโll meet you after darkย
Iโll meet you after darkย
Show me the places where the others gave you scarsย
This is an open-shut caseย
I should'a known from the look on your faceย
You booked the night train for a reason
Your heart was glass, I dropped itย
You told your family for a reasonย
You dropped my hand while dancing, left meโoutโthereโstandingย
Love slipped beyond your reaches and I couldnโt give a reasonย
This dorm was once a madhouse
Well, itโs made for meย
Soon theyโll have the nerve to deck the halls that we once walked throughย
I never was ready so I watch you goย
She wouldโve made such a lovely bride, what a shame sheโs fucked in the head
Sometimes you just donโt know the answer til someoneโs on their knees and asks youย
You wonโt remember all my champagne problems
I donโt like a gold rush
I donโt like that anyone would die to feel your touchย
Everybody wonders what it would be like to love youย
What must it be like to grow up that beautiful?ย
I canโt dare to dream about you anymoreย
My mind turns your life into folkloreย
I wonโt call you out on your contrarian shitย
If I wanted to know who you were hanging with while I was gone, I would have asked you
Thereโs an ache in you, put there by the ache in meย
But if itโs all the same to you itโs the same to meย
You could call me โbabeโ for the weekendย
Remember how you watched me leave
You can run, but only so farย
And the road not taken looks real good nowย
Hear me out, we could just ride aroundย
The road not taken looks real good now and it always leads to you in my hometownย
I wonโt ask you to wait if you donโt ask me to stayย
I wonder about the only soul who can tell which smiles Iโm fakin'ย
The heart I know Iโm breakinโ is my own
Even though Iโm leavinโ and Iโll be yours for the weekendย
I notice everything you do or donโt do
Youโre so much older and wiserย
If itโs all in my head tell me nowย
Tell me Iโve got it wrong somehowย
I know my love should be celebrated but you tolerate itย
I take your indiscretions all in good funย
I made you my temple, my mural, my sky - now Iโm begging for footnotes in the story of your lifeย
Iโm begging for footnotes in the story of your lifeย
You assume Iโm fine, but what would you do if I break free and leave us in ruins?
Believe me, I could do itย
Her husbandโs actinโ different, and it smells like infidelityย
That ainโt my merlot on his mouth. That ainโt my jewelry on our joint accountย
I think Iโm gonna call him outย
No, there ainโt no doubtย
I think he did it, but I just canโt prove itย
I ainโt lettinโ up until the day I dieย
Good thing my daddy made me get a boating license when I was fifteenย
Iโve cleaned enough houses to know how to cover up a sceneย
They think she did it, but they just canโt prove itย
Good thing his mistress took out a big life insurance policyย
I wasnโt lettinโ up until the day he diedย
I see this for what it is
Allโ
the years Iโve given is just shitโ
weโre dividinโ upย
I canโt face reinventionย
Thereโll be happiness after youย
There was happiness because of youย
Haunted by the look in my eyes that wouldโve loved you for a lifetimeย
Tell me, when did your winning smile begin to look like a smirk?ย
I hope sheโll be your beautiful fool, who takes my spot next to youย
No, I didnโt mean thatย
Sorry, I canโt see facts through all of my fury
You havenโt met the new me yetย
Thereโll be happiness after me
There was happiness because of meย
I canโt make it go away by making you a villainย
I pulled your body into mine every goddamn night, now I get fake nicetiesย
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 forgivenessย
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 havenโt met the new me yet and I think sheโll give you that
Do you ever stop and think about me?
A tiny screenโs 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 donโt like it that wayย
Itโs never too late to come back to my sideย
You'rะต a queen sellinโ dreams, sellinโ makeup and magazinesย
From you Iโd buy anythingย
But are you still the same soul I met under the bleachers?ย
I guess Iโll never knowย
If youโre ever tired of being known for who you know, youโll always know me.
If I canโt relate to you anymore then who am I related to?
And if this is the long haul howโd we get here so soon?ย
Did I close my fist around something delicate?
Sorry for not making you my centerfoldย
Whatโs 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 youโre too wise to trust me and too old to care?ย
We were like the mall before the internetย
Were you waiting at our old spot: in the tree line by the gold clock?
Did I leave you hanging every single day?ย
When I got into the accident the sight that flashed before me was your faceย
Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow, tarnished but so grand
I just sit here and wait, grieving for the livingย
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing handย
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand taking mine, but itโs been promised to anotherย
Stop you putting roots in my dreamlandย
I wish to know the fatal flaw that makes you long to be magnificently cursedย
Your opal eyes are all I wish to seeย
Iโd live and die for moments that we stoleย
What would he do if he found us out?ย
Dare to sit and watch what weโll becomeย
Itโs a goddamn blaze in the dark and you started itย
Itโs the goddamn fight of my life and you started it
Dancinโ is a dangerous game
Iโm never gonna love againย
Iโve got some tricks up my sleeveย
Never wanted love, just a fancy carย
Youโre a cowboy like meย
Iโm telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hearย
Youโre a bandit like meย
Never thought Iโd meet you hereย
We could be the way forward and I know Iโll pay for itย
The skeletons in both our closets plotted hard to fuck this up
The old men that Iโve swindled really did believe I was the oneย
Now you hang from my lips like the Gardens of Babylonย
Forever is the sweetest con
I tried to pick my battles โtil the battle picked me
I was in the alley, surrounded on all sidesย
Long story short, it was a bad timeย
If the shoe fits, walk in it 'til your high heels breakย
I clung to the nearest lips and long story short, it was the wrong guyย
Actually, I always felt I must look better in the rear view - missing me.
If someone comes at us, this time, Iโm readyย
No more keepinโ score, now I just keep you warmย
Past me, I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty thingsย
Your nemeses will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swingย
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 didnโt know better Iโd think you were talking to me now
If I didnโt know better Iโd think you were still aroundย
Youโre alive in my headย
What died didnโt stay deadย
Youโre alive, so aliveย
Never be so polite you forget your power
Nevะตr wield such power you forget to be politeย
I shouldโve asked you questionsย
Shouldโve kept every grocery store receipt cause every scrap of you would be taken from meย
I know better but youโre still aroundย
I still feel you all around
Itโs been a long time and seeing the shape of your name still spells out pain
I donโt need your closureย
Donโt treat me like some situation that needs to be handledย
Iโm fine with my spite and my tears, and my beers and my candlesย
I know Iโm just a wrinkle in your new lifeย
Staying friends would iron it out so niceย
Gray November, Iโve been down since July
I replay my footsteps on each stepping stone trying to find the one where I went wrongย
I had a feeling so peculiar that this pain would be for evermoreย
Guess Iโm feeling unmooredย
Canโt remember what I used to fight forย
Canโt not think of all the cost and the things that will be lostย
To be certain, weโll be tall againย
Is there a line that I could just go cross?ย
And when I was shipwrecked I thought of youย
It was real enough to get me throughย
I had a feeling so peculiar, this pain wouldnโt be for evermore
