Act I – Lover

"Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince"

[Verse 1]

You know I adore you, I'm crazier for you

Than I was at sixteen, lost in a film scene

Waving homecoming queens, marching band playing

I'm lost in the lights

American glory faded before me

Now I'm feeling hopeless, ripped up my prom dress

Running through rose thorns, I saw the scoreboard

And ran for my life (Ah)

[Pre-Chorus]

No cameras catch my pageant smile

I counted days, I counted miles

To see you there, to see you there

It's been a long time coming, but

 [Chorus]

It's you and me, that's my whole world

They whisper in the hallway, "She's a bad, bad girl" (Okay)

The whole school is rolling fake dice

You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes

It's you and me, there's nothing like this

Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince (Okay)

We're so sad, we paint the town blue

Voted most likely to run away with you

[Verse 2]

My team is losing, battered and bruising

I see the high fives between the bad guys

Leave with my head hung, you are the only one

Who seems to care

American stories burning before me

I'm feeling helpless, the damsels are depressed

Boys will be boys then, where are the wise men?

Darling, I'm scared (Ah)

 [Pre-Chorus]

No cameras catch my muffled cries

I counted days, I counted miles

To see you there, to see you there

And now the storm is coming, but

[Chorus]

It's you and me, that's my whole world

They whisper in the hallway, "She's a bad, bad girl" (Okay)

The whole school is rolling fake dice

You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes

It's you and me, there's nothing like this

Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince (Okay)

We're so sad, we paint the town blue

Voted most likely to run away with you

[Bridge]

And I don't want you to (Go), I don't really wanna (Fight)

'Cause nobody's gonna (Win), I think you should come home

And I don't want you to (Go), I don't really wanna (Fight)

'Cause nobody's gonna (Win), I think you should come home

And I don't want you to (Go), I don't really wanna (Fight)

'Cause nobody's gonna (Win), just thought you should know

And I'll never let you (Go) 'cause I know this is a (Fight)

That someday we're gonna (Win)

[Chorus]

It's you and me, that's my whole world

They whisper in the hallway, "She's a bad, bad girl"

Oh, I just thought you should know (You should know)

It's you and me, there's nothing like this (Like this)

Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince (Okay)

We're so sad, we paint the town blue (Paint it blue)

Voted most likely to run away with you

[Post-Chorus]

And I don't want you to (Go), I don't really wanna (Fight)

'Cause nobody's gonna (Win), I think you should come home

And I'll never let you (Go) 'cause I know this is a (Fight)
That someday we're gonna (Win), just thought you should know

[Outro]

It's you and me, that's my whole world

They whisper in the hallway, "She's a bad, bad girl"

"She's a bad, bad girl"

 "Cruel Summer"
[Intro]

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 1]

Fever dream high in the quiet of the night

You know that I caught it (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)

Bad, bad boy, shiny toy with a price

You know that I bought it (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)

[Pre-Chorus]

Killing me slow, out the window

I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below

Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes

What doesn't kill me makes me want you more

[Chorus]

And it's new, the shape of your body

It's blue, the feeling I've got

 And it's ooh, woah-oh

It's a cruel summer

It's cool, that's what I tell 'em

No rules in breakable heaven

But ooh, woah-oh

It's a cruel summer with you

[Verse 2]

Hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine

I'm not dying (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)

We say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times

We're not trying (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)

[Pre-Chorus]

So cut the headlights, summer's a knife

I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone

Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes

And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know, oh

[Chorus]
 It's new, the shape of your body

It's blue, the feeling I've got

And it's ooh, woah-oh

It's a cruel summer

It's cool, that's what I tell 'em

No rules in breakable heaven

But ooh, woah-oh

It's a cruel summer with you

[Bridge]

I'm drunk in the back of the car

And I cried like a baby comin' home from the bar (Oh)

Said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true

I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you

And I snuck in through the garden gate

Every night that summer just to seal my fate (Oh)

And I scream, "For whatever it's worth

I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"

He looks up, grinnin' like a devil

 [Chorus]

It's new, the shape of your body

It's blue, the feeling I've got

And it's ooh, woah-oh

It's a cruel summer

It's cool, that's what I tell 'em

No rules in breakable heaven

But ooh, woah-oh

It's a cruel summer with you

[Outro]

I'm drunk in the back of the car

And I cried like a baby comin' home from the bar (Oh)

Said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true

I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you

And I snuck in through the garden gate

Every night that summer just to seal my fate (Oh)

And I scream, "For whatever it's worth

I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
 "The Man"
[Verse 1]

I would be complex, I would be cool

They'd say I played the field before I found someone to commit to

And that would be okay for me to do

Every conquest I had made would make me more of a boss to you

[Pre-Chorus]

I’d be a fearless leader, I'd be an alpha type

When everyone believes ya, what's that like?

[Chorus]

I’m so sick of running as fast as I can

Wonderin' if I'd get there quicker if I was a man

And I'm so sick of them comin' at me again

'Cause if I was a man, then I'd be the man

I'd be the man (Man)

I’d be the man (Man)

 [Verse 2]

They’d say I hustled, put in the work

They wouldn't shake their heads and question how much of this I deserve

What I was wearing, if I was rude

Could all be separated from my good ideas and power moves

[Pre-Chorus]

And they would toast to me, oh (Ayy), let the players play

I’d be just like Leo in Saint-Tropez

[Chorus]

I'm so sick of running as fast as I can

Wonderin' if I'd get there quicker if I was a man

And I’m so sick of them comin' at me again

'Cause if I was a man, then I'd be the man

I'd be the man (Man)

I'd be the man (Man)

[Bridge]

What's it like to brag about raking in dollars

 And getting bitches and models?

And it's all good if you're bad

And it's okay if you're mad

If I was out flashin' my dollars

I'd be a bitch, not a baller

They'd paint me out to be bad

So it's okay that I'm mad

[Chorus]

I'm so sick of running as fast as I can

Wonderin' if I'd get there quicker if I was a man (You know that)

And I'm so sick of them comin' at me again (Comin' at me again)

'Cause if I was a man (If I was a man), then I'd be the man (Then I'd be the
man)

I'm so sick of running as fast as I can (As fast as I can)

Wonderin' if I'd get there quicker if I was a man (Hey)

And I'm so sick of them comin' at me again (Comin' at me again)

'Cause if I was a man (If I was a man), then I'd be the man

I'd be the man (Man)

 I'd be the man (Man, oh)

I'd be the man (Man, yeah)

I'd be the man (Man, I'd be the man)

[Outro]

If I was a man

Then I'd be the man

 "You Need to Calm Down"
[Verse 1]

You are somebody that I don't know

But you're takin' shots at me like it's Patrón

And I'm just like, damn, it's 7 AM

Say it in the street, that's a knock-out

But you say it in a Tweet, that's a cop-out

And I'm just like, "Hey, are you okay?"

[Pre-Chorus]

And I ain't tryna mess with your self-expression

But I've learned a lesson that stressin' and obsessin' 'bout somebody else is
no fun

And snakes and stones never broke my bones

[Chorus]

So oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

You need to calm down, you're being too loud

And I'm just like oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Oh)
 You need to just stop, like can you just not step on my gown?

You need to calm down

[Verse 2]

You are somebody that we don't know

But you're comin' at my friends like a missile

Why are you mad when you could be GLAAD? (You could be GLAAD)

Sunshine on the street at the parade

But you would rather be in the dark ages

Makin' that sign must've taken all night

[Pre-Chorus]

You just need to take several seats and then try to restore the peace

And control your urges to scream about all the people you hate

'Cause shade never made anybody less gay

[Chorus]

So oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

You need to calm down, you're being too loud

And I'm just like oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Oh)
You need to just stop, like can you just not step on his gown?

