Taylor Swift - Fearless (2008)

Tell Me Why
I took a chance, i took a shot
and you might think i'm bulletproof, but i'm not
you took a swing, i took it hard
and down here from the ground i see who you are
I'm sick and tired of your attitude
I'm feeling like i don't know you
you tell me that you love me then you cut me down
and i need you like a heartbeat
but you know you got a mean streak
makes me run for cover when you're around
and here's to you and your temper
yes, i remember what you said last night
and i know that you see what you're doing to me
tell me why..
You could write a book on how to ruin someone's perfect day
well i get so confused and frustrated
forget what i'm trying to say, oh
I'm sick and tired of your reasons
I got no one to believe in
you tell me that you want me, then push me around
and i need you like a heartbeat
but you know you got a mean streak
makes me run for cover when you're around
here's to you and your temper
yes, i remember what you said last night
and i know that you see what you're doing to me
tell me why..
why..do you have to make me feel small
so you can feel whole inside
why..do you have to put down my dreams
so you're the only thing on my mind
i'm sick and tired of your attitude
i'm feeling like i don't know you
you tell me that you want me then cut me down
i'm sick and tired of your reasons
i've got no one to believe in
you ask me for my love then you push me around
here's to you and your temper
yes, i remember what you said last night
and i know that you see what you're doing to me
tell me why
why, tell me why
i take a step back, let you go
i told you i'm not bulletproof
now you know

The Way I Loved You
He is sensible and so incredible
And all my single friends are jealous
He says everything I need to hear and it’s like
I couldn’t ask for anything better
He opens up my door and I get into his car
And he says you look beautiful tonight
And I feel perfectly fine
But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it’s 2am and I’m cursing your name
You’re so in love that you act insane
And that’s the way I loved you
Breakin’ down and coming undone
It’s a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that’s the way I loved you
He respects my space
And never makes me wait
And he calls exactly when he says he will
He’s close to my mother
Talks business with my father
He’s charming and endearing
And I’m comfortable
But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it’s 2am and I’m cursing your name
You’re so in love that you act insane
And that’s the way I loved you
Breakin’ down and coming undone
It’s a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that’s the way I loved you
He can’t see the smile I’m faking
And my heart’s not breaking
Cause I’m not feeling anything at all
And you were wild and crazy
Just so frustrating intoxicating
Complicated, got away by some mistake and now
I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
It’s 2am and I’m cursing your name
I’m so in love that I acted insane
And that’s the way I loved you
Breaking down and coming undone
It’s a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that’s the way I loved you oh, oh
And that’s the way I loved you oh, oh
Never knew I could feel that much
And that’s the way I loved you

The Best Day
I’m five years old
It’s getting cold
I’ve got my big coat on
I hear your laugh
And look up smiling at you
I run and run
Past the pumpkin patch
And the tractor rides
Look now — the sky is gold
I hug your legs and fall asleep
On the way home
I don’t know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you’re not scared of anything at all
Don’t know if Snow White’s house is near or far away
But I know I had the best day
With you today
I’m thirteen now
And don’t know how my friends
Could be so mean
I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys
And we drive and drive
Until we’ve found a town
Far enough away
And we talk and window-shop
Until I’ve forgotten all their names
I don’t know who I’m gonna talk to
Now at school
I know I’m laughing on the car ride home with you
Don’t know how long it’s gonna take to feel okay
But I know I had the best day
With you today
I have an excellent father
His strength is making me stronger
God smiles on my little brother
Inside and out
He’s better than I am
I grew up in a pretty house
And I had space to run
And I had the best days with you
There is a video
I found from back when I was three
You set up a paint set in the kitchen
And you’re talking to me
It’s the age of princesses and pirate ships
And the seven dwarfs
Daddy’s smart
And you’re the prettiest lady in the whole wide world
Now I know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you were on my side
Even when I was wrong
And I love you for giving me your eyes
Staying back and watching me shine
And I didn’t know if you knew
So I’m taking this chance to say
That I had the best day
With you today

