LONG LIVE THE COUNTRY-GIRL
"Oh, I remember you, driving to my house in the middle of the night, I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're about to cry. I know your favourite songs, and you tell my about your dreams, think I know...."
You Belong With Me (Fearless)
"Hey, hey, hey
Just think, while you've been getting down and out about the liars and the dirty, dirty cheats of the world, you could've been getting down to this sick beat.."
Shake It Off (1989)
"I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, because she's dead.."
Look What You Made Me Do (Reputation)
"And you say I abandoned the ship, but I was going down with it. My white knuckle dying grip, holding tight to your quiet resentment. And my friends said it isn't right to be scared, every day of a love affair. Every breath feels like rarest air. When you're not sure if he wants to be there.."
So Long, London (The Tortured Poets Department)
"And you call me up again just to break me like a promise. So casually cruel in the name of being honest. I'm a crumpled-up piece of paper lying here..."
All Too Well "10 Minutes version" (Red)
"Well, you stood there with me in the doorway. My hands shake, I'm not usually this way but. You pull me in, and I'm a little more brave. It's the first kiss, it's flawless, really something It's..."
Fearless (Fearless)
"You'll see me in hindsight, tangled up with you all night, burning it down. Someday when you leave me, I bet these memories, follow you around..."
Wildest Dreams (1989)
"And you want to scream, Don't call me "kid", don't call me "baby". Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me. You showed me colours you know I can't see with anyone else..."
Illicit Affairs (Folklore)
"Were you sent by someone, who wanted me dead? Did you sleep with a gun underneath our bed? Were you writing a book? Were you a sleeper cell spy? In 50 years will all this be declassified? And you'll confess why you did it. And I'll say, "Good riddance"..."
The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived (The Tortured Poets Department)
"I'll tell you something about my good name, it's mine alone to disgrace, I don't cater to all these vipers dressed in empath's clothing.
God save the most judgmental creeps, who say they want what's best for me, sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I'll never see..."
But Daddy I Love Him (The Tortured Poets Department)
"And I can see you years from now in a bar, talking over a football game. With that same big loud opinion, but nobody's listening. Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things. Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing..."
Mean (Speak Now)
"Ugh, so he calls me up, and he's like, "I still love you". And I'm like, I'm just, I mean, this is exhausting. You know, like we... Like, ever..."
We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together (Red)
"Your Midas touch on the Chevy door, November flush and your flannel cure. "This dorm was once a madhouse", I made a joke, "Well it's made for me". How evergreen, our group of friends, don't think we'll say that word again. And soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls, that we once walked through..."
Champagne Problems (Evermore)
"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. So all you kids can sneak into my house, with all the cobwebs. I'm always drunk on my own tears, isn't that what they all said? That I'll sue you, if you step on my lawn..."
Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? (The Tortured Poets Department)
"Ask me what I learned from all those years, ask me what I earned from all those tears, ask me why so many fade, but I'm still here..."
Karma (Midnights)
"Maybe this is wishful thinking. Probably mindless dreaming. But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right. I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't. So if the chain is on your door, I understand..."
Back To December (Speak Now)
"I'm drunk in the back of the car, and I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh). Said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true, I don't want to keep secrets just to keep you..."
Cruel Summer (Lover)
"And I can go anywhere I want, anywhere I want, just not home. And you can aim for my heart, go for blood, but you would still miss me in your bones. And I still talk to you (when I'm screaming at the sky). And when you can't sleep at night (you hear my stolen lullabies)..."
My Tears Ricochet (Folklore)
"What if I roll the stone away? They're going to crucify me anyway. What if the way you hold me is actually what's holy? If long suffering propriety is what they want from me. They don't know how you've haunted me so stunningly. I choose you and me. ...Religiously..."
Guilty as Sin? (The Tortured Poets Department)
"And I sound like an infant, feeling like the very last drops of an ink pen. A greater woman stays cool, but I howl like a wolf at the moon. And I look unstable, gathered with a coven round a sorceress' table. A greater woman has faith, but even statues crumble if they're made to wait..."
The Prophecy (The Tortured Poets Department)
"And I'm back for the first time since then I'm standing on your street. And there's a letter left on your doorstep. And the first thing that you'll read, is when you think ...."
Tim McGraw (Taylor Swift)
"...Our songs, our films, united we stand. Our country, guess it was a lawless land. Quit my fears with the touch of your hand. Paper cut stings from our paper thin plans..."
Death By A Thousand Cuts (Lover)
"From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes, I gave my blood, sweat, and tears for this. I hosted parties and starved my bode, like I'd be saved by a perfect kiss. The jokes weren't funny, I took the money, my friends from home don't know what to say. I looked around in a blood-soaked gown..."
You're On Your Own Kid (Midnights)
"Six weeks of breathing clean air, I still miss the smoke. Were you making fun of me with some esoteric joke? Now I want to sell my house and set fire to all my clothes. And hire a priest to come and exorcise my demons..."
The Black Dog (The Tortured Poets Department)
"They aren't going to help us, too busy helping themselves. They aren't going to change this, we got to do it ourselves. They think that it's over, but it's just begun. Only one thing can save us..."
Only The Young (featured in "Miss Americana" / A single)