You need to calm down

[Bridge]

And we see you over there on the internet

Comparing all the girls who are killing it

But we figured you out

We all know now we all got crowns

You need to calm down

[Chorus]

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

You need to calm down (You need to calm down)

You're being too loud (You're being too loud)

And I'm just like oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Oh)

You need to just stop (Can you stop?)

Like can you just not step on our gowns?

You need to calm down

 "Lover"
[Verse 1]

We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January

And this is our place, we make the rules

And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear

Have I known you twenty seconds or twenty years?

[Chorus]

Can I go where you go?

Can we always be this close?

Forever and ever, ah

Take me out and take me home

You're my, my, my, my lover

[Verse 2]

We could let our friends crash in the living room

This is our place, we make the call

And I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you
I've loved you three summers now, honey, but I want 'em all

[Chorus]

Can I go where you go?

Can we always be this close?

Forever and ever, ah

Take me out and take me home (Forever and ever)

You're my, my, my, my lover

[Bridge]

Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?

With every guitar string scar on my hand

I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover

My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue

All's well that ends well to end up with you

Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover

And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me

And at every table, I'll save you a seat, lover

[Chorus]
 Can I go where you go?

Can we always be this close?

Forever and ever, ah

Take me out and take me home (Forever and ever)

You're my, my, my, my

Oh, you're my, my, my, my

Darling, you're my, my, my, my lover

 Act II – Fearless
"Fearless"
[Verse 1]

There's something 'bout the way

The street looks when it's just rained

There's a glow off the pavement, you walk me to the car

And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there

In the middle of the parking lot, yeah

Oh, yeah

[Verse 2]

We're driving down the road, I wonder if you know

I'm trying so hard not to get caught up now

But you're just so cool, run your hands through your hair

Absent-mindedly making me want you

[Chorus]

And I don't know how it gets better than this

 You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless

And I don't know why but with you I'd dance

In a storm in my best dress, fеarless

[Verse 3]

So, baby, drive slow 'til we run out of road in this onе-horse town

I wanna stay right here, in this passenger's seat

You put your eyes on me

In this moment now, capture it, remember it

[Chorus]

'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless

And I don't know why but with you I'd dance

In a storm in my best dress, fearless

Oh, oh

[Bridge]

Well, you stood there with me in the doorway

My hands shake, I'm not usually this way but

 You pull me in and I'm a little more brave

It's the first kiss, it's flawless, really something

It's fearless

Oh, yeah

[Chorus]

'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless

And I don't know why but with you I'd dance

In a storm in my best dress, fearless

'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless

And I don't know why but with you I'd dance

In a storm in my best dress, fearless

[Outro]

Oh, oh

Oh-oh, yeah
 "You Belong with Me"
[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

'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

[Chorus]

If you could see that I'm the onе who understands you

Been here all along, so why can't you see?

 You bеlong with me, you belong with me

[Verse 2]

Walking the streets with you and 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 could 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, whatcha doing with a girl like that?

[Pre-Chorus]

She wears high heels, I wear sneakers

She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers

Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find

That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

[Chorus]

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?

You belong with me, you belong with me

[Bridge]

Oh, I remember you driving to my house

In the middle of the night

I'm the one who makes you laugh

When you know you're 'bout to cry

I know your favorite songs

And you tell me 'bout your dreams

Think I know where you belong

Think I know it's with me

[Chorus]

Can't you 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?

You belong with me, you belong with me

[Outro]

You belong with me

Have you ever thought just maybe

You belong with me?

You belong with me

 "Love Story"
[Verse 1]

We were both young when I first saw you

I close my eyes and the flashback starts

I'm standing there

On a balcony in summer air

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns

See you make your way through the crowd

And say, "Hello"

Little did I know

[Pre-Chorus]

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"

And I was crying on the staircase

Begging you, "Please don't go," and I said

[Chorus]
 Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"

[Verse 2]

So I sneak out to the garden to see you

We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew

So close your eyes

Escape this town for a little while, oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"

But you were everything to me

I was begging you, "Please don't go," and I said

[Chorus]

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run

 You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"

Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel

This love is difficult, but it's real

Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, oh

[Bridge]

But I got tired of waiting

Wondering if you were ever coming around

My faith in you was fading

When I met you on the outskirts of town

[Chorus]

And I said, "Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone

I keep waiting for you, but you never come

 Is this in my head? I don't know what to think"

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring, and said

"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone

I love you and that's all I really know

I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress

It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes'"

[Outro]

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

 Act III – Evermore
"Willow"
[Verse 1]

I'm like the water when your ship rolled in that night

Rough on the surface, but you cut through like a knife

And if it was an open-shut case

I never would've known from that look on your face

Lost in your current like a priceless wine

[Chorus]

The more that you say, the less I know

Wherever you stray, I follow

I'm begging for you to take my hand

Wreck my plans, that's my man

[Verse 2]

Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind

Head on the pillow, I could feel you sneakin' in

 As if you were a mythical thing

Like you were a trophy or a champion ring

And there was one prize I'd cheat to win

[Chorus]

The more that you say, the less I know

Wherever you stray, I follow

I'm begging for you to take my hand

Wreck my plans, that's my man

You know that my train could take you home

Anywhere else is hollow

I'm begging for you to take my hand

Wreck my plans, that's my man

[Bridge]

Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind

They count me out time and time again

Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind

But I come back stronger than a '90s trend

 [Verse 3]

Wait for the signal, and I'll meet you after dark

Show me the places where the others gave you scars

Now this is an open-shut case

I guess I should've known from the look on your face

Every bait-and-switch was a work of art

[Chorus]

The more that you say, the less I know

Wherever you stray, I follow

I'm begging for you to take my hand

Wreck my plans, that's my man

You know that my train could take you home

Anywhere else is hollow

I'm begging for you to take my hand

Wreck my plans, that's my man

The more that you say, the less I know

Wherever you stray, I follow

I'm begging for you to take my hand

 Wreck my plans, that's my man

You know that my train could take you home

Anywhere else is hollow

I'm begging for you to take my hand

Wreck my plans, that's my man

[Outro]

Hey, that's my man

That's my man

Yeah, that's my man

Every bait-and-switch was a work of art

That's my man

Hey, that's my man

I'm begging for you to take my hand

Wreck my plans, that's my man

 "Marjorie"
[Verse 1]

Never be so kind

You forget to be clever

Never be so clever

You forget to be kind

[Pre-Chorus]

And if I didn't know better

I'd think you were talking to me now

If I didn't know better

I'd think you were still around

[Chorus]

What died didn't stay dead

What died didn't stay dead

You're alive, you're alive in my head

What died didn't stay dead

 What died didn't stay dead

You're alive, so alive

[Verse 2]

Never be so politе

You forget your power

Nevеr wield such power

You forget to be polite

[Pre-Chorus]

And if I didn't know better

I'd think you were listening to me now

If I didn't know better

I'd think you were still around

[Chorus]

What died didn't stay dead

What died didn't stay dead

You're alive, you're alive in my head

What died didn't stay dead

 What died didn't stay dead

You're alive, so alive

[Bridge]

The autumn chill that wakes me up

You loved the amber skies so much

Long limbs and frozen swims

You'd always go past where our feet could touch

And I complained the whole way there

The car ride back and up the stairs

I should've asked you questions

I should've asked you how to be

Asked you to write it down for me

Should've kept every grocery store receipt

'Cause every scrap of you would be taken from me

Watched as you signed your name Marjorie

All your closets of backlogged dreams

And how you left them all to me

[Chorus]
 What died didn't stay dead

What died didn't stay dead

You're alive, you're alive in my head

What died didn't stay dead

What died didn't stay dead

You're alive, so alive

[Outro]

And if I didn't know better

I'd think you were singing to me now

If I didn't know better

I'd think you were still around

I know better

But I still feel you all around

I know better

But you're still around

 "Champagne Problems"
[Verse 1]

