"slut!"
what if all i need is you?
got love-struck.
got lovesick all over my bed.
love to think you'll never forget.
love thorns all over this rose.
i'll pay the price, you won't.
they might as well be looking at us.
if they call me a slut, you know, it might be worth it for once.
if i'm gonna be drunk i might as well be drunk in love.
everyone wants him.
in a world of boys, he's a gentleman.
you're not saying you're in love with me.
it might blow up in your pretty face.
say don't go.
we're a shot in the darkest dark.
the waiting is a sadness.
fading into madness.
it won't stop.
i'm standing on a tightrope, alone.
i'm holding out hope.
i'm holding out hope for you to say 'don't go'.
i would stay forever.
i would stay forever if you say 'don't go'.
why'd you have to lead me on?
why'd you have to twist the knife?
why'd you have to twist the knife, walk away and leave me bleeding?
why'd you whisper in the dark just to leave me in the night?
your silence has me screaming.
you kiss me and it stops time.
i'm yours, but you're not mine.
you're not there.
i was trying to see the cards that you won't show.
i'm about to fold.
why'd you have to make me want you?
why'd you have to give me nothing back?
why'd you have to make me love you?
i said 'i love you', you say nothing back.
i want you more.
now that we don't talk.
i guess i'll never, ever know now that we don't talk.
it looks like you're trying lives on.
i miss the old ways.
you didn't have to change.
i guess i don't have a say.
the more i gave, you'd want me less.
i can't pretend it's platonic.
it's just ended.
guess maybe i am better off.
the only way back to my dignity was to turn into a shrouded mystery.
guess this is how it has to be.
suburban legends.
all was quickly forgiven.
you were so magnetic.
i didn't come here to make friends.
we were born to be suburban legends.
when you hold me, it holds me together.
you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever.
you'd be more than a chapter in my old diaries.
i can still see you now.
i know that you still remember.
we were born to be national treasures.
i broke my own heart.
i broke my own heart coz you were too polite to do it.
my whole life's ruined.
is it over now?
you still wouldn't go.
you dream of my mouth.
was it over?
is it over now?
your new girl is my clone.
did you think i didn't see you?
at least i had the decency to keep my nights out of sight.
i think about jumping off of very tall somethings.
if she's got blue eyes i will surmise that you'll probably date her.
you search in every model's bed for something greater.

Taylor Swift Lyrics That Convince Me She's a Jonsa
feel free to send as writing prompts <3
The rest of the world was black and white, but we were in screaming color
We were built to fall apart, then fall back together
When the sun came up, you were lookin' at me
Long night, with your hands up in my hair, echoes of your footsteps on the stairs
And you should think about the consequence of you touching my hand in a darkened room
I feel like I might sink and drown and die
My love had been frozen, deep blue, but you painted me golden
You said there was nothing in the world that could stop it
I loved you in spite of deep fears that the world would divide us
He built a fire just to keep me warm
Trust him like a brother, yeah, you know I did one thing right
Starry eyes sparking up my darkest night
Slowly I said, "You don't need to save me, but would you run away with me?"
I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below
Said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true, I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
And I snuck in through the garden gate, every night that summer just to seal my fate
Have I known you twenty seconds or twenty years?
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue
All's well that ends well to end up with you
Help me hold on to you
I search for your dark side
I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost
It's you and me, there's nothing like this
And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends
I see you everywhere
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand
I know heaven's a thing, I go there when you touch me, honey
I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you
I've been sleeping so long in a twenty-year dark night
I wounded the good and I trusted the wicked
Maybe you ran with the wolves and refused to settle down
I once believed love would be (black and white), but it's golden (golden)
You drew stars around my scars, but now I'm bleeding
Marked me like a bloodstain, I knew you
But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss
I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs
And I knew you'd come back to me
I think I've seen this film before and I didn't like the ending
Like you'd get your knuckles bloody for me
Those eyes add insult to injury
There is no amount of cryin' I can do for you
All this time, we always walked a very thin line
And if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes, too
And I can go anywhere I want, anywhere I want, just not home
And I still talk to you when I'm screaming at the sky
I know they said the end is near
I'm still a believer but I don't know why
I'm still trying everything to keep you looking at me
Whispers of "Are you sure?" "Never have I ever before"
With you, I fall down
But you dream of some epiphany, just one single glimpse of relief to make some sense of what you've seen
But I'm a fire and I'll keep your brittle heart warm
I am ash from your fire
You knew it still hurts underneath my scars
Wherever you stray, I follow
Head on the pillow, I could feel you sneaking in
Show me the places where the others gave you scars
Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
Your opal eyes are all I wish to see
My house of stone, your ivy grows and now I'm covered in you
It's a goddamn blaze in the dark and you started it
It's the goddamn fight of my life and you started it
I see you every day now
I feel you, no matter what
And I wake with your memory over me
And time can't stop me quite like you did
My hand was the one you reached for
And maybe it's the past that's talking

THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT - THE ANTHOLOGY BY TAYLOR SWIFT PROMPT LIST *  assorted lyrics from the album, some lines slightly adapted for meme purposes but feel free to adjust as necessary
even if it's handcuffed, i'm leaving here with you.
