a comprehsive list of the best lyrics in each taylor swift song (my opinions <3) since fearless:
jump then fall: but iâll hold you through the night until you smile
untouchable: untouchable like a distant diamond sky
come in with the rain: i know you by heart, and you donât even know where i start
superstar: iâm invisible and everyone knows who you are
other side of the door: and the faded picture of a beautiful night
fearless: you take my hand and drag me head first, fearless
fifteen: when youâre fifteen and your first kiss makes your head spin âround (how did she know!!)
love story: i was a scarlet letter
hey stephen: all the other girls, well, theyâre beautiful, but would they write a song for you?Â
white horse: this is a big world, that was a small town
you belong with me: i know your favorite songs and you tell be âbout your dreams
breathe: but itâs killing me to see you go after all this time
tell me why: why do you have to make me feel small so you can feel whole inside?Â
youâre not sorry: and you got your share of secrets and iâm tired of being last to knowÂ
the way i loved you: and my heartâs not breaking cause iâm not feeling anything at all
forever & always: were you just kidding?Â
the best day: donât know if snow whiteâs house is near or far away
change: itâs hard to fight when the fight ainât fair
mine: braced myself for the goodbye âcause thatâs all iâve ever known
sparks fly:Â my mind forgets to remind me, youâre a bad idea
back to december: it turns out freedom ainât nothing but missing you
speak now: i lose myself in a daydream
dear john: i lived in your chess game but you changed the rules everyday
mean: you have pointed out my flaws again as if i donât already see them
the story of us: you held your pride like you shouldâve held me
never grow up: remember that sheâs getting older too
enchanted: my thoughts will echo your name until i see you again
better than revenge: no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignityÂ
innocent: today is never too late to be brand newÂ
haunted: something keeps me holding onto nothingÂ
last kiss: i never planned on you changing your mind // iâll watch your life in pictures like i used to watch you sleep and iâll feel you forget me like i used to feel you breathe (this song is too much of a masterpiece to choose)
long live: i had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
state of grace: we learned to live with the pain, mosaic broken hearts
red: moving on from him is impossible when i still see it all in my head
treacherous: i canât decide if itâs a choice getting swept away
ikywt: and the saddest fear comes creeping in, that you never loved me
all too well: you call me up again just be break me like a promise, so casually cruel in the name of being honest (naturally)
22: itâs miserable and magical
i almost do: i canât say hello to you and risk another goodbye

the last time: all roads, they lead me here
holy ground: for the first time, i had something to lose

starlight: we could get married, have ten kids, and teach them how to dream
begin again: thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end

blank space: stolen kisses, pretty lies
style: could end in burning flames of paradise
out of the woods: the rest of the world was black and white but we were in screaming color
ayhtdws: iâve been picking up the pieces of the mess you madeÂ
shake it off: and to the fella over there with the hella good hairÂ
i wish you would: i wish you knew that i miss you too much to be mad anymore
bad blood: bandaids donât fix bullet holes
wildest dreams: someday when you leave me i bet these memories follow you around
how you get the girl: i want you for worse or for better
