Taylor Swift Lyrics As Writing Prompts

Taylor Swift

Angst/Fight/Heartbreak

*But in a box beneath my bed

Is a letter that you never read

* I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me

*There’s nothing stopping me

From going out with all of your best friends

*And you come away with a great little story

Of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you

*Every smile you fake is so condescending counting all the scars you made

* You could’ve helped if you had wanted to

But no one notices until it’s too late to do anything

*And realized by the distance in your eyes that I would be the one to fall

Fluff/Comfort/Sappy

*And I know everything about you

I don’t wanna live without you

*I almost didn’t notice,All the roses

And the note that said…

* I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried

* I hope you think my favorite song

The one we danced to all night long

FEARLESS ( T.V)

Fluff/comfort/sappy

* I’ll hold you through the night until you smile

* After everything I must confess, I need you

* And you’ve got a smile

That could light up this whole town

* But there’s something in your eyes says we can beat this

Angst/Fight/Breakup

*And then you feel so low

You can’t feel nothing at all

*Was I out of line?

Did I say something way too honest?

Made you run and hide like a scared little boy

*Thought I knew you for a minute now I’m not so sure

*In the heat of the fight I walked away

Ignoring words that you were saying

Trying to make me stay

*Me and my stupid pride are sitting here alone

Going through the photographs, staring at the phone

* I was a dreamer before you went and let me down

* I see your face in my mind as I drive away

* But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain

And it’s 2 AM and I’m cursing your name

* it’s wonderful to see that it never phased you

SPEAK NOW

Fluff/Comfort/Sappy

* Braced myself for the “Goodbye”

‘Cause that’s all I’ve ever known

Then you took me by surprise

* You learn my secrets and you figure out why I’m guarded

* I’m on my guard for the rest of the world

But with you I know it’s no good

*The playful conversation starts

Counter all your quick remarks

Angst/Fight/Heartbreak

*Because the last time you saw me is still burned in the back of your mind

*So this is me swallowing my pride

*But if we loved again, I swear I’d love you right

*Don’t wait or say a single vow

You need to hear me out

* I stand up with shaky hands, all eyes on me

Horrified looks from everyone in the room

But I’m only looking at you

* Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with?

* Maybe it’s you and your sick need To give love then take it away

* I look back in regret

How I ignored when they said

“Run as fast as you can.”

* the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

* you held your pride like you should’ve held me

* 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

* Stood there and watched you walk away

From everything we had

*I’ll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep

And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe

* I never planned on you changing your mind

* it’s wonderful to see that it never phased you

RED ( T.V)

Smut/Romance

* Passionate as sin

* put your lips close to mine

* And I’ll do anything you say

If you say it with your hands

* It was the best night, never would forget how we moved

Angst/ Fight/ Heartbreak

*Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes

*I hear the sound of my own voice

Asking you to stay

*And all we are is skin and bone

Trained to get along

* I guess you didn’t care, and I guess I liked that

*And the saddest fear comes creeping in

* I’d like to be my old self again, but I’m still trying to find it

* Before you I’d only dated self-indulgent takers

Who took all of their problems out on me

*And for the first time I had something to lose

* time is taking its sweet time erasing you

* Kiss me, try to fix it, could you just try to listen?

* you don’t feel pretty, you just feel used

* What do you say

When tears are streaming down your face

In front of everyone you know

* I told myself, “Don’t get attached,”

* This is falling in love in the cruelest way

* You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath

* Not weeping in a party bathroom

Some actress asking me what happened, you

That’s what happened

* Just between us, did the love affair maim you, too?