trust me. i can handle a dangerous man.
i love you. it's ruining my life.
does it feel all right to not know me?
i am who i am 'cause you trained me.
quick. tell me something awful.
i loved you the way that you were.
we were just kids, babe.
i can fix him.
you and i go from one kiss to getting married.
you said i'm the love of your life.
way up there, i actually love it.
i just don't understand how you don't miss me.
do you hate me?
did you think i had it in me?
what if i told you i'm back?
i still miss the smoke.
i'm not trying to exaggerate, but i think i might die if it happened.
you look like stevie nicks.
it's hell on earth to be heavenly.
i still can't believe it.
this happens once every few lifetimes.
didn't you hear? they called it all off.
it's happening again.
my friends say it isn't right to be scared.
i might just die.
fuck you if i can't have us.
tell me about the first time you saw me.
are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me?
no one's ever had me... not like you.
stay away from her.
there wouldn't be this if there hadn't been you.
i don't think you've changed much.
that's where i was when i lost it all.
life was always easier on you than it was on me.
i hoped you'd return.
do you believe me now?
what if your eyes looked up and met mine one more time?
what are the chances you'd be downtown?
is it something i did?
oh, we must stop meeting like this.
they say what doesn't kill you makes you aware.
i'm not a donor, but i'd give you my heart if you needed it.
looking backwards might be the only way to move forwards.
the story isn't mine anymore.
what a charming saturday!
none of it is changing.
wild winds are death to the candle.
one bad seed kills the garden.
i'm bitter, but i swear i'm fine.
this place made me feel worthless.
i didn't want to come down.
everything had been above board.
blood's thick, but nothing like a payroll.
you can mark my words that i said it first.
the professor said to write what you know.
all of this to say, i hope you're okay.
your words are still just ringing in my head.
i built a legacy which you can't undo.
who do i have to speak to to change the prophecy?
the effects were temporary.
no, i'm not coming to my senses.
babe, you gotta fake it 'til you make it.
you know you're good when you can even do it with a broken heart.
i guess a lesser woman would've lost hope.
thought of calling you, but you won't pick up.
you're a professional.
long may you reign.
you're an animal. you are bloodthirsty.
now i seem to be scared to go outside.
i don't believe in good luck.
i hate it here.
if i'd been there, i'd hate it.
only the gentle survived.
i'm lonely, but i'm good.
you have no room in your dreams for regrets.
i thought it was just goodbye for now.
are you still a mind reader?
let it once be me.
i haven't decided yet.
i still dream of him.
i'm so afraid i sealed my fate.
it was always the same searing pain.
i can't forgive the way you made me feel.
it wasn't a fair fight or a clean kill.
she used to say she wished that you were dead.
tell me all your secrets.
they tried to warn you about me.
you're in terrible danger.
i'm the life you chose.
yes, i'm haunted, but i'm feeling just fine.
no one asks any questions here.
tell me i'm despicable. say it's unforgivable.
i'm running back home to you.
you should see your faces.
you knew the price going in.
was any of it true?
who the fuck was that guy?
i don't ever want you back.
did you sleep with a gun underneath out bed?
you don't get to tell me you feel bad.
you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me.
am i allowed to cry?
there's no such thing as bad thoughts. only your actions talk.
they're going to crucify me anyway.
i know i'm just repeating myself.
that's the closest i've come to my heart exploding.

taylor swift lyrics, the tortured poets department edition, part two
guilty as sin?
