Letra de So long, London, de Taylor Swift
So (So) long (Long), London (London)
So (So) long (Long), London (London)
So (So) long (Long), London (London)
I saw, in my mind, fairy lights through the mist
I kept calm and carried the weight of the rift
Pulled him in tighter each time he was driftin’ away.
My spine split from carrying us up the hill.
Wet through my clothes, weary bones got the chill.
I stopped tryin’ to make him laugh, stopped tryin’ to drill the safe.
[Coro]
Thinkin’, how much sad did you think I had,
did you think I had in me?
Oh, the tragedy.
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 stoppеd CPR, after all, it’s no use.
The spirit was gonе, we would never come to.
And I’m pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free.
For so long, London
Stitches undone
Two graves, one gun
I’ll find someone.
And you say I abandoned the ship
But I was going down with it.
My white-knuckle dyin’ grip.
Holding tight to your quiet resentment
And my friends said it isn’t right to be scared
Every day of a love affair
Every breath feels like rarest air
When you’re not sure if he wants to be there
So how much sad did you think I had
Did you think I had in me?
How much tragedy?
Just how low did you
Think I’d go ‘fore I’d self-implode?
‘Fore I’d have to go be free?
You swore that you loved me, but where were the clues?
I died on the altar waitin’ for the proof
You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days
And I’m just getting color back into my face
I’m just mad as hell ‘cause I loved this place for.
loml
En el tema “loml” menciona que varias veces pudieron haber terminado y regresado.
Letra de loml, de Taylor Swift
Who’s gonna stop us from waltzing back into rekindled flames
If we know the steps anyway?
We embroidered the memories of the time I was away
Stitching, “We were just kids, babe”
I said, “I don’t mind, it takes time”
I thought I was better safe than starry-eyed
I’ve felt a glow like this never before and never since.
If you know it in one glimpse, it’s legendary.
You and I go from one kiss to getting marriеd.
Still alive, killing time at the cеmetery
Never quite buried.
And you suit and tie in the nick of time
You low-down boy, you stand-up guy
You holy ghost, you told me I’m the love of your life
You said I’m the love of your life
About a million times.
Who’s gonna tell me the truth when you blew in with the winds of fate
And told me I reformed you?
When your impressionist paintings of heaven turned out to be fakes
Well, you took me to hell too
And all at once, the ink bleeds
A con man sells a fool a get-love-quick scheme
I’ve felt a hole like this never before and ever since
If you know it in one glimpse, it’s legendary
What we thought was for all time was momentary
Still alive, killing time at the cemetery
Never quite buried
You cinephile in black and white
All those plot twists and dynamite
Mr. “Steal your girl, then make her cry”
You said I’m the love of your life
You shit-talked me under the table
Talkin’ rings and talkin’ cradles
I wish I could unrecall
How we almost had it all
Dancing phantoms on the terrace
Are they second-hand embarrassed
That I can’t get out of bed
‘Cause something counterfeit’s dead?
It was legendary
It was momentary
It was unnecessary
Should I let it stay buried?
[Coro]
Oh, what a valiant roar
What a bland goodbye
The coward claimed he was a lion
I’m combing through the braids of lies
I’ll never leave, never mind
Our field of dreams engulfed in fire
Your arsons match your somber eyes
And I’ll still see it until I die
You’re the loss of my life.

I can do it with a broken heart
Taylor también tiene un tema que habla de cómo fue terminar la relación en medio de un tour, en “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart”.
Letra de I can do it with a broken heart, de Taylor Swift
I can read your mind:
“She’s having the time of her life
There in her glittering prime
The lights refract sequin stars off her silhouette every night”.
I can show you lies
(One, two, three, four).
[Coro]
‘Cause I’m a real tough kid
I can handle my shit
They said, “Babe, you gotta fake it ‘til you make it” and I did
Lights, camera, bitch, smile
Even when you wanna die
He said he’d love me all his life
But that life was too short
Breaking down, I hit the floor
All the piеces of me shatterеd as the crowd was chanting, “More”
I was grinnin’ like I’m winnin’
I was hittin’ my marks
‘Cause I can do it with a broken heart
(One, two, three, four).
I’m so depressed, I act like it’s my birthday every day
I’m so obsessed with him, but he avoids me like the plague
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 doin’ it since he left
I keep finding his things in drawers
Crucial evidence I didn’t imagine the whole thing
I’m sure I can pass this test
(One, two, three, four).
You know you’re good when you can even do it with a broken heart
You know you’re good, haha, good
‘Cause I’m miserable
and nobody even knows.
Ah, try and come for my job.
Black dog
Asimismo en “Black Dog” habla la sensación de pensar dónde está él e imaginarse qué siente.
I am someone who until recent events
you shared your secrets with.
And your location, you forgot to turn it off
and so I watch as you walk
into some bar called The Black Dog,
and pierce new holes in my heart.
You forgot to turn it off
and it hits me.
[Coro]
I just don’t understand how you don’t miss me
In The Black Dog, when someone plays “The Starting Line”
And you jump up, but she’s too young to know this song
That was intertwined in the magic fabric of our dreaming
Old habits die screaming.
I move through the world with a heart broken
My longing state unspoken
And I may never open up thе way I did for you
And all of those best laid plans
You said I needed a bravе man
Then proceeded to play him
Until I believed it too
And it kills me.
I just don’t understand how you don’t miss me
In the shower and remember how my rain-soaked body
Was shakin’, do you hate me?
Was it hazing for a cruel fraternity?
I pledged and I still mean it
Old habits die screaming.
Six weeks of breathin’ clean air
I still miss the smoke
Were you makin’ fun of me
With some esoteric joke?
Now I wanna sell my house
And set fire to all my clothes
And hire a priest to come and exorcise my demons
Even if I die screaming
And I hope you hear it.
Fresh out the slammer, otra de las canciones que dedicó a Joe Alwyn
Finalmente en “Fresh Out The Slammer” señala la libertad que siente ya que todo terminó.
Now, pretty baby
I’m runnin’ back home to you
Fresh out the slammer
I know who my first call will be to
(Fresh out the slammer, oh).
Another summer, takin’ cover, rolling thunder
He don’t understand me
Splintered back in winter, silent dinners, bitter
He was with her in dreams.
[Coro]
Gray and blue and fights and tunnels
Handcuffed to the spell I was under
For just one hour of sunshine
Years of labor, locks and ceilings
In the shade of how he was feeling
But it’s gonna be alright, I did my time.
Now, pretty baby
I’m runnin’ back home to you
Frеsh out the slammer
I know who my first call will be to
Camera flashes, welcome bashes, get the matches
Toss the ashes off the ledge
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
Watch me daily disappearing
For just one glimpse of his smile
All those nights, he kept me goin’
Swirled you into all of my poems
Now we’re at the starting line, I did my time.
[Post-Chorus]
Now, pretty baby
I’m runnin’
To the house where you still wait up and that porch light gleams.
To the one who says I’m the girl of his American dreams
And no matter what I’ve done, it wouldn’t matter anyway
Ain’t no way I’m gonna screw up now that I know what’s at stake here
At the park where we used to sit on children’s swings
Wearing imaginary rings.
