Tell Me Why (Taylor’s Version) - Taylor Swift

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do 'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me, you belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down You say, "You're fine", I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby?

Call me, Tell me Call me, tell me we should meet tomorrow I can't see things quite your way But I think that I could show you Things that lye below your thoughts and words And your gardens and your stained glass day Times you come to me and said you don't know why. I think that there might be something wrong You could change your thoughts before I go But then you'd know that you were right where I wanted you And you didn't know You were meant to worship and accuse (chose) Anything you want but now it looks like you will lose All the things you needed when you were the one Can't be found you know they've just begun To crumble all around you And you see them tumble down without a thought or care for you Oh what you do