▸ 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].
loml
▸ 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.
the alchemy
▸ 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?
clara bow
▸ 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.

prompts: ttpd, the anthology by taylor swift.
your location, you forgot to turn it off.
the only thing that's left is the manuscript, one last souvenir from my trip to your shores
could it be enough to just float in your orbit?
quick, quick, tell me something awful, like you are a poet trapped inside the body of a finance guy.
i just don't understand how you don't miss me.
now and then she rereads the manuscriptof the entire torrid affair.
if you wanna tear my world apart, just say you've always wondered.
if comfort is a construct, i don't believe in good luck.
i move through the world with a broken heart.
they killed cassandra first, 'cause she feared the worst.
don't want money, just someone who wants my company.
say it once again with feeling.
even statues crumble if they're made to wait.
we here-by conduct the post portem.
what doesn't kill you makes you awake.
they tried to warn you about me.
i'm not a doner, but i'd give you my heart if you wanted.
i got cursed like eve got bitten.
i hate it here so i will go to secret gardens in my mind.
i feel so high school every time i look at you.
I look in people's windows like i'm some deranged weirdo.
there wouldn't be this if there hadn't been you.
she wrotе headlines in the local paper, laughing at each baby step i'd take.
one bad seed kills the garden.
when the truth comes out, it's quiet.
you see, i was a debutante in another life.
you have a favorite spot on the swing set.
the empathetic hunger descends.
i'm addicted to the 'if only'.
he said that if the sex was half as good as the conversation was, soon they'd be pushin' strollers. soon it was over.
oh, we must stop meeting like this.
way to go, tiger.
i built a legacy that you can't undo.
you said some things that i can't unabsorb, you turned me into an idea of sorts.
i may never open up the way i did for you.
he was a cad, wanted her bad just like any good trophy hunter.
tell me about the first time you saw me.
they knew, they knew, they knew the whole time.
i don't think you've changed much.
you have no room in your dreams for regrets.
they set my life in flames.
i thought it was just goodbye for now.
i loved you the way that you were.
you're a just ruler covered in mud, you look ridiculous.
i'm there most of the year, 'cause i hate it here.
you saw my bones out with somebody new who seemed like he would've bullied you in school.
how did it end? i can't pretend like i understand.
this place made me feel worthless.
i wanna find you in a crowd, just to hide from you.
quick, quick. tell me something awful.
i won't confess that i waited, but i let the lamp burn.
i can't forgive the way you made me feel.
Buried down deep
out of your reach the secret we all vowed to keep it from you in sweetness.
splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless.
old habits die screaming.
i'm lonely, but i'm good.
in my fantasies, i rise about it.
forgive me, [name], please know that i tried.
if i sell my apartment and you have some kids with an internet starlet. will that make your memory fade from this scarlet maroon?
behind her back, her best mates laughed.
you needed me, but you needed drugs more, and i can't watch it happen.
she's the albatross, she is here to destroy you.
i'll tell you one thing, honey. i can tell when somebody still wants me.
were you makin' fun of me?
nostalgia is a mind's trick.
i read about it in a book when I was a precocious child.
does it feel alright to now know me?
excellent fun 'til you get to know her.
life was always easier on you.
tell me all your secrets, all you'll ever be.
it wasn't a fair fight.
if i die screaming, i hope you hear it.
i can confirm she made a curious child, ever reviled by everyone except her own father.
are you gonna marry, kiss or kill me?
i'm bitter, but i swear i'm fine.
all that time you were throwin' punches, i was buildin' somethin'.
one less temptress, one less dagger to sharpen.
i'm hearing voices like a madman.
you said you were gonna grow up, then you were gonna come find me.
but i can't forget the way you made me heal.
they nicknamed her 'the bolter'.
wise men once said 'wild winds are death to the candle'.
now i wanna sell my house and set fire to all my clothes.
i'm gonna get you back.
push the reset button, we're becomin' something new.
i'm watchin' american pie with you on a saturday night.
i'm an aston martin that you steered straight into the ditch.

taylor swift : 1989 album ... sentence starters
“Are we in the clear, yet?”
“Don't say I didn't warn ya.”
“They'll tell you I'm insane.”
“We were built to fall apart.”
“Love's a game, wanna play?“
“That's what they don't know.”
“Wait, the worst is yet to come.”