You booked the night train for a reason

So you could sit there in this hurt

Bustling crowds or silent sleepers

You're not sure which is worse

[Chorus]

Because I dropped your hand while dancing

Left you out there standing

Crestfallen on the landing

Champagne problems

Your mom's ring in your pocket

My picture in your wallet

Your heart was glass, I dropped it

Champagne problems

[Verse 2]
 You told your family for a reason

You couldn't keep it in

Your sister splashed out on the bottle

Now no one's celebrating

[Chorus]

Dom Pérignon, you brought it

No crowd of friends applauded

Your hometown skeptics called it

Champagne problems

You had a speech, you're speechless

Love slipped beyond your reaches

And I couldn't give a reason

Champagne problems

[Bridge]

Your Midas touch on the Chevy door

November flush and your flannel cure

"This dorm was once a madhouse"

I made a joke, "Well, it's made for me"

 How evergreen, our group of friends

Don't think we'll say that word again

And soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls

That we once walked through

One for the money, two for the show

I never was ready so I watch you go

Sometimes you just don't know the answer

'Til someone's on their knees and asks you

"She would've made such a lovely bride

What a shame she's fucked in the head," they said

But you'll find the real thing instead

She'll patch up your tapestry that I shred

[Chorus]

And hold your hand while dancing

Never leave you standing

Crestfallen on the landing

With champagne problems

Your mom's ring in your pocket

Her picture in your wallet

You won't remember all my

Champagne problems

[Outro]

You won't remember all my

Champagne problems
 "Tolerate It"
[Verse 1]

I sit and watch you reading with your head low

I wake and watch you breathing with your eyes closed

I sit and watch you

I notice everything you do or don't do

You're so much older and wiser, and I

[Chorus]

I wait by the door like I'm just a kid

Use my best colors for your portrait

Lay the table with the fancy shit

And watch you tolerate it

If it's all in my head, tell me now

Tell me I've got it wrong somehow

I know my love should be celebrated

But you tolerate it

 [Verse 2]

I greet you with a battle hero's welcome

I take your indiscretions all in good fun

I sit and listеn, I polish plates until they gleam and glistеn

You're so much older and wiser and I

[Chorus]

I wait by the door like I'm just a kid

Use my best colors for your portrait

Lay the table with the fancy shit

And watch you tolerate it

If it's all in my head, tell me now

Tell me I've got it wrong somehow

I know my love should be celebrated

But you tolerate it

[Bridge]

While you were out building other worlds, where was I?

Where's that man who'd throw blankets over my barbed wire?

I made you my temple, my mural, my sky

Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life

Drawing hearts in the byline

Always taking up too much space or time

You assume I'm fine, but what would you do if I

[Chorus]

Break free and leave us in ruins

Took this dagger in me and removed it

Gain the weight of you, then lose it

Believe me, I could do it

If it's all in my head, tell me now

Tell me I've got it wrong somehow

I know my love should be celebrated

But you tolerate it

[Outro]

I sit and watch you

 Act IV – Reputation
"...Ready for It?"
[Verse 1]

Knew he was a killer first time that I saw him

Wondered how many girls he had loved and left haunted

But if he's a ghost, then I can be a phantom

Holdin' him for ransom, some

Some boys are tryin' too hard, he don't try at all, though

Younger than my exes, but he act like such a man, so

I see nothing better, I keep him forever

Like a vendetta-ta

[Pre-Chorus]

I, I, I see how this is gon' go

Touch me and you'll never be alone

I-Island breeze and lights down low

No one has to know

 [Chorus]

In the middle of the night, in my dreams

You should see the things we do, baby, mmm

In the middle of the night, in my dreams

I know I'm gonna be with you, so I take my time

Are you ready for it?

[Verse 2]

Knew I was a robber first time that he saw me

Stealing hearts and running off and never sayin' sorry

But if I'm a thief, then he can join the heist, and

We'll move to an island, and

And he can be my jailer, Burton to this Taylor

Every love I've known in comparison is a failure

I forget their names now, I'm so very tame now

Never be the same now, now

[Pre-Chorus]

I, I, I see how this is gon' go

Touch me and you'll never be alone

 I-Island breeze and lights down low

No one has to know (No one has to know)

[Chorus]

In the middle of the night, in my dreams

Let the games begin

Are you ready for it?

Baby, let the games begin

Let the games begin

Are you ready for it?

 "Delicate"
[Intro]

This ain't for the best

My reputation's never been worse, so

You must like me for me

We can't make

Any promises now, can we, babe?

But you can make me a drink

[Verse 1]

Dive bar on the East Side, where you at?

Phone lights up my nightstand in the black

Come here, you can meet me in the back

Dark jeans and your Nikes, look at you

Oh, damn, never seen that color blue

Just think of the fun things we could do

[Pre-Chorus]
('Cause I like you) This ain't for the best

My reputation's never been worse, so

You must like me for me

(Yeah, I want you) We can't make

Any promises now, can we, babe?

But you can make me a drink

[Chorus]

Is it cool that I said all that?

Is it chill that you're in my head?

'Cause I know that it's delicate (Delicate)

Is it cool that I said all that?

Is it too soon to do this yet?

'Cause I know that it's delicate

[Post-Chorus]

Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it?

Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it delicate?

[Verse 2]
 Third floor on the West Side, me and you

Handsome, you're a mansion with a view

Do the girls back home touch you like I do?

Long night with your hands up in my hair

Echoes of your footsteps on the stairs

Stay here, honey, I don't wanna share

[Pre-Chorus]

('Cause I like you) This ain't for the best

My reputation's never been worse, so

You must like me for me

(Yeah, I want you) We can't make

Any promises now, can we, babe?

But you can make me a drink

[Chorus]

Is it cool that I said all that?

Is it chill that you're in my head?

[Post-Chorus]

Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it?

Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it delicate?

[Bridge]

Sometimes, I wonder, when you sleep

Are you ever dreaming of me?

Sometimes, when I look into your eyes

I pretend you're mine all the damn time

[Chorus]

('Cause I like you)

Is it cool that I said all that?

Is it chill that you're in my head?

'Cause I know that it's delicate (Delicate)

(Yeah, I want you)

 Is it cool that I said all that?

Is it too soon to do this yet?

'Cause I know that it's delicate (Delicate)

('Cause I like you)

 "Don't Blame Me"
[Intro]

Don't blame me, love made me crazy

If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right

Lord, save me, my drug is my baby

I'll be usin' for the rest of my life

[Verse 1]

I've been breakin' hearts a long time

And toyin' with them older guys

Just playthings for me to use

Something happened for the first time

In the darkest little paradise

Shaking, pacin', I just need you

[Pre-Chorus]

For you, I would cross the line

I would waste my time

 I would lose my mind

They say, "She's gone too far this time"

[Chorus]

Don't blame me, love made me crazy

If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right

Lord, save me, my drug is my baby

I'll be usin' for the rest of my life

Don't blame me, love made me crazy

If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right

Oh, Lord, save me, my drug is my baby

I'll be usin' for the rest of my life

[Verse 2]

My name is whatever you decide

And I'm just gonna call you mine

I'm insane, but I'm your baby (Your baby)

Echoes (Echoes) of your name inside my mind

Halo hiding my obsession

I once was poison ivy, but now, I'm your daisy

 [Pre-Chorus]

And, baby, for you

I would (I would) fall from grace

Just to (Just to) touch your face

If you (If you) walk away, I'd beg you on my knees to stay

[Chorus]

Don't blame me, love made me crazy

If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right

Lord, save me, my drug is my baby

I'll be usin' for the rest of my life (Yeah, ooh)

If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right (Doin' it right)

Oh, Lord, save me, my drug is my baby

I'll be usin' for the rest of my life

[Bridge]

I get so high, oh
 Every time you're, every time you're lovin' me

You're lovin' me

Trip of my life, oh

Every time you're, every time you're touchin' me

You're touchin' me

Every time you're, every time you're lovin' me

[Breakdown]

Oh, Lord, save me, my drug is my baby

I'll be usin' for the rest of my life

(Usin' for the rest of my life, oh-woah-oh-oh)

Don't blame me, love made me crazy

If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right (Doin' it right, no)

Lord, save me, my drug is my baby

Don't blame me, love made me crazy (Oh-oh-oh)

If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right (You ain't doin' it right)

You're lovin' me

Oh, Lord, save me, my drug is my baby

I'll be usin' for the rest of my life

 "Look What You Made Me Do"
[Verse 1]

I don't like your little games

Don't like your tilted stage

The role you made me play

Of the fool, no, I don't like you

I don't like your perfect crime

How you laugh when you lie

You said the gun was mine

Isn't cool, no, I don't like you (Oh)

[Pre-Chorus]

But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time

Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time

I've got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined

I check it once, then I check it twice, oh!

