Taylor Swift turns 33 today (December 12), and in honor of the hit songstress’ big day, we compiled our favorite lyrics by the queen of breakup songs.
20. Death By A Thousand Cuts
Share"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."
19. the 1
Share"I guess you never know, never know / And if you wanted me, you really should've showed / And if you never bleed, you're never gonna grow."
18. Closure
Share"Don't treat me like / Some situation that needs to be handled / I'm fine with my spite / And my tears, and my beers and my candles."
17. Blank Space
Share"So it's gonna be forever / Or it's gonna go down in flames / You can tell me when it's over / If the high was worth the pain."
16. All You Had To Do Was Stay
Share"The more I think about it now the less I know / All I know is that you drove us off the road."
15. I Knew You Were Trouble
Share"No apologies, he'll never see you cry / Pretends he doesn't know that he's the reason why / You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning."
14. I Wish You Would
Share"I wish you would come back / Wish I'd never hung up the phone like I did / I wish you knew that / I'd never forget you as long as I'd live."
13. All Too Well
Share"And you call me up again just to break me like a promise / So casually cruel in the name of being honest."
12. Red
Share"Losing him was blue, like I'd never known / Missing him was dark gray, all alone / Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met / But loving him was red."
11. this is me trying
Share"And it's hard to be at a party / When I feel like an open wound / It's hard to be anywhere these days / When all I want is you."
10. The Story Of Us
Share"I used to know my place was a spot next to you / Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat / 'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on."
9. Holy Ground
Share"And I guess we fell apart in the usual way / And the story's got dust on every page / But sometimes I wonder how you think about it now / And I see your face in every crowd."
8. august
Share"And I can see us twisted in bedsheets / August sipped away like a bottle of wine / 'Cause you were never mine."
7. Forever & Always
Share"And I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called / And then you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all / And you flashback to when he said, 'Forever and always.'"
6. my tears ricochet
Share"Didn't have it in myself to go with grace / And you're the hero flying around, saving face / And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?"
5. Picture To Burn
Share"So watch me strike a match on all my wasted time / As far as I'm concerned, you're just another picture to burn."
4. exile
Share"I think I've seen this film before / And I didn't like the ending / You're not my homeland anymore / So what am I defendin' now?"
3. I Forgot That You Existed
Share"Your name on my lips, tongue tied / Free rent, livin' in my mind / But then something happened one magical night / I forgot that you existed."
2. You’re Not Sorry
Share"You got your share of secrets, and I'm tired of being last to know."
1. White Horse
Share"I was a dreamer before you went and let me down."