“Oh, my God, look at that face!”
“Hey, all you had to do was stay.”
“I can read you like a magazine.”
“Can't stop, won't stop grooving!”
“Won't you come on over, baby?“
“But I can't stop thinking 'bout you.”
“Grab your passport and my hand.”
“I could show you incredible things.”
“You're thinking that I hate you now.”
“I'm dying to see how this one ends.”
“Nice to meet you, where you been?”
“You give me everything and nothing.”
“Like any real love, it's ever-changing.”
“You're the king, baby, I'm your queen.”
“Could end in burning flames or paradise.”
“Everybody here wanted something more.”
“Wish I never hung up the phone like I did.”
“You always knew how to push my buttons.”
“Like any great love, it keeps you guessing.”
“All I know is that you drove us off the road.”
“Everybody here was someone else before.”
“We're a crooked love in a straight line down.”

“I can make the bad guys good for a weekend.”
“Let me remind you, this was what you wanted.”

“Welcome to New York, it's been waiting for you.”
“The lights are so bright, but they never blind me.”
“It's been a while since I have even heard from you...”
“I've been picking up the pieces of the mess you made.”
“Why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in?“
“But I've got a blank space, baby, and I'll write your name.”
“So, it's gonna be forever, or it's gonna go down in flames.”
“'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream.”
“Ain't it funny? Rumors fly, and I know you heard about me.”
“People like you always want back the love they gave away.”
“And when we go crashing down, we come back every time.”
“You can tell me when it's over, if the high was worth the pain.”
“Oh, my God, look at that face. You look like my next mistake.”
“It's a new soundtrack, I could dance to this beat, forevermore!”
“I wish we could go back and remember what we were fighting for.”
“I could show you incredible things: magic, madness, heaven, sin...”
“I should just tell you to leave, 'cause I know exactly where it leads.”
“'Cause we're young and we're reckless. We'll take this way too far.”
“Like any true love, it drives you crazy, but you know you wouldn't change anything.”

the tortured poets department. songs one through five.
i was supposed to be sent away.
they forgot to come and get me.
i was a functioning alcoholic.
i hope you're okay.
you're the reason, and no one's here to blame.
what about your quiet treason?
we were forever running.
sometimes you ask about the weather.
your wife waters flowers.
i want to kill her/him.
all my mornings are monday stuck in endless februrary.
i took the miracle 'move on' drug. the effects were temporary.
i love you, it's ruining my life.
i touched you only for a fortnight.
but i touched you.
my husband is cheating.
i called you up, but you won't pick up.
i think some things i never say.
who uses typewriters anyway?
you're in self-sabotage mode, throwing spikes down the road.
i've seen this episode and still love the show.
who else decodes you?
who's gonna hold you, if not me?
who's gonna know you, if not me?
i scratch your head, you fall asleep.
i've read this one where you come undone.
i chose this cyclone with you.
sometimes i wonder if you're gonna screw this up with me.
you told lucy you'd kill yourself if i ever leave.
i felt seen.
everyone we know understands why it's meant to be. because we're crazy.
that's the closest i've come to my heart exploding.
here we go again.
you should've seen him when he first got me.
my boy only breaks his favorite toys.
i'm the queen of sand castles he destroys.
it fit too right, puzzle pieces in the dead of night.
i should have known it was a matter of time.
there was a litany of reasons why we could've played for keeps this time.
i know i'm just repeating myself.
pull the string, and i'll tell you that he runs because he loves me.
he saw forever so he smashed it up.
once i fix me, he's gonna miss me.
he was my best friend.
i felt more when we played pretend.
told me i'm better off. but i'm not.
tell me i was the chosen one.
showed me that this world is bigger than us, then sent me back where i came from.
for a moment i knew cosmic love.
now i'm down bad, crying at the gym.
everything comes out teenage petulance.
fuck it if i can't have him.
i might just die, it would make no difference.
fuck it if i can't have us.
i might just not get up.
i might stay down.
did you take all my old clothes?
that somehow seems so hollow now.
they'll say i'm nuts if i talk about the existence of you.
for a moment, i was heaven struck.
i loved your hostile take-overs.
how dare you say that it's-?
i'll build you a fort on some planet where they can all understand it.
how dare you think it's romantic, leaving me safe and stranded?
fuck it, i was in love.
so fuck you, if i can't have us.