[Chorus]
 Ooh, look what you made me do

Look what you made me do

Look what you just made me do

Look what you just made me

Ooh, look what you made me do

Look what you made me do

Look what you just made me do

Look what you just made me do

[Verse 2]

I don't like your kingdom keys

They once belonged to me

You asked me for a place to sleep

Locked me out and threw a feast (What?)

The world moves on, another day, another drama, drama

But not for me, not for me, all I think about is karma

And then the world moves on, but one thing's for sure

Maybe I got mine, but you'll all get yours

[Pre-Chorus]
 But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time

Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time

I've got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined

[Chorus]

Ooh, look what you made me do

Look what you made me do

Look what you just made me do

Look what you just made me

Ooh, look what you made me do

Look what you made me do

Look what you just made me do

Look what you just made me do

I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me

I'll be the actress starring in your bad dreams

I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me

I'll be the actress starring in your bad dreams

 I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me

I'll be the actress starring in your bad dreams

I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me

I'll be the actress starring in your bad dreams

(Ooh, look what you made me do

Look what you made me do

Look what you just made me do

Look what you just made me

Ooh, look what you made me do

Look what you made me do

Look what you just made me)

"I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now

"Why? Oh, 'cause she's dead!" (Oh)

[Chorus]

Ooh, look what you made me do

Look what you made me do

Look what you just made me do

 Act V – Speak Now
"Enchanted"
[Verse 1]

There I was again tonight

Forcing laughter, faking smiles

Same old tired, lonely place

Walls of insincerity

Shifting eyes and vacancy

Vanished when I saw your face

All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you

[Verse 2]

Your eyes whispered, "Have we met?"

Across the room, your silhouette

Starts to make its way to me

The playful conversation starts

Counter all your quick remarks

Like passing notes in secrecy

 And it was enchanting to meet you

All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you

[Chorus]

This night is sparklin', don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushin' all the way home

I'll spеnd forever wonderin' if you knеw

I was enchanted to meet you

[Verse 3]

The lingering question kept me up

2AM, who do you love?

I wonder 'til I'm wide awake

And now, I'm pacing back and forth

Wishing you were at my door

I'd open up and you would say

"Hey, it was enchanting to meet you"

All I know is I was enchanted to meet you

[Chorus]
 This night is sparklin', don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushin' all the way home

I'll spend forever wonderin' if you knew

This night is flawless, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone

I'll spend forever wonderin' if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you

[Bridge]

This is me praying that

This was the very first page

Not where the storyline ends

My thoughts will echo your name

Until I see you again

These are the words I held back

As I was leaving too soon

I was enchanted to meet you

Please, don't be in love with someone else

Please, don't have somebody waitin' on you

 Please, don't be in love with someone else (Ooh)

Please, don't have somebody waitin' on you (Oh-oh)

[Chorus]

This night is sparklin', don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushin' all the way home

I'll spend forever wonderin' if you knew

This night is flawless (Please, don't be in love with someone else)

Don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck (Please, don't have somebody waitin' on you)

Dancing around all alone

I'll spend forever (Please, don't be in love with someone else)

Wonderin' if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you

[Outro]

Please, don't be in love with someone else

Please, don't have somebody waitin' on you

 Act VI – Red
"22"
[Verse 1]

It feels like a perfect night

To dress up like hipsters

And make fun of our exes

Uh-uh, uh-uh

It feels like a perfect night

For breakfast at midnight

To fall in love with strangers

Uh-uh, uh-uh

[Pre-Chorus]

Yeah

We're happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time

It's miserable and magical, oh yeah

Tonight's the night when we forget about the deadlines

It's time, oh-oh

 [Chorus]

I don't know about you

But I'm feelin' twenty-two

Everything will be alright if

You keep me next to you

You don't know about me

But I'll bet you want to

Everything will bе alright if

We just keep dancin' like we'rе

Twenty-two

Twenty-two

[Verse 2]

It seems like one of those nights

This place is too crowded

Too many cool kids

Uh-uh, uh-uh (Who's Taylor Swift anyway? Ew)

It seems like one of those nights

We ditch the whole scene

 And end up dreamin'

Instead of sleepin'

[Pre-Chorus]

Yeah

We're happy, free, confused, and lonely in the best way

It's miserable and magical, oh, yeah

Tonight's the night when we forget about the heartbreaks

It's time, oh-oh

(Hey)

I don't know about you

But I'm feelin' twenty-two

Everything will be alright if (Ooh)

"We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together"
[Verse 1]

I remember when we broke up

The first time, sayin', "This is it, I've had enough"

'Cause, like, we hadn't seen each other in a month

When you said you needed space (What?)

Then you come around again and say

"Baby, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change"

"Trust me," remember how that lasted for a day?

I say, "I hate you," we break up, you call me, "I love you"

[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

We called it off again last night, but

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

This time, I'm telling you, I'm telling you

[Chorus]
 We are never, evеr, ever getting back togеther

We are never, ever, ever getting back together

You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me

But we are never, ever, ever, ever getting back together

[Post-Chorus]

Like, ever

[Verse 2]

I'm really gonna miss you picking fights

And me falling for it, screaming that I'm right

And you would hide away and find your peace of mind

With some indie record that's much cooler than mine

[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

You called me up again tonight, but

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

This time, I'm telling you, I'm telling you

 [Chorus]

We (We) are never, ever, ever getting back together

We are never, ever, ever getting back together

You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me (Talk to me)

But we are never, ever, ever, ever getting back together

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Yeah)

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Yeah)

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Yeah)

Oh

[Bridge]

I used to think that we were forever, ever

And I used to say, "Never say never"

Ugh, so he calls me up and he's like, "I still love you"

And I'm, like, I'm just, I mean, this is exhausting, you know?