Fluff/Comfort/ Sappy

*You almost ran the red 'cause you were looking over at me

*We’re dancing 'round the kitchen in the refrigerator light

*It feels like a perfect night for breakfast at midnight

*You took the time to memorize me:

My fears, my hopes, and dreams

* I don’t wanna dance if I’m not dancing with you

* your eyes look like coming home

* all I feel in my stomach is butterflies

The beautiful kind, making up for lost time

* A million little shining stars had just aligned

1989

Smut/Romance

*I could show you incredible things

Magic, madness, heaven, sin

*Lights are off, he’s taking off his coat,

*You stand with your hand on my waistline

*Ooh, your necklace hanging from my neck

The night we couldn’t quite forget

* 2 AM, here we are

See your face, hear my voice in the dark

* His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room

*You’ll see me in hindsight

Tangled up with you all night

Burnin’ it down

* every night with us is like a dream

Angst/Fight/Heartbreak

* You look like my next mistake

*But you’ll come back each time you leave

’Cause, darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream

*Loose lips sink ships all the damn time

*You’re still all over me

Like a wine-stained dress I can’t wear anymore

* I screamed so loud

But no one heard a thing

* Ten months sober, I must admit

Just because you’re clean, don’t mean you don’t miss it

Ten months older, I won’t give in

Now that I’m clean, I’m never gonna risk it

* Remember when we couldn’t take the heat

I walked out and said, “I’m settin’ you free,”

* People like you always want back the love they gave away

And people like me wanna believe you when you say you’ve changed

*Wish I never hung up the phone like I did

* I was thinking that you could be trusted

*Someday, when you leave me

I bet these memories

Follow you around

* I could build a castle

Out of all the bricks they threw at me

Fluff/Comfort/Sappy

* we decided

To move the furniture so we could dance

*You held on tight to me

*Morning, his place

Burnt toast, Sunday

You keep his shirt

He keeps his word

*And you understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars

And why I’ve spent my whole life trying to put it into words

REPUTATION

Angst/Fight/Heartbreak

*Wondered how many girls he had loved and left haunted

*I’ve been breaking hearts a long time

*They say, “She’s gone too far this time.”

*The role you made me play, of the fool

*I don’t trust nobody and nobody trusts me

*It’s no surprise, I turned you in

'Cause us traitors never win

*could’ve spent forever with your hands in my pockets

*I’m a mess, but I’m the mess that you wanted

*My castle crumbled overnight

I brought a knife to a gunfight

Smut/Romance

* Touch me and you’ll never be alone

I-Island breeze and lights down low

No one has to know

*In the middle of the night, in my dreams

You should see the things we do, baby

*you and me would be a big conversation

*Drinking on a beach with you all over me

*It’s like your eyes are liquor, it’s like your body is gold

*I can feel the flames on my skin

Crimson-red paint on my lips

*My name is whatever you decide

And I’m just gonna call you mine

*I get so high,

Every time you're—every time you’re loving me

*Just think of the fun things we could do

*Do the girls back home touch you like I do?

Long night, with your hands up in my hair

*Getting caught up in a moment

Lipstick on your face

*You know I’m not a bad girl, but I

Do bad things with you

*Wear you like a necklace

I’m so chill, but you make me jealous

*Scratches down your back now

*you should think about the consequence

Of you touching my hand in a darkened room

*They got no idea about me and you

There is an indentation in the shape of you

Made your mark on me, a golden tattoo

*All of this silence and patience, pining and anticipation

*My hands are shaking from holding back from you

*Carve your name into my bedpost

*Only bought this dress so you could take it off

Fluff/Comfort/Sappy

*Every love I’ve known in comparison is a failure

*I know I’m gonna be with you

*I pretend you’re mine, all the damn time

*I make all your grey days clear

*You should take it as a compliment

That I got drunk and made fun of the way you talk

*Now you try on callin’ me “baby” like tryin’ on clothes

*Up on the roof with a school girl crush

*Say you fancy me, not fancy stuff

Baby, all at once, this is enough

*I’m spilling wine in the bathtub

You kiss my face and we’re both drunk

*He built a fire just to keep me warm

*I’m laughing with my lover

Making forts under covers

LOVER

Angst/Fight/Heartbreak

*It isn’t love, it isn’t hate, it’s just indifference

*I don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you

*I’ve got a hundred thrown-out speeches

I almost said to you

*Who could ever leave me darling…

But who could stay?