like i lost my twin.
i saw in my mind ferry lights through the mist.
i kept calm and carried the weight of the rift.
pulled him in tighter each time he was drifting away.
my spine split from carrying us up the hell.
i stopped trying to make him laugh.
how much sad did you think i had in me?
so long, london.
you'll find someone.
i didn't opt in to be your odd man out.
i founded the club she's heard great things about.
i left all i knew.
you left me at the house by the heath.
i stopped cpr. after all, it's no use.
the spirit was gone.
i'm pissed off you let me give all that youth for free.
i'll find someone.
you say i abandoned the ship, but i was going down with it.
my friends said it isn't right to be scared.
every breath feels like the rarest air when you're not sure if he wants to be there.
how much tragedy did you think i had in me?
how long did you think i'd go before i'd self-implode?
how long did you think i'd go before i'd have to go be free?
you swore you loved me, but where were the clues?
i died on the altar waiting for the proof.
you sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days.
i'm just getting color back into my face.
i'm just mad 'cause i loved this place for so long.
had a good run, a moment of warm sun.
i'm not the one.
two graves, one gun.

taylor swift // midnights rp meme. 
edit/alter/change pronouns etc as you see fit!  
Tumblr media
lavender haze. 
meet me at midnight. 
you don’t ever say too much. 
i’ve been under scrutiny. 
you handle it beautifully. 
all this shit is new to me. 
i’m damned if i do give a damn what people say. 
all they keep asking me is if i’m gonna be your bride. 
they’re bringing up my history. 
they’re bringing up my history, but you weren’t even listening. 
i just need this love spiral. 
maroon. 
we lost track of time again. 
you were my closest friend. 
how’d we end up on the floor anyway? 
i see you every day now. 
i chose you. 
we were shaking. 
how the hell did we lose sight of us again? 
ain’t that the way shit always ends. 
i feel you, no matter what. 
and i lost you. 
i wake with your memory over me. 
that’s a real fuckin’ legacy. 
anti-hero. 
i get older, but just never wiser. 
midnights become my afternoons. 
my depression works the graveyard shift. 
i should not be left to my own devices. 
i end up in crisis. 
i wake up screaming from dreaming. 
one day i’ll watch as you’re leaving.
one day i’ll watch as you’re leaving, coz you got tired of my scheming. 
it’s me, hi. i’m the problem, it’s me. 
i’m the problem. 
i’ll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror. 
it must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero. 
i’m a monster on the hill. 
did you hear my covert narcissism i disguise as altruism like some kind of congressman? 
life will lose all its meaning. 
she thinks i left them in the will. 
she’s laughing up at us from hell. 
snow on the beach. 
life is emotionally abusive. 
time can’t stop me quite like you did. 
i’m unglued, thanks to you. 
it’s like snow at the beach: weird, but fucking beautiful. 
you wanting me tonight, feels impossible. 
this scene feels like what i once saw on a screen. 
i’ve never seen someone lit from within. 
my smile is like i won a contest. 
to hide that would be so dishonest. 
it’s fine to fake it till you make it. 
i can’t speak. 
i don’t even dare to wish it. 
can this be a real thing? 
you’re on your own, kid. 
summer went away, still the yearning stays. 
i play it cool with the best of them. 
he’s gonna notice me. 
we’re the best of friends anyway. 
i hear it in your voice. 
i didn’t choose this town, i dream of getting out. 
there’s just one who could make me stay. 
i waited ages to see you there. 
you never cared. 
you’re on your own, kid. you always have been. 
you’re on your own, kid. 
i see the great escape. 
he loves me not. 
something different bloomed. 
i’ll run away. 
i gave my blood, sweat and tears for this. 
the jokes weren’t funny. 
i took the money. 
my friends from home don’t know what to say. 
there were pages turned with the bridges burned. 
everything you lose is a step you take. 
you’ve got no reason to be afraid. 
you can face this. 
midnight rain. 
he wanted it comfortable, i wanted that pain. 
he wanted a bride, i was making my own name. 
he stayed the same. 
all of me changed. 
my town was a wasteland. 
for some, it was paradise. 
i broke his heart coz he was nice. 
i was midnight rain. 
i guess sometimes we all get just what we wanted. 
he never thinks of me. 
i guess we all get some kind of haunted. 
i never think of him. 
