“Teardrops On My Guitar” illustrates the unrequited love Taylor felt for classmate Drew Hardwick. Taylor told fans that Drew would often ask her for advice and date ideas for his girlfriend, and she would give him ideas to be a good friend. Surprisingly, in 2015, Drew was arrested for child abuse – maybe it’s a good thing they were never really together!
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Drew looks at me I fake a smile so he won't see That I want and I'm needing Everything that we should be
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about And she's got everything that I have to live without
[Verse 2]
Drew talks to me I laugh 'cause it's so damn funny That I can't even see Anyone when he's with me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night
[Chorus]
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do...
[Verse 3]
Drew walks by me Can't he tell that I can't breathe? And there he goes, so perfectly The kind of flawless I wish I could be
[Pre-Chorus 3]
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky 'cause
[Chorus]
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do...
[Bridge]
So I drive home alone, as I turn off the light I'll put his picture down and maybe get some sleep tonight
[Chorus]
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar The only one who’s got enough of me to break my heart He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do...
[Outro]
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough And he's all that I need to fall into Drew looks at me I fake a smile so he won't see
