Taylor SwiftI’ve known it from the very startWe’re a shot in the darkest darkOh no, oh no, I’m unarmedThe waiting is a sadnessFading into madnessOh no, oh no, it won’t stop
I’m standing on a tightrope aloneI hold my breath a little bit longerHalfway out the door, but it won’t closeI’m holding out hope for you toSay, “Don’t go”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?Walk away and leave me bleeding, bleeding?Why’d you whisper in the darkJust to leave me in the night?Now your silence has me screaming, screamingSay, “Don’t go”I would stay forever if you say, “Don’t go”
Now I’m pacing on shaky groundStrike a match, then you blow it outOh no, oh no, it’s not fair‘Cause you kiss me and it stops timeAnd I’m yours, but you’re not mineOh no, oh no, you’re not there
I’m standing on the sidewalk aloneI wait for you to drive byI’m tryna see the cards that you won’t showI’m about to fold unless youSay, “Don’t go”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?Walk away and leave me bleeding, bleeding?Why’d you whisper in the darkJust to leave me in the night?Now your silence has me screaming, screamingSay, “Don’t go”I would stay forever if you say, “Don’t go”
Why’d you have to—Why’d you have to twist the knife?Walk away and leave me bleeding, bleeding?Why’d you whisper in the darkJust to leave me in the night?Now your silence has me screaming, screamingSay, “Don’t go”I would stay forever if you say, “Don’t go”
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
Why’d you have to lead me on?Why’d you have to twist the knife?Walk away and leave me bleeding, bleeding?Why’d you whisper in the darkJust to leave me in the night?Now your silence has me screaming, screamingSay, “Don’t go”I would stay forever if you say, “Don’t go”But you won’t
