Taylor Video (MV)

Why do I ride the waves of your former lovers?
The ones who went away and left you out at sea
The voices of the past, they tend to hover
And I beg those thoughts to let us be
'Cause here I am after all the pain that I've been through
As I hold myself up, I reach my free hand out for you
Why doesn't fortune ever favor the good?
The kind and pure of heart always suffer more than they should
And you are not among them
Anymore
You bite and you lash out when I try to help
You turn it on me and you call me so selfish
But through all my hurt I can see clear as day
The hands dealt by fate that have pushed you from grace
They're turning you into the thing that you hate
Are you too blind for change? Is it now far too late
To alter this fate that you're giving into?
I wish you would learn, not for me, but for you
Are you sure you're okay with your life?
'Cause as bad as it gets, I don't think you try
Something I've heard
Is when you've fallen down
I can pick you up again
But only if you work with me
It's something I know
It's something you won't do
And I can't do for you
What you won't do for me
Taylor, why aren't you fighting?
You say that you can't when you won't try to break the mold
I'll be fine, it's you I'm concerned for
You're waging the wrong war
The only thing I've seen you fighting is yourself
I'd have picked you up again
No matter where and when
But it became too much for me
I'm sorry
That I can't live for two
In the past I tried with all my might
But it never ends well, it never ends
Oh, Taylor
Your life lies ahead
There's no final outcome
No lonely winding path
'Cause it's what you make of it
It's what you think you can do
So best of luck from a stranger
Who believes in you
