The Story Of Us(Commentary) - Taylor Swift

[01:17.0][Verse 1
[01:17.0]I used to think one day, we'd tell the story of us
[01:17.0]How we met, and the sparks flew instantly
[01:17.0]And people would say, they're the lucky ones
[01:17.0]I used to know my place was a spot next to you
[01:17.0]Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
[01:17.0]'Cause lately, I don't even know what page you're on
[01:17.0][Pre-Chorus 1
[01:17.0]Oh, a simple complication
[01:17.0]Miscommunications lead to fallout
[01:17.0]So many things that I wish you knew
[01:17.0]So many walls up, I can't break through
[01:17.0][Chorus
[01:17.0]Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
[01:17.0]And we're not speaking
[01:17.0]And I'm dying to know
[01:17.0]Is it killing you like it's killing me?
[01:17.0]Yeah, I don't know what to say
[01:17.0]Since the twist of fate when it all broke down
[01:17.0]And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
[01:17.0]Next chapter
[01:17.0][Verse 2
[01:17.0]How'd we end up this way?
[01:17.0]See me nervously pulling at my clothes and trying to look busy
[01:17.0]And you're doing your best to avoid me
[01:17.0]I'm starting to think one day, I'll tell the story of us
[01:17.0]Of how I was losing my mind when I saw you here
[01:17.0]But you held your pride like you should've held me
[01:17.0]
[01:17.0][Pre-Chorus 2
[01:17.0]Oh, I'm scared to see the ending
[01:17.0]Why are we pretending this is nothing?
[01:17.0]I'd tell you I miss you, but I don't know how
[01:17.0]I've never heard silence quite this loud
[01:17.0][Chorus
[01:17.0]Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
[01:17.0]And we're not speaking
[01:17.0]And I'm dying to know
[01:17.0]Is it killing you like it's killing me?
[01:17.0]Yeah, and I don't know what to say
[01:17.0]Since the twist of fate, when it all broke down
[01:17.0]And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
[01:17.0][Bridge
[01:17.0]This is looking like a contest
[01:17.0]Of who can act like they care less
[01:17.0]But I liked it better when you were on my side
[01:17.0]The battle's in your hands now
[01:17.0]But I would lay my armor down
[01:17.0]If you say you'd rather love than fight
[01:17.0]So many things that you wish I knew
[01:17.0]But the story of us might be ending soon
[01:17.0][Chorus
[01:17.0]Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
[01:17.0]And we're not speaking
[01:17.0]And I'm dying to know
[01:17.0]Is it killing you like it's killing me?
[01:17.0]Yeah, and I don't know what to say
[01:17.0]Since the twist of fate, when it all broke down
[01:17.0]And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now
[01:17.0]
[01:17.0][Outro
[01:17.0]And we're not speaking
[01:17.0]And I'm dying to know
[01:17.0]Is it killing you like it's killing me, yeah?
[01:17.0]I don't know what to say since the twist of fate
[01:17.0]'Cause we're going down
[01:17.0]And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
[01:17.0]The End