Mine

You were in college working part-time, waiting tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was a flight risk, with a fear of falling
Wondering why we’d bother with love, if it never lasts
I say can you believe it
As we’re lying on a couch
The moment I can see it
Yes, yes
I can see it now
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
Fast forward and we’re taking on the world together
And there’s a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I’m guarded
You say we’ll never make my parent’s mistakes
We got bills to pay
We got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take
Yes, yes
This is what I thought about
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
Do you remember all the city lights on the water
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
And I remember that fight, 2:30 am
Cause everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
Braced myself for the goodbye
‘Cause it’s all I’ve ever known
Then you took me by surprise
You said I’ll never leave you alone
You said
I remember how we felt sitting by the water
And everytime I look at you it’s like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man’s careful daughter
She is the best thing that’s ever been mine
Hold on
Make it last
Hold on
Never turn back
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
Yeah, do you believe it?
We’re gonna make it now
And I can see it
I can see it now

Speak Now 2010

Back to December
I’m so glad you made time to see me
How’s life? Tell me, how’s your family?
I haven’t seen them in a while
You’ve been good; busier than ever
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up and I know why
Cause the last time you saw me
Is still burn in the back of your mind
You gave me roses and I left them there to die
So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying
I’m sorry for that night.
And I go back to December all the time,
It turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missin’ you
Wishing I’d realized what I had when you were mine
And I go back to December, turn around and make it all right
I go back to December all the time
These days I haven’t been sleepin’,
Stayin’ up playing back myself leavin’,
When your birthday passed
And I didn’t call. Then I think about summer,
All the beautiful times.
I watched you laughin’ from the passenger side
And realized I loved you in the fall
And then the cold came,
With the dark days when the fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love
And all I gave you was goodbye
So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying
I’m sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time,
It turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missin’ you
Wishing I’d realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time
I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile,
So good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms
That September night;
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
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
But this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying
I’m sorry for that night
And I go back to December,
It turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missin’ you
Wishing I’d realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it all right
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time

Dear John
Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
Counting my footsteps praying the floor won’t fall through again
And my mother accused me of losing my mind
But I swore I was fine
You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain
And I lived in your chess game
But you changed the rules everyday
Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone
Tonight
Well I stopped picking up and this song is to let you know why
Dear John, I see it all now that you’re gone
Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
I should’ve known
Well maybe it’s me and my blind optimism to blame
Or maybe it’s you and your sick need to give love then take it away
And you’ll add my name to your long list of traitors who don’t understand
And I’ll look back and regret how I ignored when they said
Run as fast as you can
Dear John, I see it all now that you’re gone
Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
Dear John, I see it all now it was wrong
Don’t you think 19′s too young to be played by
Your dark twisted games when I loved you so
I should’ve known
You are an expert at sorry
And keeping lines blurry
Never impressed by me acing your tests
All the girls that you’ve run dry
Have tired, lifeless eyes
Cause you burned them out
But I took your matches before fire could catch me
So don’t look now
I’m shining like fireworks
Over your sad empty town
Dear John, I see it all now that you’re gone
Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
I see it all now that you’re gone
Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with
The girl in the dress wrote you a song
You should’ve known
You should’ve known
Don’t you think I was too young
You should’ve known

