You are Taylor Swift's album
An album full of bittersweet songs
I like you this way
However, we differ in many ways
I managed to get out of my misery
You prefer to stay

You are my favorite depressing phrase,
A quotation that never served any purpose in my life
I like you only because
I relate to you

I've heard him speak your name countless times
Even on my birthdays, it's no surprise
He says you're good
No doubt about that, I think so too

For the first time in his life, I'm proud he chose himself over you
He protected his peace before
Yet true peace will never be attainable
If you can't let him go

Wherever you are right now
I've been there
I have loved too much
I trusted too much
I gave too much of me
Until none was left

You reflect who I was before
I wish healing comes to you
So the dusk of your heart
Will see the sunrise again

A time will come and you'll see why
The universe broke you down
To construct a new you
Stronger, capable, independent
And whole

So, get out of your "sanctuary"
Seek for things you failed to see
Find yourself
I'll see and hear your name again
when I do, you'll be your best self
I'd smile, because I know you are me in a different galaxy
I believe you could, and you did