Like, we are never getting back together

Like, ever (No)

 [Chorus]

We are never, ever, ever getting back together

We are never, ever, ever (Ooh) getting back together

You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me

But we are never, ever, ever, ever getting back together

[Outro]

We (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

No, getting back together (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

We (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Oh, getting back together, yeah (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me (Talk to me)

But we are never, ever, ever, ever getting back together

 "I Knew You Were Trouble"
[Verse 1]

Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago

I was in your sights, you got me alone

You found me, you found me

You found me-e-e-e-e

I guess you didn't care and I guess I liked that

And when I fell hard, you took a step back

Without me, without me

Without me-e-e-e-e

[Pre-Chorus]

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 troublе when you walked in

So shame on mе now
 Flew me to places I'd never been

'Til 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

Oh, oh

Trouble, trouble, trouble

Oh, oh

Trouble, trouble, trouble

[Verse 2]

No apologies, he'll never see you cry

Pretends he doesn't know that he's the reason why

You're drowning, you're drowning

You're drowning-ing-ing-ing-ing

And 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, now I see

Now I see-e-e-e-e
 [Pre-Chorus]

He was long gone when he met me

And I realize the joke is on me, hey

[Chorus]

I knew you were trouble when you walked in (Oh)

So shame on me now

Flew me to places I'd never been

'Til 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 (Yeah)

Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground

Oh, oh (Yeah)

Trouble, trouble, trouble (Trouble)

Oh, oh

Trouble, trouble, trouble

[Bridge]
 And the saddest fear

Comes creeping in

That you never loved me or her

Or anyone, or anything, yeah

[Chorus]

I knew you were trouble when you walked in

So shame on me now

Flew me to places I'd never been (Never been)

'Til you put me down, oh

I knew you were trouble when you walked in (Knew it right there)

So shame on me now (Knew it right there)

Flew me to places I'd never been (Ooh)

Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground

Oh, oh

Trouble, trouble, trouble (Oh)

Oh, oh

Trouble, trouble, trouble (Trouble)

'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in

 Trouble, trouble, trouble

'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in

Trouble, trouble, trouble

"All Too Well (10 Minute Version)"
[Verse 1]

I walked through the door with you, the air was cold

But somethin' 'bout it felt like home somehow

And I left my scarf there at your sister's house

And you've still got it in your drawer, even now

[Verse 2]

Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze

We're singin' in the car, getting lost upstate

Autumn leaves fallin' down like pieces into place

And I can picture it after all these days

[Pre-Chorus]

And I know it's long gone and

That magic's not here no more

And I might be okay, but I'm not fine at all

Oh, oh, oh
 [Chorus]

'Causе there we arе again on that little town street

You almost ran the red 'cause you were lookin' over at me

Wind in my hair, I was there

I remember it all too well

[Verse 3]

Photo album on the counter, your cheeks were turnin' red

You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bed

And your mother's tellin' stories 'bout you on the tee-ball team

You taught me 'bout your past, thinkin' your future was me

And you were tossing me the car keys, "Fuck the patriarchy"

Keychain on the ground, we were always skippin' town

And I was thinkin' on the drive down, "Any time now

He's gonna say it's love," you never called it what it was

'Til we were dead and gone and buried

Check the pulse and come back swearin' it's the same

After three months in the grave

And then you wondered where it went to as I reached for you

 But all I felt was shame and you held my lifeless frame

[Pre-Chorus]

And I know it's long gone and

There was nothing else I could do

And I forget about you long enough

To forget why I needed to

[Chorus]

'Cause there we are again in the middle of the night

We're dancin' 'round the kitchen in the refrigerator light

Down the stairs, I was there

I remember it all too well

And there we are again when nobody had to know

You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath

Sacred prayer and we'd swear

To remember it all too well, yeah

[Bridge]

Well, maybe we got lost in translation, maybe I asked for too much
 But maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up

Runnin' scared, I was there

I remember it all too well

And you call me up again just to break me like a promise

So casually cruel in the name of bein' honest

I'm a crumpled-up piece of paper lyin' here

'Cause I remember it all, all, all

[Verse 4]

They say all's well that ends well, but I'm in a new hell

Every time you double-cross my mind

You said if we had been closer in age, maybe it would've been fine

And that made me want to die

The idea you had of me, who was she?

A never-needy, ever-lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you

Not weepin' in a party bathroom

Some actress askin' me what happened, you

That's what happened, you

You who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes

Sippin' coffee like you're on a late-night show

But then he watched me watch the front door all night, willin' you to come

And he said, "It's supposed to be fun turning twenty-one"

[Verse 5]

Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it

I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still tryin' to find it

After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own

Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone

But you keep my old scarf from that very first week

'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me

You can't get rid of it

'Cause you remember it all too well, yeah

[Chorus]

'Cause there we are again when I loved you so

Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known

It was rare, I was there

I remember it all too well

Wind in my hair, you were there

 You remember it all

Down the stairs, you were there

You remember it all

It was rare, I was there

I remember it all too well

[Verse 6]

And I was never good at tellin' jokes, but the punch line goes

"I'll get older, but your lovers stay my age"

From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones

I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight

And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue?

Just between us, did the love affair maim you too?

'Cause in this city's barren cold

I still remember the first fall of snow

And how it glistened as it fell

I remember it all too well

[Outro]

Just between us, did the love affair maim you all too well?
 Just between us, do you remember it all too well?

Just between us, I remember it (Just between us) all too well

Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there (I was there)

Down the stairs, I was there, I was there

Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there

It was rare, you remember it all too well

Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there (Oh)

Down the stairs, I was there, I was there (I was there)

Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there

It was rare, you remember it (All too well)

Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there

Down the stairs, I was there, I was there

Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there

It was rare, you remember it

Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there

Down the stairs, I was there, I was there

Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there

It was rare, you remember it

 Act VII – Folklore
"The 1"
[Verse 1]

I'm doing good, I'm on some new shit

Been saying "yes" instead of "no"

I thought I saw you at the bus stop, I didn't though

I hit the ground running each night

I hit the Sunday matinée

You know the greatest films of all time were never made

[Pre-Chorus]

I guess you never know, never know

And if you wanted me, you really should've showed

And if you never bleed, you're never gonna grow

And it's alright now

[Chorus]

But we were something, don't you think so?

 Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool

And if my wishes came true

It would've been you

In my defense, I have none

For never leaving well enough alone

But it would've been fun

If you would've been the one

(Ooh)

[Verse 2]

I have this dream you're doing cool shit

Having adventures on your own

You meet some woman on the internet and take her home

We never painted by the numbers, baby

But we were making it count

You know the greatest loves of all time are over now

[Pre-Chorus]

I guess you never know, never know

And it's another day waking up alone

 [Chorus]

But we were something, don't you think so?

Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool

And if my wishes came true

It would've been you

In my defense, I have none

For never leaving well enough alone

But it would've been fun

If you would've been the one

[Bridge]

I, I, I persist and resist the temptation to ask you

If one thing had been different

Would everything be different today?

[Chorus]

We were something, don't you think so?

Rosé flowing with your chosen family

 And it would've been sweet

If it could've been me

In my defense, I have none

For digging up the grave another time

But it would've been fun

If you would've been the one

(Ooh)
 "Betty"
[Verse 1]

Betty, I won't make assumptions

About why you switched your homeroom, but

I think it's 'cause of me

Betty, one time, I was riding on my skateboard

When I passed your house

It's like I couldn't breathe

[Pre-Chorus]

You heard the rumors from Inez

You can't believe a word she says

Most times, but this time, it was true

The worst thing that I ever did

Was what I did to you

[Chorus]

But if I just showed up at your party

Would you have me? Would you want me?

Would you tell me to go fuck myself

Or lead me to the garden?

In the garden, would you trust me

If I told you it was just a summer thing?

I'm only seventeen, I don't know anything

But I know I miss you

[Verse 2]

Betty, I know where it all went wrong

Your favorite song was playing

From the far side of the gym

I was nowhere to be found

I hate the crowds, you know that

Plus, I saw you dance with him

[Pre-Chorus]

You heard the rumors from Inez

You can't believe a word she says

Most times, but this time, it was true

 The worst thing that I ever did

Was what I did to you

[Chorus]

But if I just showed up at your party

Would you have me? Would you want me?

Would you tell me to go fuck myself

Or lead me to the garden?

In the garden, would you trust me

If I told you it was just a summer thing?

I'm only seventeen, I don't know anything

But I know I miss you

[Bridge]

I was walking home on broken cobblestones

Just thinking of you when she pulled up like

A figment of my worst intentions

She said, "James, get in, let's drive"

Those days turned into nights

 Slept next to her, but

I dreamt of you all summer long

[Verse 3]

Betty, I'm here on your doorstep

And I planned it out for weeks now

But it's finally sinkin' in

Betty, right now is the last time

I can dream about what happens when

You see my face again

[Pre-Chorus]

The only thing I wanna do

Is make it up to you

So I showed up at your party

Yeah, I showed up at your party

[Chorus]

Yeah, I showed up at your party

Will you have me? Will you love me?

