taylor swift - death by thousand cuts / the great war lyrics

[part i: death by a thousand cuts]

[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]
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 grеat love, one for the agеs
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
it’s death by a thousand cuts
[part ii: the great war]

[verse 1]
my knuckles were bruised like violets
sucker punching walls, cursed you as i sleep+talked
spineless in my tomb of silence
tore your banners down, took the battle underground
and maybe it was egos swinging
maybe it was her
flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur

[chorus]
all that bloodshed, crimson clover
uh+huh, the bombs were closer
my hand was the one you reached for
all throughout the great war
always remember
uh+huh, the burning embers
i vowed not to fight anymore
if we survived the great war

[post+chorus]
uh+huh, uh+huh
if we survived the great war
uh+huh, uh+huh, uh+huh
[bridge]
it turned into something bigger
somewhere in the haze, got a sense i’d been betrayed
your finger on my hairpin triggers
soldier down on that icy ground
looked up at me with honor and truth
broken and blue, so i called off the troops
that was the night i nearly lost you
i really thought i’d lost you

[part iii: death by a thousand cuts]

[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]
tryna find a part of me that you didn’t touch
my body, my love, my trust, my trust

[part iv: the great war / death by a thousand cuts]

[chorus: the great war]
all that bloodshed, crimson clover
uh+huh, sweet dream was over
my hand was the one you reached for
all throughout the great war
always remember
uh+huh, tears on the letter
i vowed not to cry anymore
if we survived the great war

[outro: death by a thousand cuts / the great war]
oh it was death by a thousand cuts
if we survived the great war

[outro: death by a thousand cuts]
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”