i never think of him, except on midnights like this. 
question...? 
we had one thing going on, i swear that it was something. 
i don’t remember who i was before you. 
i just may like some explanations. 
can i ask you a question? 
did you ever have someone kiss you in a crowded room? 
what did you do?
did you ever leave her house in the middle of the night? 
did you wish you’d put up more of a fight? 
it was too much. 
do you wish you could still touch her? 
did you realise out of time? 
fuckin’ politics and gender roles. 
i just may like to have a conversation. 
does it feel like everything’s just like second best after that meteor strike? 
i’m sure that’s what’s suitable. 
vigilante shit. 
draw the cat eye sharp enough to kill a man. 
you did some bad things, but i’m the worst of them. 
sometimes i wonder which one will be your last lie. 
they say looks can kill and i might try. 
i don’t dress for women, i don’t dress for men, lately i’ve been dressing for revenge. 
i don’t start shit.
i don’t start shit, but i can tell you how it ends. 
don’t get sad, get even. 
i’ve been dressing for revenge. 
she needed cold hard proof, so i gave her some. 
picture me, thick as thieves with your ex-wife. 
she looks so pretty, driving in your benz. 
ladies always rise above. 
i’m on my vigilante shit again. 
bejeweled. 
i think i’ve been a little too kind. 
didn’t notice you walking all over my peace of mind. 
putting someone first only works when you’re in their top five. 
i’m going out tonight. 
best believe i’m still bejeweled when i walk in the room. 
i can still make the whole place shimmer. 
familiarity breeds comtempt. 
don’t put me in the basement when i want the penthouse of your heart. 
i polish up real nice. 
i think i’ve been too good of a girl. 
i think it’s time to teach some lessons. 
i made you my world. 
have you heard? i can reclaim the land. 
i miss you, but i miss sparkling. 
sadness became my whole sky. 
but some guy said my aura’s moonstone. 
you can try to change my mind, but you might have to wait in line. 
a diamond’s gotta shine. 
labyrinth. 
it only hurts this much right now. 
i’ll be getting over you my whole life. 
i’m falling in love.
i’m falling in love again. 
it only feels this raw right now. 
lost in the labyrinth of my mind. 
you would break your back to make me break a smile. 
you know how much i hate that everybody just expects me to bounce back. 
karma. 
you’re talking shit. 
addicted to betrayal. 
you’re terrified to look down. 
you’ll see the glare of everyone you burned. 
it’s coming back around. 
karma is my boyfriend. 
karma’s a relaxing thought. aren’t you envious that for you it’s not? 
my pennies made your crown. 
don’t you know that cash ain’t the only price? 
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.
so many fade.
i’m still here. 
karma is the thunder rattling your ground. 
karma’s on your scent like a bounty hunter. 
sweet nothing. 
they said the end is coming.
the end is coming. 
everyone’s up to something. 
i find myself running home to your sweet nothings. 
all that you ever wanted from me was sweet nothing. 
this happens all the time. 
you should be doing more. 
to you i can admit that i’m just too soft for all of it. 
i’m just too soft for all of it. 
mastermind. 
the planets and the fates and all the stars aligned. 
the touch of a hand lit the fuse. 
checkmate, i couldn’t lose.
i couldn’t lose. 
what if i told you none of it was accidental. 
none of it was accidental. 
the first night that you saw me, nothing was gonna stop me. 
what if i told you i’m a mastermind? 
i’m a mastermind. 
now you’re mine. 
we were born to be the pawn in every lover’s game. 
if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. 
strategy sets the scene for the tale. 
the first night that you saw me, i knew i wanted your body.
i wanted your body. 
it was all my design. 
no one wanted to play with me as a little kid.
i’ve been scheming. 
i’ve been scheming like a criminal ever since.
i’ve been scheming like a criminal ever since to make them love me. 
this is the first time i’ve felt the need to confess. 
i’m only cryptic and machiavellian coz i care. 
you knew the entire time. 
you knew that i’m a mastermind. 
the great war. 
my knuckles were bruised like violets. 
cursed you as i sleep talked. 
spineless in my tomb of silence. 
tore your banners down, took the battle underground. 
flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur. 
my hand was the one you reach for all throughout the great war. 
i vowed not to cry anymore. 
if we survived the great war. 
you drew up some good faith treaties. 
you said i have to trust more freely. 