The Story of Us
I used to think one day we’d tell the story of us
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
And people would say they’re the lucky ones
I used to know my place was the spot next to you
Now I’m searching the room for an empty seat
Cause lately I don’t even know what page you’re on
Oh, a simple complication, miscommunications lead to fall out
So many things that I wish you knew
So many walls up I can’t break through
Now I’m standing alone in a crowded room
And we’re not speaking
And I’m dying to know is it killing you like its killing me, yeah
I don’t know what to say since the twist of fate when it all broke down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
Next chapter
How’d we end up this way
See me nervously pulling at my clothes and trying to look busy
And you’re doing your best to avoid me
I’m starting to think one day I’ll tell the story of us
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
But you held your pride like you should’ve held me
Oh, I’m scared to see the ending, why are we pretending this is nothing
I’d tell you I miss you, but I don’t know how
I’ve never heard silence quite this loud
Now I’m standing alone in a crowded room
And we’re not speaking
And I’m dying to know is it killing you like its killing me, yeah
I don’t know what to say since the twist of fate when it all broke down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
This is looking like a contest of who can act like they care less
But I liked it better when you were on my side
The battles in your hands now
But I would lay my armor down if you said you’d rather love than fight
So many things that you wish I knew
But the story of us might be ending soon
Now I’m standing alone in a crowded room
And we’re not speaking
And I’m dying to know is it killing you like its killing me, yeah
I don’t know what to say since the twist of fate when it all broke down
The story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
Now, now
And we’re not speaking
And I’m dying to know is it killing you like its killing me, yeah
I don’t know what to say since the twist of fate cause we’re goin’ down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
The end

Better Than Revenge
Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did
The story starts when it was hot and it was summer and
I had it all, I had him right there where I wanted him
She came along, got him alone, and let’s hear the applause
She took him faster than you could say sabotage
I never saw it coming, wouldn’t have suspected it
I underestimated just who I was dealing with
She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum
She underestimated just who she was from stealing from
She’s not a saint, and she’s not what you think
She’s an actress, whoa
But she’s better known for the things that she does on the mattress
Whoa
Soon she’s gonna find stealing other peoples’ toys on the playground won’t make you many friends
She should keep in mind
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge
She looks at life like it’s a party and she’s on the list
She looks at me like I’m a trend and she’s so over it
I think her ever-present frown is a little troubling
She thinks I’m psycho cause I like to rhyme her name with things
But sophistication isn’t what you wear or who you know
Or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go
They didn’t teach you that in prep school so it’s up to me
That no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity
She’s not a saint, and she’s not what you think
She’s an actress, whoa
But she’s better known for the things that she does on the mattress
Whoa
Soon she’s gonna find stealing other peoples’ toys on the playground won’t make you many friends
She should keep in mind
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge
I’m just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
You might have him but haven’t you heard
I’m just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
You might have him but I always get the last word
Whoa
She’s not a saint, and she’s not what you think
She’s an actress, whoa
But she’s better known for the things that she does on the mattress
Whoa
Soon she’s gonna find stealing other peoples’ toys on the playground won’t make you many friends
She should keep in mind
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge
Do you still feel like you know what you’re doing
Cause I don’t think you do
Oh, do you still feel like you know what you’re doing
I don’t think you do, I don’t think you do
Let’s hear the applause
Come on show me how much better you are
See you deserve some applause
Cause you’re so much better
She took him faster than you could say sabotage

Haunted
You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I’d live to see it break
It’s getting dark and it’s all so quiet and I can’t trust anything now
And it’s coming over you like it’s all a big mistake
Oh, holding my breath
Won’t lose you again
Something’s made your eyes go cold
Come on, come on, don’t leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something’s gone terribly wrong
You’re all I wanted
Come on, come on, don’t leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can’t breathe whenever you’re gone
Can’t turn back now
I’m haunted
Stood there and watched you walk away from everything we had
But I still mean every word I said to you
He will try to take away my pain and he just might make me smile
But the whole time I’m wishing he was you instead
Oh, holding my breath
Won’t see you again
Something keeps me holding onto nothing
Come on, come on, don’t leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something’s gone terribly wrong
You’re all I wanted
Come on, come on, don’t leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can’t breathe whenever you’re gone
Can’t turn back now
I’m haunted
I know, I know
I just know
You’re not gone
You can’t be gone
No
Come on, come on, don’t leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something’s gone terribly wrong
Won’t finish what you started
Come on, come on, don’t leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can’t breathe whenever you’re gone
I can’t go back
I’m haunted
You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I’d see it break
Never thought I’d see it
