taylor swift lyrics, the tortured poets department edition, part two
▸ my boredom's bone-deep.
▸ am i allowed to cry?
▸ i'm seeing visions, am i bad? or mad? or wise?
▸ one slip and i'm falling back into the hedge maze.
▸ oh, what a way to die.
▸ i keep recalling things we never did.
▸ how i long for our trysts.
▸ how can i be guilty as sin?
▸ i keep these longings locked inside a vault.
▸ someone told me there's no such things as bad thoughts, only your actions talk.
▸ they're gonna crucify me anway.
▸ what if they way you hold me is actually what's holy?
▸ i choose you and me religiously.
who's afraid of little old me?
▸ the "who's who?`" of "who's that?" is poised for the attack.
▸ you don't get to tell me about 'sad'.
▸ if you wanted me dead, you should've just said. nothing makes me feel more alive.
▸ who's afraid of little old me? you should be.
▸ the scandal was contained, the bullet had just grazed.
▸ at all costs, keep your good name.
▸ you don't get to tell me you feel bad.
▸ is it a wonder i broke?
▸ let's hear one more joke. then we could all just laugh until i cry.
▸ i was tame, i was gentle till the circus life made me mean.
▸ they say they didn't do it to hurt me but what if they did?
▸ i want to snarl and show you just how disturbed this has made me.
▸ you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me.
▸ isn't that what they all said? that i'm fearsome and i'm wretched and i'm wrong.
▸ you lured me and you hurt me and you taught me.
▸ you caged me and then you called me crazy.
▸ i am what i am 'cause you trained me.
i can fix him (no really i can)
▸ the jokes that [you/they] told across the bar were revolting and far too loud.
▸ they shake their heads, saying "god help [them]" when i tell 'em you're the one.
▸ i can fix him, no really i can. and only i can.
▸ i could see it from a mile away.
▸ you had a halo of the highest grade, you just hadn't met met yet.
▸ come close, i'll show you heaven if you'll be an angel all night.
▸ trust me, i can handle me a dangerous [man/woman].
▸ we were just kids, babe.
▸ i don't mind, it takes time.
▸ i thought i was better safe than starry-eyed.
▸ i felt aglow like this. never before and never since.
▸ you and i went from one kiss to getting married.
▸ you said i'm the love of your life about a million times.
▸ a conman sells a fool a get-love-quick scheme.
▸ i felt a hole like this never before and ever since.
▸ what we thought was for all time was momentary.
▸ i wish i could un-recall how we almost had it all.
▸ the coward claimed he was a lion.
▸ i'll still see it until i die. you're the loss of my life.
i can do it with a broken heart
▸ i can show you lies.
▸ i'm a real tough kid, i can handle my shit.
▸ they said 'you gotta fake it 'til you make it' and i did.
▸ you said you'd love me all your life but that life was too short.
▸ i can do it with a broken heart.
▸ i'm so depressed, i act like it's my birthday every day.
▸ i cry a lot but i am so productive, it's an art.
▸ you know you're good when you can even do it with a broken heart.
▸ i can hold my breath, i've been doing it since [you/they] left.
▸ i'm miserable and nobody even knows!
the smallest man who ever lived
▸ was any of it true?
▸ now you know what it feels like.
▸ i don't miss what we had.
▸ in public, you showed me off then sank in stoned oblivion.
▸ you didn't measure up in any measure of a man.
▸ were you sent by someone who wanted me dead?
▸ good riddance 'cause it wasn't sexy once it wasn't forbidden.
▸ i would've died for your sins. instead i just died inside.
▸ in plain sight you hid but you are what you did.
▸ i'll forget you but i'll never forgive.
▸ this happens once every few lifetimes.
▸ these chemicals hit me like white wine.
▸ what if i told you i'm back?
▸ the hospital was a drag. worst sleep i ever had.
▸ ditch the clowns, get the crown.
▸ what if i told you we're cool?
▸ honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?
▸ where's the trophy?
▸ all your life, did you know you'd be picked like a rose?
▸ i'm not trying to exaggerate but i think i might die.
▸ this town is fake but you're the real thing.
▸ take the glory, give everything.
▸ promise to be dazzling.
▸ you're the new god we're worshipping.
▸ beauty is a beast that roars down on all fours, demanding more.
▸ it's hell on earth to be heavenly.
▸ them's the breaks, they don't come gently.