you were playing with fire. 
maybe it’s the past that’s talking. 
maybe it’s the past that’s talking-- telling me to punish you for things you never did. 
i justified it. 
i vowed not to fight anymore. 
i vowed not to fight anymore if we survived the great war. 
got a sense i’d been betrayed. 
that was the night i nearly lost you.
i nearly lost you. 
i really thought i’d lost you. 
we can plant a memory garden. 
there’s no morning glory, it was war, it wasn’t fair. 
we will never go back to that bloodshed. 
we’re burned for better. 
i vowed i would always be yours.
i would always be yours. 
paris. 
all the outfits were terrible. 
i’m so in love that i might stop breathing. 
i was taken by the view. 
romance is not dead. 
romance is not dead if you keep it just yours. 
levitate above all the messes made. 
i want to brainwash you into loving me forever. 
high infidelity. 
i didn’t know you were keeping count. 
you said i was freeloading. 
put on your records and regret me. 
i bent the truth too far tonight. 
i was dancing around it. 
do i really have to chart the constellations in his eyes? 
seemed like the right thing at the time. 
there’s so many different ways that you can kill the one you love. 
there’s so many different ways that you can kill the one you love. the slowest way is never loving them enough. 
do i really have to tell you how he brought me back to life? 
glitch. 
we were supposed to be just friends. 
maybe i’ll see you out some weekend. 
i think there’s been a glitch. 
i’m fastening myself to you. 
i’m not even sorry. 
i was supposed to sweat you out. 
our love is blacking out. 
the system’s breaking down. 
i’d go back to wanting dudes who give nothing. 
would’ve, could’ve, should’ve. 
if you tasted poison you could’ve spit me out. 
if you’d never looked my way i would’ve stayed on my knees. 
i damn sure never would’ve danced with the devil. 
the pain was heaven. 
now that i’m grown, i’m scared of ghosts. 
memories feel like weapons. 
i wish you’d left me wondering. 
if you never touched me i would’ve gone along with the righteous. 
you made me feel important. 
you made me feel important, then you tried to erase us. 
you tried to erase us. 
you’re a crisis of my faith. 
if i’d only played it safe. 
i miss who i used to be. 
the tomb won’t close. 
i regret you all the time. 
i can’t let this go. 
i fight with you in my sleep. 
the wound won’t close. 
i keep on waiting for a sign. 
if clarity’s in death, then why won’t this die? 
living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts.
give me back my girlhood, it was mine first. 
dear reader. 
if it feels like a trap, you’re already in one. 
just run. 
pick somewhere and just run. 
desert all your past lives. 
if you don’t recognise yourself, that means you did it right. 
never take advice from someone who’s falling apart. 
bend when you can, snap when you have to. 
you don’t have to answer just cause they asked you. 
the greatest of luxuries is your secrets. 
when you aim at the devil, make sure you don’t miss. 
i prefer hiding in plain sight. 
you should find another guiding light.

felt like rewriting jonsa's ending scene.
because what we had just wasn't sad enough lol
also as a side note, this was inspired by my taylor swift sentence starters <3
Traitors never win…
Father’s words come back to her as she stands there, watching her siblings embrace Jon, saying their goodbyes. This shouldn’t be happening, this shouldn’t be real, and yet, there it was happening just before her very eyes.
Then it’s her turn and Arya is wheeling Bran away, leaving them both standing there, helplessly, neither willing to take the first step towards the other. Neither willing to make this their goodbye. Not when it shouldn’t have to be, not when this never should have been happening. 
But then, he’s reaching for her, because he simply cannot wait, cannot bear another single moment without her in his arms. So, she wraps her arms around him, burying her face into the crook of his shoulder, the feel of his hands at the small of her back the most familiar of things. “Jon…” She whispers but he’s shaking his head as he draws back, Stark gray meeting Tully blue. “Traitors never win,” she says softly, lips trembling around the words.
Jon smiles, as he does, shifting from one foot to the other. “Father,” he says, thinking of the man who raised him- the good and honorable man who swore an oath to protect him from the world, the man that had lived up to that oath until his dying breath. “He was right,” a flicker of pain crosses his features and she reaches for his hands, her lips spilling an apology he doesn’t need to hear. “There’s nothing to forgive,” he says, an echo of words he once said, so long ago now it feels like a different lifetime. “I did this.” 
