Singer: Taylor Swift

    Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago,/ I was in your sights, you got me all alone.

    You found me.

    I guess you didn’t care, and I guess I liked that,/ And when I fell hard, you took a step back.

    Without me.

    And he’s long gone, when he’s next to me,/ And I realize the blame is on me.

    Chorus

    ‘Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in.

    So shame on me now

    Flew me to places I’d never been.

    So you put me down.

    Oh, I knew you were trouble when you walked in.

    So shame on me now

    Flew me to places I’d never been.

    Now I’m lying on the cold hard ground.

    No apologies, he’ll never see you cry,

    Pretends he doesn’t know that he’s the reason why.

    You’re drowning.

    Now I heard you moved on, from whispers on the street,

    A new notch in your belt is all I’ll ever be./ And now I see.

    He was long gone when he met me,

    And I realize the joke is on me.

    And the saddest fear, comes creeping in,/ That you never loved me, or her, or anyone, or anything.
