An appropriate final track to an album filled with melancholy and darkness, "hoax" narrates the struggles Taylor endures in a toxic relationship. Although she has been driven to the edge of hopelessness by her lover, Taylor is unable to let go of her doomed relationship.
According to an interview with co-writer Aaron Dessner, "hoax" and "the 1" were the final songs written after the rest of the album was completed, and the two agreed that they should be added to the record as "bookends." Musically, the song shares some familiarities to "cardigan," the second track of folklore.
Lyrics-
My only one
My smoking gun
My eclipsed sun
This has broken me down
My twisted knife
My sleepless night
My winless fight
This has frozen my groundStood on the cliffside screaming, "Give me a reason"
Your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in
Don't want no other shade of blue but you
No other sadness in the world would doMy best laid plan
Your sleight of hand
My barren land
I am ash from your fireStood on the cliffside screaming, "Give me a reason"
Your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in
Don't want no other shade of blue but you
No other sadness in the world would doYou know I left part of me back in New York
You knew the hero died so what's the movie for?
You knew it still hurts underneath my scars
From when they pulled me apart
You knew the password so I left you in the door
You knew you won so what's the point of keeping score?
You knew it still hurts beneath my scars
From when they pulled me apart
But what you did was just as dark
(Ah, ah, ah)
Darling, this was just as hard
As when they pulled me apartMy only one
My kingdom come undone
My broken drum
You have beaten my heart
Don't want no other shade of blue but you
No other sadness in the world would do
