Mean (Taylor's Version) - Taylor Swift

The drought was the very worst Ah-ah, ah-ah When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst It was months and months of back and forth Ah-ah, ah-ah You're still all over me Like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore Hung my head as I lost the war And the sky turned black like a perfect storm The rain came pouring down when I was drowning That's when I could finally breathe And by morning, gone was any trace of you I think I am finally clean There was nothing left to do Ah-ah, ah-ah When the butterflies turnеd to dust that covered my whole room So I punchеd a hole in the roof Ah-ah, ah-ah Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you The water filled my lungs I screamed so loud, but no one heard a thing Rain came pouring down when I was drowning That's when I could finally breathe And by morning, gone was any trace of you I think I am finally clean I think I am finally clean Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah Said I think I am finally clean Ah-ah-ah 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 The drought was the very worst Ah-ah, ah-ah When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst (Whoa) The rain came pouring down when I was drowning That's when I could finally breathe And by morning, gone was any trace of you I think I am finally clean The rain came pouring down when I was drowning That's when I could finally breathe And by morning, gone was any trace of you I think I am finally clean Finally clean Think I'm finally clean Ah-ah, ah-ah Think I'm finally clean

Long handwritten note, deep in your pocket Words, how little they mean, when you're a little too late I stood right by the tracks, your face in a locket Good girls, hopeful they'll be and long they will wait We had a beautiful, magic love there What a sad, beautiful, tragic love affair In dreams, I meet you in warm conversation We both wake in lonely beds, different cities And time is taking its sweet time erasing you And you've got your demons And darling, they all look like me 'Cause we had a beautiful, magic love there What a sad, beautiful, tragic love affair Distance, timing, breakdown, fighting Silence, the train runs off its tracks Kiss me, try to fix it, could you just try to listen? Hang up, give up, and for the life of us, we can't get back A beautiful magic love there What a sad, beautiful, tragic, beautiful, tragic, beautiful What we had, a beautiful, magic love there What a sad, beautiful, tragic, love affair We had a beautiful, magic love there What a sad, beautiful, tragic love affair

He said, "Let's get out of this town Drive out of the city, away from the crowds" I thought, "Heaven can't help me now" Nothing lasts forever But this is gonna take me down He's so tall, and handsome as hell He's so bad, but he does it so well I can see the end as it begins My one condition is Say you'll remember me standing in a nice dress Staring at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again Even if it's just in your wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha Wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha I said, "No one has to know what we do" His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room And his voice is a familiar sound Nothing lasts forever But this is getting good now He's so tall, and handsome as hell He's so bad, but he does it so well And when we've had our very last kiss My last request, it is Say you'll remember me standing in a nice dress Staring at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again Even if it's just in your wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha (ah-ah, ha) Wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha 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 You'll see me in hindsight, tangled up with you all night Burning (burning) it (it) down (down) Someday when you leave me, I bet these memories Follow (follow) you (you) around (around) (Follow you around) Say you'll remember me standing in a nice dress Staring at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again, even if it's just pretend Say you'll remember me standing in a nice dress Staring at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again Even if it's just in your (just pretend, just pretend) Wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha (ah-ah-ah-ah) Wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha (Even if it's just in your) wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha In your wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha

Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly Loving him is like trying to change your mind Once you're already flying through the free fall Like the colors in autumn, so bright, just before they lose it all Losing him was blue like I'd never known Missing him was dark gray, all alone Forgetting him was like tryin' know somebody you never met But loving him was red Loving him was red Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted Was right there in front of you Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words To your old favorite song Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword And realizing there's no right answer Regretting him was like wishing you never found out That love could be that strong Losing him was blue like I'd never known Missing him was dark gray, all alone Forgetting him was like tryin' know somebody you never met But loving him was red Oh, red Burning red Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes Tell myself, "It's time now, gotta let go" But moving on from him is impossible When I still see it all in my head In burning red Burning, it was red Oh, losing him was blue like I'd never known Missing him was dark gray, all alone Forgetting him was like tryin' to know Somebody you never met 'Cause loving him was red Yeah, yeah, red We're burning red And that's why he's spinning 'round in my head Comes back to me, burning red Yeah, yeah His love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street

You said it in a simple way, 4 a.m. the second day How strange that I don't know you at all Stumbled through the long goodbye One last kiss, then catch your flight Right when I was just about to fall I told myself, "Don't get attached" But in my mind, I play it back Spinning faster than the plane that took you And this is when the feeling sinks in I don't wanna miss you like this Come back, be here, come back, be here I guess you're in New York today I don't wanna need you this way Come back, be here, come back, be here Delicate beginning rush The feeling you can know so much Without knowing anything at all And now that I can put this down If I had known what I'd known now I never would've played so nonchalant Taxi cabs and busy streets They never bring you back to me I can't help but wish you took me with you And this is when the feeling sinks in I don't wanna miss you like this Come back, be here, come back, be here I guess you're in London today And I don't wanna need you this way Come back, be here, come back, be here This is falling in love in the cruelest way This is falling for you, and you are worlds away In New York, be here But you're in London, and I break down 'Cause it's not fair that you're not around This is when the feeling sinks in I don't wanna miss you like this Come back, be here, come back, be here I guess you're in New York today And I don't wanna need you this way Come back, be here, come back, be here Ah, ah, oh, oh I don't wanna miss you like this Ah, ah, oh, oh (Ah, ah) come back, be here (Ah, ah) come back, be here

Ah-ah, ah Ah-ah, ah 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 bother with love, if it never lasts I say, "Can you believe it?" As we're lying on the 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 Flash 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 parents' mistakes But 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 Oh-oh, oh And I remember that fight, 2:30 a.m. As 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 that'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 every time 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 and make it last Hold on, ever turn back (Hold on) you made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter (Hold on) you are the best thing that's ever been mine Do you believe it? We're gonna make it now And I can see it (yeah, yeah) I can see it now

Now go stand in the corner and think About what you did Ha, ha Time for a little revenge 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, nor would I 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 stealing from She's not a saint, and she's not what you think She's an actress, whoa He was a moth to the flame She was holding the matches, whoa Soon she's gonna find Stealing other people's 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 Ha 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 And, 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 But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity (Think about what you did) She's not a saint, and she's not what you think She's an actress, whoa He was a moth to the flame She was holding the matches, whoa Soon she's gonna find Stealing other people's 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'll always get the last word Whoa (C'mon, can you take that, c'mon) She's not a saint, and she's not what you think She's an actress, whoa He was a moth to the flame She was holding the matches, whoa Soon she's gonna find Stealing other people's 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 And 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 C'mon 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
