taylor swift - death by a thousand cuts / babe lyrics

[part i]

[chorus]
saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
flashbacks waking me up
i get drunk, but it’s not enough
’cause the morning comes and you’re not my baby
i look through the windows of this love
even though we boarded them up
chandelier’s still fl!ckering here
’cause i can’t pretend it’s okay when it’s not
it’s death by a thousand cuts

[verse 1]
i dress to k!ll my time, i take the long way home
i ask the traffic lights if it’ll be alright
they say, “i don’t know”
and what once was ours is no one’s now
i see you everywhere, the only thing we share
is this small town
you said it was a great love, one for the ages
but if the story’s over, why am i still writing pages?

[chorus]
’cause saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
flashbacks waking me up
i get drunk, but it’s not enough
’cause the morning comes and you’re not my baby
i look through the windows of this love
even though we boarded them up
chandelier’s still fl!ckering here
’cause i can’t pretend it’s okay when it’s not
no, it’s not
it’s death by a thousand cuts
[part ii]

[verse 2]
what a shame
didn’t wanna be the one that got away, yeah
big mistake, you broke the sweetest promise
that you never should have made

[pre+chorus]
i’m here on the kitchen floor
you call, but i won’t hear it
you said, “no one else”
how could you do this, babe?

[chorus]
you really blew this, babe
we ain’t getting through this one, babe
this is the last time i’ll ever call you, babe

[bridge]
my heart, my hips, my body, my love
tryna find a part of me that you didn’t touch
gave up on me like i was a bad drug
now i’m searching for signs in a haunted club
our songs, our films, united we stand
our country, guess it was a lawless land
quiet my fears with the touch of your hand
paper cut stings from our paper+thin plans
my time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
tryna find a part of me you didn’t take up
gave you too much, but it wasn’t enough
but i’ll be alright, it’s just a thousand cuts
[chorus]
i get drunk, but it’s not enough
’cause you’re not my baby
i look through the windows of this love
even though we boarded them up
chandelier’s still fl!ckering here
’cause i can’t pretend it’s okay when it’s not
no, it’s not
it’s death by a thousand cuts

[post+chorus]
how could you do this, baby?
tryna find a part of me that you didn’t touch
my body, my love, my trust
how could you do this? how could you do this?

[outro]
i take the long way home
i ask the traffic lights if it’ll be alright
they say, “i don’t know”