“But you did it for… Us…” She clutches tightly to his hands and he draws one to his lips, kissing her knuckles as he should have been kissing her lips.
“I did it for you,” he amends with a small smile.
And then, he must go.

taylor swift lyrics, the tortured poets department edition, part one
fortnight
▸ i was supposed to be sent away but they forgot to come and get me. ▸ i was a functioning alcoholic till nobody noticed my new aesthetic. ▸ no one here's to blame but what about your quiet treason? ▸ for a fortnight there, we were forever. ▸ i took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary. ▸ i love you, it's ruining my life. ▸ thought of calling you but you won't pick up.
the tortured poets department
▸ who uses typewriters anyway? ▸ you're in self-sabotage mode. ▸ we're modern idiots. ▸ you smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate. ▸ i chose this cyclone with you. ▸ sometimes i wonder if you're gonna screw this up with me. ▸ so tell me, who else is gonna know me? ▸ that's the closest i've come to my heart exploding.
my boy only breaks his favorite toys
▸ you should've seen them when they first got me. ▸ i only break my favourite toys. ▸ i should've known it was a matter of time. ▸ we could've played for keeps this time. ▸ i know i'm just repeating myself. put me back on my shelf. ▸ i'll tell you that [you/they] run because [you/they] love me. ▸ i knew too much. ▸ you saw forever so you smashed it up. ▸ once i fix me, you're gonna miss me. ▸ you took me out of my box, stole my tortured heart, left all these broken parts and told me i'm better off but i'm not.
down bad
▸ for a moment, i knew cosmic love. ▸ now i'm down bad, crying at the gym. ▸ everything comes out of teenage petulance. ▸ fuck it if i can't have [you/them]. ▸ i might just die, it would make no difference. ▸ i might just not get up, i might just stay down bad. ▸ fuck it, i was in love.
so long, london
▸ my spine split from carrying us up the hill. ▸ i stopped trying to make you laugh. ▸ how much sad did you think i had in me? ▸ i didn't opt in to be your odd man out. ▸ i'm pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free. ▸ you say i abandoned the ship but i was going down with it. ▸ my friends said it isn't right to be scared every day of a love affair. ▸ just how low did you think i'd go before i'd self-implode? ▸ you swore that you loved me but where were the clues? ▸ i'm just mad as hell 'cause i loved this place.
but daddy i love him
▸ i just learned these people only raise you to cage you. ▸ i just learned these people try and save you 'cause they hate you. ▸ they slammed the door on my whole world. the one thing i wanted. ▸ you should see your face. ▸ no i'm not coming to my senses. ▸ i know [you/they]'re crazy but [you/they]'re the one i want. ▸ all my plans were laid. ▸ growing up precocious sometimes means not growing up at all. ▸ i'll tell you something right now, i'd rather burn my whole life down than listen to one more second of all this bitching and moaning. ▸ 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. ▸ you ain't gotta pray for me if all you want is gray for me. then it's just white noise and it's just my choice. ▸ scandal does funny things to pride but brings lovers closer. ▸ fuck 'em, it's over. ▸ time, doesn't it give some perspective?
fresh out the slammer
▸ fresh out the slammer, i know who my first call will be to. ▸ handcuffed to the spell i was under, for just one hour of sunshine. ▸ years of labor, locks and ceilings, in the shade of how [they were] feeling. ▸ it's gonna be alright, i did my time. ▸ as i said in my letters, now that i know better, i will never lose my baby again. ▸ my friends tried but i wouldn't hear it, watched me daily disappearing. ▸ ain't no way i'm gonna screw up, now that i know what's at stake here.
florida!!!
▸ you can beat the heat if you beat the charges too. ▸ they said i was a cheat, i guess it must be true. ▸ this city reeks of driving myself crazy. ▸ little did you know, your home's really only a town you're just a guest in. ▸ i'm barricaded in the bathroom with a bottle of wine. ▸ well, me and my ghosts, we had a hell of a time. ▸ yes, i'm haunted but i'm feeling just fine. ▸ all my girls got their lace and their crimes. ▸ i did my best to lay to rest all of the bodies that have ever been on my body. ▸ i've got some regrets, i'll bury them in florida. ▸ tell me i'm despicable, say it's unforgivable. ▸ love left me like this and i don't want to exist.
