Taylor Swift - The Black Dog Lyrics

The Black Dog Lyrics

I am someone who until recent events

You shared your secrets with

And your location, you forgot to turn it off

And so I watch as you walk

Into some bar called The Black Dog

It piers new holes in my heart

You forgot to turn it off

And it hits me

I just don't understand

How you don't miss me

In The Black Dog, when someone plays the starting line

And you jump up, but she's too young to know this song

That was intertwined in the magic fabric of our dreaming

Old habits die screaming

I move through the world with a heart broken

My longing state unspoken

And I may never open up the way I did for you

And all of thosе best late plans

You said I needed a bravе man

Then proceeded to play him

Until I believed it too

And it kills me

I just don't understand

How you don't miss me

In the shower, and remember how my rain-soaked body

Was shaking, do you hate me?

Was it hazy, for a cruel fraternity?

I pledged, and I still mean it

Old habits die screaming

Six weeks of breathing clean air

I still miss the smoke

Were you making fun of me?

With some esoteric joke?

Now I wanna sell my house

And set fire to all my clothes

And hire a priest to come and exercise my demons

Even if I die screaming-ing

And I hope you hear it-it-it

And I hope it's shitty in The Black Dog

When someone plays the starting line and you jump up

But she's too young to know this song

That was intertwined in the tragic fabric of my dreaming

This tail between your legs, you're leaving

I still can't believe it

'Cause old habits die screaming