 Will you kiss me on the porch

In front of all your stupid friends?

If you kiss me, will it be just like I dreamed it?

Will it patch your broken wings?

I'm only seventeen, I don't know anything

But I know I miss you

[Outro]

Standing in your cardigan

Kissin' in my car again

Stopped at a streetlight

You know I miss you

 "The Last Great American Dynasty"
[Verse 1]

Rebekah rode up on the afternoon train, it was sunny

Her saltbox house on the coast took her mind off St. Louis

Bill was the heir to the Standard Oil name and money

And the town said, "How did a middle-class divorcée do it?"

The wedding was charming, if a little gauche

There's only so far new money goes

They picked out a home and called it "Holiday House"

Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud

The doctor had told him to settle down

It must have been her fault his heart gave out

[Chorus]

And they said

"There goes the last great American dynasty

Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been

There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen
 She had a marvelous time ruining everything"

[Verse 2]

Rebekah gave up on the Rhode Island set forever

Flew in all her Bitch Pack friends from the city

Filled the pool with champagne and swam with the big names

And blew through the money on the boys and the ballet

And losing on card game bets with Dalí

[Chorus]

And they said

"There goes the last great American dynasty

Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been

There goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seen

She had a marvelous time ruining everything"

[Bridge]

They say she was seen on occasion

Pacing the rocks, staring out at the midnight sea

And in a feud with her neighbor

 She stole his dog and dyed it key lime green

Fifty years is a long time

Holiday House sat quietly on that beach

Free of women with madness, their men and bad habits

And then it was bought by me

[Chorus]

Who knows, if I never showed up, what could've been

There goes the loudest woman this town has ever seen

I had a marvelous time ruining everything

[Outro]

I had a marvelous time ruining everything

A marvelous time ruining everything

A marvelous time

I had a marvelous time

 "August"
[Verse 1]

Salt air, and the rust on your door

I never needed anything more

Whispers of "Are you sure?"

"Never have I ever before"

[Chorus]

But I can see us lost in the memory

August slipped away into a moment in time

'Cause it was never mine

And I can see us twisted in bedsheets

August sipped away like a bottle of wine

'Cause you were never mine

[Verse 2]

Your back beneath the sun

Wishin' I could write my name on it

 Will you call when you're back at school?

I remember thinkin' I had you

[Chorus]

But I can see us lost in the memory

August slipped away into a moment in time

'Cause it was never mine

And I can see us twisted in bedsheets

August sipped away like a bottle of wine

'Cause you were never mine

[Bridge]

Back when we were still changin' for the better

Wanting was enough

For me, it was enough

To live for the hope of it all

Cancel plans just in case you'd call

And say, "Meet me behind the mall"

So much for summer love and saying "us"

'Cause you weren't mine to lose

 You weren't mine to lose, no

[Chorus]

But I can see us lost in the memory

August slipped away into a moment in time

'Cause it was never mine

And I can see us twisted in bedsheets

August sipped away like a bottle of wine

'Cause you were never mine

[Outro]

'Cause you were never mine

Never mine

But do you remember?

Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"

And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?

Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all

"Meet me behind the mall"

(Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car")

 (And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?)

(Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)

("Meet me behind the mall")

Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"

And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?

Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all (For the hope of it all)

For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all

(For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)

 "Illicit Affairs"
[Verse 1]

Make sure nobody sees you leave

Hood over your head, keep your eyes down

Tell your friends you're out for a run

You’ll be flushed when you return

Take the road less traveled by

Tell yourself you can always stop

What started in beautiful rooms

Ends with meetings in parking lots

[Chorus]

And that's the thing about illicit affairs

And clandestine meetings and longing stares

It's born from just one single glance

But it dies and it dies and it dies

A million little times

 [Verse 2]

Leave the perfume on the shelf

That you picked out just for him

So you leave no trace behind

Like you don’t even exist

Take the words for what they are

A dwindling, mercurial high

A drug that only worked

The first few hundred times

[Chorus]

And that's the thing about illicit affairs

And clandestine meetings and stolen stares

They show their truth one single time

But they lie and they lie and they lie

A million little times

[Bridge]

And you wanna scream

Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"

 Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me

You showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else

Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"

Look at this idiotic fool that you made me

You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else

[Outro]

And you know damn well

For you, I would ruin myself

A million little times

 "My Tears Ricochet"
[Verse 1]

We gather here, we line up, weepin' in a sunlit room

And if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes, too

Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe

All the hell you gave me?

'Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you

'Til my dying day

[Chorus]

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace

And you're the hero flying around, saving face

And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?

Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

Look at how my tears ricochet

[Verse 2]

We gather stones, never knowing what they'll mean

 Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring

You know I didn't want to have to haunt you

But what a ghostly scene

You wear the same jewels that I gave you

As you bury me

[Chorus]

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace

'Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave

And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?

Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

Look at how my tears ricochet

[Bridge]

And I can go anywhere I want

Anywhere I want, just not home

And you can aim for my heart, go for blood

But you would still miss me in your bones

And I still talk to you (When I'm screaming at the sky)

And when you can't sleep at night (You hear my stolen lullabies)
 [Chorus]

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace

And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves

You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same

Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

You turned into your worst fears

And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain

Crossing out the good years

And you're cursing my name, wishing I stayed

Look at how my tears ricochet

 Act VIII – 1989
"Style"
[Verse 1]

Midnight

You come and pick me up, no headlights

Long drive

Could end in burnin' flames or paradise

Fade into view, oh

It's been a while since I have even heard from you

(Heard from you)

[Pre-Chorus]

I should just tell you to leave 'cause I

Know exactly where it leads, but I

Watch us go 'round and 'round each time

[Chorus]

You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye

 And I got that red lip classic thing that you like

And when we go crashin' down, we come back every time

'Cause we nеver go out of style, we nеver go out of style

You got that long hair, slicked back, white T-shirt

And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt

And when we go crashin' down, we come back every time

'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style

[Verse 2]

So it goes

He can't keep his wild eyes on the road, mm

Takes me home

Lights are off, he's taking off his coat, oh, yeah

I say, "I heard, oh

That you've been out and about with some other girl"

Some other girl

[Pre-Chorus]

He says, "What you heard is true, but I

Can't stop thinkin' 'bout you," and I

 I said, "I've been there too a few times"

[Chorus]

'Cause you got that James Dean daydream look in your eye

And I got that red lip classic thing that you like

And when we go crashin' down, we come back every time

'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style

You got that long hair, slicked back, white T-shirt

And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt (A tight little skirt)

And when we go crashin' down, we come back every time

'Cause we never go out of style (We never go, we never go), we never go
out of style

[Bridge]

Take me home (Ah)

Just take me home (Ah)

Yeah, just take me home (Ah)

Woah, woah, oh (Out of style)

[Chorus]
 Oh, 'cause you got that James Dean daydream look in your eye

And I got that red lip classic thing that you like

And when we go crashin' down (And when we go), we come back every
time

'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style

 "Blank Space"
[Verse 1]

Nice to meet you, where you been?

I could show you incredible things

Magic, madness, heaven, sin

Saw you there and I thought

"Oh, my God, look at that face

You look like my next mistake

Love's a game, wanna play?" Ayy

New money, suit and tie

I can read you like a magazine

Ain't it funny? Rumors fly

And I know you heard about me

So, hey, let's be friends

I'm dyin' to see how this one ends

Grab your passport and my hand

I can make the bad guys good for a weekend

 [Chorus]

So it's gonna be forever

Or it's gonna go down in flames?

