Perspective's Sentence Starters; The Tortured Poets Department by Taylor Swift (Part I)
I was supposed to be sent away.
They forgot to come and get me.
I was a functioning alcoholic.
Nobody noticed my new aesthetic.
All of this to say, I hope you're okay.
What about your quiet treason?
For a fortnight there we were forever running.
You're in my backyard turned into good neighbors.
All my mornings are Monday stuck in an endless February.
The effects were temporary.
I love you, it's ruining my life.
I touched you for only a fortnight.
I call you up but you won't pick up.
Another fortnight lost in America.
THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT
You left your typewriter at my apartment.
Who uses typewriters anyway?
You're in self-sabotage mode.
Who's gonna hold you like me?
Who's gonna know you if not me?
You smokеd then ate seven bars of chocolate.
I chose this cyclone with you.
Sometimes I wonder if you're gonna screw this up with me.
Everyone we know understands why it's meant to be.
That's the closest I've come to my heart exploding.
MY BOY ONLY BREAKS HIS FAVORITE TOYS
You should've seen him when he first got me.
My boy only breaks his favorite toys.
I should've known it was a matter of time.
There was a litany of reasons why we could've playеd for keeps this time.
I know I'm just repeating mysеlf.
He runs because he loves me.
'Cause you should've seen him when he first saw me
There was danger in the heat of my touch.
He saw forever so he smashed it up.
Once I fix me, he's gonna miss me
I felt more when we played pretend.
He took me out of my box, stole my tortured heart
Told me I'm better off, but I'm not.
Did you really beam me up?
Tell me I was the chosen one.
For a moment I knew cosmic love.
Now I'm down bad, crying at the gym.
Everything comes out teenage petulance.
Fuck it if I can't have him
I might just die, it would make no difference.
Come back and pick me up.
Fuck it if I can't have us.
Did you take all my old clothes?
They'll say I'm nuts if I talk about the existence of you.
For a moment, I was heavenstruck.
I loved your hostile take-overs.
I'll build you a fort on some planet where they can all understand it.
How dare you think it's romantic leaving me safe and stranded?
Cause fuck it, I was in love.
Fuck you if I can't have us.
Pulled him in tighter each time he was drifting away.
My spine split from carrying us up the hill.
I stopped trying to make him laugh.
How much sad did you think I had?
Did you think I had in me?
I didn't opt in to be your odd man out..
I founded the club she's heard great things about.
I'm pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free.
You say I abandoned the ship, but I was going down with it.
My white knuckle dying grip holding tight to your quiet resentment.
My friends said it isn't right to be scared.
Every breath feels like rarest air.
Just how low did you think I'd go before I'd self implode?
You swore that you loved me but where were the clues?
I died on the altar waiting for the proof.
You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days.
I'm just getting color back into my face.
I'm just mad as hell cause I loved this place for.
I forget how the west was won.
I forget if this was ever fun.
I just learned these people only raise you to cage you.
I just learned these people try and save you 'cause they hate you.
Too high a horse for a simple girl to rise above it.
They slammed the door on my whole world.
No, I'm not, but you should see your faces
No, I'm not coming to my senses.
I know it's crazy, but he's the one I want.
Growing up precocious sometimes means not growing up at all.
You're this chaos, he was revelry.
Lord knows the words we never heard.
I'd rather burn my whole life down than listen to one more second of all this bitchin' and moanin'.
I'll tell you something 'bout my good name, it's mine along with all the disgrace.
God save the most judgmental creeps who say they want what's best for me.
Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I'll never see.
You ain't gotta pray for me.
There's a lot of people in town that I bestow upon my fakest smiles.
Scandal does funny things to pride but brings lovers closer.
We came back when the heat died down.
Went to my parents and they came around.
All the wine moms are still holding out.
Even my daddy just loves him.
Oh my god, you should see your faces.
I know it's crazy but he's the one I love.
I'm running back home to you.
I know who my first call will be to.
Handcuffed to the spell I was under.
But it's gonna be alright.
Toss the ashes off the ledge.
I will never lose my baby again.
My friends tried, but I wouldn't hear it.
Watched me daily disappearing for just one glimpse of his smile.
All those nights you kept me goin'.
Swirled you into all of my poems.
Now we're at the starting line.
No matter what I've done, it wouldn't matter anyway.
Ain't no way I'm gonna screw up, now that I know what's at stake here.
You can beat the heat if you beat the charges too.
They said I was a cheat, I guess it must be true.
My friends all smell like weed or little babies.
The city reeks of driving myself crazy.
Your home's really only a town you're just a guest in.
I got drunk and I dared it to wash me away.
Well, mе and my ghosts, we had a hell of a time.
Yеs, I'm haunted, but I'm feeling just fine.
Well, no one asks any questions here.
So I did my best to lay to rest all of the bodies that have ever been on my body.
Is that a bad thing to say in a song?
Tell me I'm despicable, say it's unforgivable.
At least the dolls are beautiful, fuck me up, Florida
I need to forget, so take me to Florida
What a crash, what a rush.
