I love when she gets all poetic like this. 'You did a number on me, but honestly, baby, who's counting?' (So it Goes.) These lyrics are particularly heart-rending. Swift always does an incredible job of conveying the game-like nature of love. And I lived in your chess game, but you changed the rules every day.' (Dear John) 'You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain. ''Cause you know I love the players and you love the game.' (Blank Space) But I don't, I just sit here and wait, grieving for the living.' (Ivy) 'The old widow goes to the stone every day. This song, a moving tribute to health care workers during the pandemic, never fails to give me goosebumps. 'Only 20 minutes to sleep, but you dream of some epiphany.' (Epiphany) 'Old habits die screaming.' (The Black Dog) There's a reason this song gets Swift choked up.

'I hate to make this all about me, but who am I supposed to talk to? What am I supposed to do if there's no you?' (Soon You'll Get Better) This level of specificity is a vivid illustration of just how much she fears losing the love of her life. 'Please don't ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere.' (New Year's Day) 'A greater woman has faith, but even statues crumble if they're made to wait.' (The Prophecy) It can be all too easy to become so consumed in a relationship that you feel lost when it ends. 'If I can't relate to you anymore, then who am I related to?' (Coney Island) This is a deep, personal admission of making a grave mistake, which is never easy to own up to. 'It turns out freedom ain't nothin' but missing you.' (Back to December) Ah, the fleeting, deceptive nature of ephemeral love. 'Take the words for what they are: a dwindling, mercurial high a drug that only worked the first few hundred times.' (Illicit Affairs)

Symbolism is something Swift has always done quite well. Hoping it will end up in his pocket, but he leaves you out like a penny in the rain, oh, 'cause it's not his price to pay.' (Tied Together With a Smile) 'I guess it's true that love was all you wanted, 'cause you're giving it away like it's extra change. Moving on and forgetting isn't always easy. 'Time is taking its sweet time erasing you, and you've got your demons and darling, they all look like me.' (Sad Beautiful Tragic) Truer words on lost love have never been spoken. 'Just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it.' (Clean)

'You swore that you loved me but where were the clues? I died on the altar waiting for the proof.' (So Long, London) How does one come up with a line this poetic? 'I don't like that falling feels like flying 'til the bone crush.' (Gold Rush) Miss Swift sure knows how to tap into heartbreak.

I am still into you lyrics