You can tell me when it's over, mm

If the high was worth thе pain

Got a long list of ex-lovers

They'll tеll you I'm insane

'Cause you know I love the players

And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless

We'll take this way too far

It'll leave you breathless, mm

Or with a nasty scar

Got a long list of ex-lovers

They'll tell you I'm insane

But I've got a blank space, baby

And I'll write your name

[Verse 2]

Cherry lips, crystal skies

 I could show you incredible things

Stolen kisses, pretty lies

You're the king, baby, I'm your queen

Find out what you want

Be that girl for a month

Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh, no

Screaming, crying, perfect storms

I can make all the tables turn

Rose garden filled with thorns

Keep you second guessin', like

"Oh, my God, who is she?"

I get drunk on jealousy

But you'll come back each time you leave

'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream

[Chorus]

So it's gonna be forever

Or it's gonna go down in flames?

You can tell me when it's over, mm

 If the high was worth the pain

Got a long list of ex-lovers

They'll tell you I'm insane

'Cause you know I love the players

And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless (Oh)

We'll take this way too far

It'll leave you breathless (Oh-oh), mm

Or with a nasty scar

Got a long list of ex-lovers

They'll tell you I'm insane (Insane)

But I've got a blank space, baby

And I'll write your name

[Bridge]

Boys only want love if it's torture

Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn ya

Boys only want love if it's torture

Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn ya

 [Chorus]

So it's gonna be forever

Or it's gonna go down in flames?

You can tell me when it's over (Over), mm

If the high was worth the pain

Got a long list of ex-lovers

They'll tell you I'm insane (I'm insane)

'Cause you know I love the players

And you love the game (Love the game)

'Cause we're young and we're reckless (Yeah)

We'll take this way too far (Ooh)

Hey, hey, hey

Just think, while you've been gettin' down and out about the liars

And the dirty, dirty cheats of the world

You could've been gettin' down to this sick beat

My ex-man brought his new girlfriend

And to the fella over there with the hella good hair

'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood, hey

Now we got problems

And I don't think we can solve them

You made a really deep cut

And, baby, now we got bad blood, hey

[Verse 1]

Did you have to do this?

I was thinking that you could be trusted

Did you have to ruin

What was shiny? Now it's all rusted

Did you have to hit me

Where I'm weak? Baby, I couldn't breathe

 And rub it in so deep

Salt in the wound like you're laughin' right at me

 Act IX – Acoustic set
"Our Song" (Guitar surprise song)
[Verse 1]

I was ridin' shotgun with my hair undone

In the front seat of his car

He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel

The other on my heart

I look around, turn the radio down

He says, "Baby, is something wrong?"

I say, "Nothin', I was just thinkin'

How we don't have a song"

And he says

[Chorus]

Our song is the slamming screen door

Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window

When we're on the phone and you talk real slow

'Cause it's late and your mama don't know

 Our song is the way you laugh

The first date: "Man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"

And when I got home, 'fore I said amen

Askin' God if he could play it again

[Verse 2]

I was walking up the front porch steps

After everything that day

Had gone all wrong or been trampled on

And lost and thrown away

Got to the hallway, well on my way

To my lovin' bed

I almost didn't notice all the roses

And the note that said

[Chorus]

Our song is the slamming screen door

Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window

When we're on the phone and you talk real slow

'Cause it's late and your mama don't know

 Our song is the way you laugh

The first date: "Man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"

And when I got home, 'fore I said amen

Askin' God if he could play it again

[Post-Chorus]

Da-da-da-da

[Bridge]

I've heard every album, listened to the radio

Waited for somethin' to come along

That was as good as our song

[Chorus]

'Cause our song is the slamming screen door

Sneakin' out late, tappin' on his window

When we're on the phone and he talks real slow

'Cause it's late and his mama don't know

Our song is the way he laughs

The first date: "Man, I didn't kiss him, and I should have"

And when I got home, 'fore I said amen

Askin' God if he could play it again

[Post-Chorus]

Play it again, oh, yeah

Oh, oh, yeah

[Outro]

I was ridin' shotgun with my hair undone

In the front seat of his car

I grabbed a pen and an old napkin

And I wrote down our song

"You're on Your Own, Kid" (Piano surprise song)
[Verse 1]

Summer went away, still, the yearning stays

I play it cool with the best of them

I wait patiently, he's gonna notice me

It's okay, we're the best of friends

Anyway

I hear it in your voice, you're smoking with your boys

I touch my phone as if it's your face

I didn't choose this town, I dream of getting out

There's just one who could make me stay

All my days

[Pre-Chorus]

From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes

I waited ages to see you there

I search the party of better bodies

Just to learn that you never cared

 [Chorus]

You're on your own, kid

You always have been

[Verse 2]

I see the great escape, so long, Daisy May

I picked the petals, he loves me not

Something different bloomed, writing in my room

I play my songs in the parking lot

I'll run away

[Pre-Chorus]

From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes

I called a taxi to take me there

I search the party of better bodies

Just to learn that my dreams aren't rare

[Chorus]

You're on your own, kid

 You always have been

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes

I gave my blood, sweat, and tears for this

I hosted parties and starved my body

Like I'd be saved by a perfect kiss

The jokes weren't funny, I took the money

My friends from home don't know what to say

I looked around in a blood-soaked gown

And I saw something they can't take away

'Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned

Everything you lose is a step you take

So, make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it

You've got no reason to be afraid

[Chorus]

You're on your own, kid

Yeah, you can face this

You're on your own, kid

You always have been

[Verse 1]

I have this thing where I get older, but just never wiser

Midnights become my afternoons

When my depression works the graveyard shift, all of the people

I've ghosted stand there in the room

[Pre-Chorus]

I should not be left to my own devices

They come with prices and vices

I end up in crisis

(Tale as old as time)

I wake up screaming from dreaming

One day, I'll watch as you're leaving

'Cause you got tired of my scheming

(For the last time)

[Chorus]
 It's me, hi

I'm the problem, it's me

At teatime, everybody agrees

I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror

It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

[Verse 2]

Sometimes, I feel like everybody is a sexy baby

And I'm a monster on the hill

Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city

Pierced through the heart, but never killed

[Pre-Chorus]

Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism

Like some kind of congressman?

(A tale as old as time)

I wake up screaming from dreaming

One day, I'll watch as you're leaving

And life will lose all its meaning

(For the last time)

 [Chorus]

It's me, hi

I'm the problem, it's me (I'm the problem, it's me)

At teatime, everybody agrees

I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror

It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

[Bridge]

I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money

She thinks I left them in the will

The family gathers 'round and reads it and then someone screams out

"She's laughing up at us from Hell"

[Breakdown]

It's me, hi

I'm the problem, it's me

It's me, hi

I'm the problem, it's me

 It's me, hi

Everybody agrees, everybody agrees

[Chorus]

It's me, hi (Hi)

I'm the problem, it's me (I'm the problem, it's me)

At teatime (Teatime), everybody agrees (Everybody agrees)

I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror

It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

 "Midnight Rain"
[Intro]

Rain

He wanted it comfortable, I wanted that pain

He wanted a bride, I was making my own name

Chasing that fame, he stayed the same

All of me changed like midnight

[Verse 1]

My town was a wasteland

Full of cages, full of fences

Pageant queens and big pretenders

But for some, it was paradise

My boy was a montage

A slow-motion, love potion

Jumping off things in the ocean

I broke his heart 'cause he was nice

He was sunshine, I was midnight rain

 [Chorus]

He wanted it comfortable, I wanted that pain

He wanted a bride, I was making my own name

Chasing that fame, he stayed the same

All of me changed like midnight

[Verse 2]

It came like a postcard

Picture perfect shiny family

Holiday peppermint candy

But for him, it's every day

So I peered through a window

A deep portal, time travel

All the love we unravel

And the life I gave away

'Cause he was sunshine, I was midnight rain

[Chorus]

He wanted it comfortable, I wanted that pain

He wanted a bride, I was making my own name

Chasing that fame, he stayed the same

All of me changed like midnight rain

He wanted it comfortable, I wanted that pain

He wanted a bride, I was making my own name

Chasing that fame, he stayed the same

All of me changed like midnight

[Outro]

I guess sometimes we all get

Just what we wanted, just what we wanted

And he never thinks of me

Except for when I'm on TV

I guess sometimes we all get

Some kind of haunted, some kind of haunted

And I never think of him

Except on midnights like this

(Midnights like this, midnights like this)

 "Vigilante Shit"
[Verse 1]

Draw the cat eye sharp enough to kill a man

You did some bad things, but I'm the worst of them

Sometimes I wonder which one'll be your last lie

They say looks can kill and I might try

I don't dress for women

I don't dress for men

Lately, I've been dressin' for revenge

[Chorus]

I don't start shit, but I can tell you how it ends

Don't get sad, get even

So on the weekends

I don't dress for friends

Lately, I've been dressin' for revenge

[Verse 2]
 She needed cold, hard proof, so I gave her some

She had the envelope, where you think she got it from?