*all of my enemies

Started out friends

*Now I’m feeling hopeless, ripped up my prom dress

*Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts

Flashbacks waking me up

I get drunk, but it’s not enough

*Gave you so much, but it wasn’t enough

*Tryna find a part of me that you didn’t touch

*And 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?

*I need to say, hey, it’s all me, just don’t go

Fluff/Comfort/Sappy

*And I scream, “For whatever it’s worth

*I love you, ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?” ( enemies to lovers )

*Can we always be this close forever and ever?

*And at every table, I’ll save you a seat

*It’s you and me, that’s my whole world

*I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this

*And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends

*Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand

*Tell me that you’re still mine

Tell me that we’ll be just fine

Even when I lose my mind

*I don’t wanna look at anything else now that I saw you

Smut/Romance

*His hands around a cold glass

Make me wanna know that

Body like it’s mine

* Lyrical smile, indigo eyes, hand on my thigh

*I whisper in the dark

“Where we gonna go?”

I think he knows

*But we might just get away with it

Religion’s in your lips

*The altar is my hips

Even if it’s a false god

We’d still worship this love

*I know heaven’s a thing

I go there when you touch me, honey

FOLKLORE

Angst/Fight/Heartbreak

*And if you wanted me, you really should’ve showed

*I persist and resist the temptation to ask you

If one thing had been different

Would everything be different today?

*When you are young, they assume you know nothing

*Chase two girls, lose the one

*You drew stars around my scars

But now I’m bleeding

*I think I’ve seen this film before

And I didn’t like the ending

*You’re not my homeland anymore

So what am I defendin’ now?

*I can see you starin’, honey

Like he’s just your understudy

Like you’d get your knuckles bloody for me

*Even on my worst day

Did I deserve, babe

All the hell you gave me?

*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

*I’m still trying everything to get you laughing at me

*Wanting was enough

For me, it was enough

*They told me all of my cages were mental

So I got wasted like all my potential

*And my words shoot to kill when I’m mad

I have a lot of regrets about that

*It’s obvious that wanting me dead has really brought you two together

*Would it be enough

If I could never give you peace?

*You knew it still hurts underneath my scars

From when they pulled me apart

But what you did was just as dark

Fluff/comfort/sappy

*when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone’s bed

You put me on and said I was your favorite

*You showed me colors you know I can’t see with anyone else

*You taught me a secret language I can’t speak with anyone else

*All these people think love’s for show But I would die for you in secret

*Your faithless love’s the only hoax I believe in

Smut/ Romance

*Hand under my sweatshirt

Baby, kiss it better,

*And I can see us twisted in bedsheets

EVERMORE

Fluff/Comfort/Sappy

*I’m begging for you to take my hand

*So we could call it even

You could call me “babe” for the weekend

*And if you’re ever tired of being known for who you know

You know that you’ll always know me

*Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow

Angst/Fight/Heartbreak

*She would’ve made such a lovely bride

What a shame she’s fucked in the head

*You had a speech, you’re speechless

*the heart I know I’m breaking is my own

To leave the warmest bed I’ve ever known

*If it’s all in my head tell me now

Tell me I’ve got it wrong somehow

*Tell me, when did your winning smile

Begin to look like a smirk?

*All you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness

*After giving you the best I had

Tell me what to give after that

*And when I got into the accident

The sight that flashed before me was your face

*It wasn’t right, The way it all went down

*Don’t treat me like some situation that needs to be handled

*I’m still at the restaurant

Still sitting in a corner I haunt

I can’t remember if I thought about this at the beginning. How it was doomed to end unhappily.

He nodded looking at me. I did, he said. I just thought it would be worth it.

— Sally Rooney, Conversations with Friends.

The fact that Taylor said — ‘Fuck the Patriarchy’ in All Too Well (10 minute version) which might have been taken from Sally Rooney’s Conversations With Friends, which is apparently one of Taylor’s favourite books and also the soon-to-be-released tv series with Joe Alwyn as the main character — is eating me alive, and I didn’t know where else to go with all this bromelianised knowledge!