Now she gets the house, gets the kids, gets the pride

Picture me thick as thieves with your ex-wife

And she looks so pretty

Drivin' in your Benz

Lately, she's been dressin' for revenge

[Chorus]

She don't start shit, but she can tell you how it ends

Don't get sad, get even

So on the weekends

She don't dress for friends

Lately, she's been dressing for revenge

[Bridge]

Ladies always rise above

Ladies know what people want

Someone sweet and kind and fun

The lady simply had enough

 [Verse 3]

While he was doin' lines and crossin' all of mine

Someone told his white-collar crimes to the FBI

And I don't dress for villains

Or for innocents

I'm on my vigilante shit again

[Chorus]

I don't start shit, but I can tell you how it ends

Don't get sad, get even

So on the weekends

I don't dress for friends

Lately, I've been dressin' for revenge

 "Bejeweled"
[Verse 1]

Baby love, I think I've been a little too kind

Didn't notice you walkin' all over my peace of mind

In the shoes I gave you as a present

Puttin' someone first only works when you're in their top five

And by the way, I'm goin' out tonight

[Chorus]

Best believe I'm still bejeweled

When I walk in the room

I can still make the whole place shimmer

And when I meet the band

They ask, "Do you have a man?"

I could still say, "I don't remember"

Familiarity breeds contempt

Don't put mе in the basement

Whеn I want the penthouse of your heart

 Diamonds in my eyes

I polish up real, I polish up real nice

[Post-Chorus]

Nice

[Verse 2]

Baby boy, I think I've been too good of a girl (Too good of a girl)

Did all the extra credit, then got graded on a curve

I think it's time to teach some lessons

I made you my world (Huh), have you heard? (Huh)

I can reclaim the land

And I miss you (Miss you), but I miss sparklin' (Nice)

[Chorus]

Best believe I'm still bejeweled

When I walk in the room

I can still make the whole place shimmer

And when I meet the band

They ask, "Do you have a man?"

 I could still say, "I don't remember"

Familiarity breeds contempt

Don't put me in the basement

When I want the penthouse of your heart

Diamonds in my eyes

I polish up real, I polish up real nice

[Post-Chorus]

Nice

[Bridge]

Sapphire tears on my face

Sadness became my whole sky

But some guy said my aura's moonstone

Just 'cause he was high

And we're dancin' all night

And you can try to change my mind

But you might have to wait in line

What's a girl gonna do?

 A diamond's gotta shine

[Chorus]

Best believe I'm still bejeweled

When I walk in the room

I can still make the whole place shimmer (Shimmer)

And when I meet the band

They ask, "Do you have a man?"

I could still say, "I don't remember"

Familiarity breeds contempt

Don't put me in the basement

When I want the penthouse of your heart

Diamonds in my eyes

I polish up real (Nice), I polish up real nice

[Outro]

And we're dancin' all night

And you can try to change my mind

But you might have to wait in line

What's a girl gonna do? What's a girl gonna do?

 I polish up nice

Best believe I'm still bejeweled

When I walk in the room

I can still make the whole place shimmer

 "Mastermind"
[Verse 1]

Once upon a time, the planets and the fates

And all the stars aligned

You and I ended up in the same room

At the same time

[Pre-Chorus]

And the touch of a hand lit the fuse

Of a chain reaction of countermoves

To assess the equation of you

Checkmate, I couldn't lose

[Chorus]

What if I told you none of it was accidental?

And the first night that you saw me

Nothing was gonna stop me

I laid the groundwork, and then

 Just like clockwork

The dominoes cascaded in a line

What if I told you I'm a mastermind?

And now you're mine

It was all by dеsign

'Cause I'm a mastermind

[Verse 2]

You see, all the wisеst women

Had to do it this way

'Cause we were born to be the pawn

In every lover's game

[Pre-Chorus]

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail

Strategy sets the scene for the tale

I'm the wind in our free-flowing sails

And the liquor in our cocktails

[Chorus]
 What if I told you none of it was accidental?

And the first night that you saw me

I knew I wanted your body

I laid the groundwork, and then

Just like clockwork

The dominoes cascaded in a line

What if I told you I'm a mastermind?

And now you're mine

It was all my design

'Cause I'm a mastermind

[Bridge]

No one wanted to play with me as a little kid

So I've been scheming like a criminal ever since

To make them love me and make it seem effortless

This is the first time I've felt the need to confess

And I swear

I'm only cryptic and Machiavellian

'Cause I care
 [Chorus]

So I told you none of it was accidental

And the first night that you saw me

Nothing was gonna stop me

I laid the groundwork, and then

Saw a wide smirk on your face

You knew the entire time

You knew that I'm a mastermind

And now you're mine

Yeah, all you did was smile

'Cause I'm a mastermind

 "Karma"
[Verse 1]

You're talking shit for the hell of it

Addicted to betrayal, but you're relevant

You're terrified to look down

'Cause if you dare, you'll see the glare

Of everyone you burned just to get there

It's coming back around

[Pre-Chorus]

And I keep my side of the street clean

You wouldn't know what I mean

[Chorus]

'Cause karma is my boyfriend

Karma is a god

Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend

Karma's a relaxing thought

 Aren't you envious that for you it's not?

Sweet like honey, karma is a cat

Purring in my lap 'cause it loves me

Flexing like a goddamn acrobat

Me and karma vibe like that

[Verse 2]

Spiderboy, king of thieves

Weave your little webs of opacity

My pennies made your crown

Trick me once, trick me twice

Don't you know that cash ain't the only price?

It's coming back around

[Pre-Chorus]

And I keep my side of the street clean

You wouldn't know what I mean

[Chorus]

'Cause karma is my boyfriend

 Karma is a god

Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend

Karma's a relaxing thought

Aren't you envious that for you it's not?

Sweet like honey, karma is a cat

Purring in my lap 'cause it loves me

Flexing like a goddamn acrobat

Me and karma vibe like that

[Bridge]

Ask me what I learned from all those years

Ask me what I earned from all those tears

Ask me why so many fade, but I'm still here

(I'm still here, I'm still here)

[Breakdown]

'Cause karma is the thunder

Rattling your ground

Karma's on your scent like a bounty hunter

 Karma's gonna track you down

Step by step, from town to town

Sweet like justice, karma is a queen

Karma takes all my friends to the summit

Karma is the guy on the screen

Coming straight home to me

[Chorus]

'Cause karma is my boyfriend (Karma is my boyfriend)

Karma is a god

Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend (Weekend)

Karma's a relaxing thought

Aren't you envious that for you it's not?

Sweet like honey, karma is a cat

Purring in my lap 'cause it loves me

Flexing like a goddamn acrobat

Me and karma vibe like that

[Outro]

Karma is my boyfriend
 Karma is a god (Ah)

Uh-huh, mm

Karma's a relaxing thought
