my tears ricochet

• taylor swift’in 8. albümü folklore’dan bir şarkı;
  
  we gather here, we line up, weepin' in a sunlit room
  and if i'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes, too
  even on my worst day, did i deserve, babe
  all the hell you gave me?
  'cause i loved you, i swear i loved you
  'til my dying day
  
  i 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?
  cursing my name, wishing i stayed
  look at how my tears ricochet
  
  we gather stones, never knowing what they'll mean
  some to throw, some to make a diamond ring
  you know i didn't want to have to haunt you
  but what a ghostly scene
  you wear the same jewels that i gave you
  as you bury me
  
  i didn't have it in myself to go with grace
  'cause when i'd fight, you used to tell me i was brave
  and if i'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?
  cursing my name, wishing i stayed
  look at how my tears ricochet
  
  and i can go anywhere i want
  anywhere i want, just not home
  and you can aim for my heart, go for blood
  but you would still miss me in your bones
  and i still talk to you (when i'm screaming at the sky)
  and when you can't sleep at night (you hear my stolen lullabies)
  
  i didn't have it in myself to go with grace
  and so the battleships will sink beneath the waves
  you had to kill me, but it killed you just the same
  cursing my name, wishing i stayed
  you turned into your worst fears
  and you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain
  crossing out the good years
  and you're cursing my name, wishing i stayed
  look at how my tears ricochet
• taylor swift’in eski prodüktörüne yazdığı, adamın hak etmediği derecede güzel bir şarkı. folklore albümünde swift’in tek başına yazdığı tek şarkı. sözler adeta şiir, evet. öfkeyi muhteşem anlatmış taylor.
• "you hear my stolen lullabies" (çalınmış şarkılarını kast ediyor tabii açık bir şekilde) kısmında ağlamayan var mı ya? bu kadın kadar hayattan şarkı yazan bir insan yok daha da dünyada. hala eski erkek arkadaşlarına şarkı yapıyor diyen var bir de. hiç hak etmediği halde. eski patronuna bile şarkı yazıyor kadın. ek olarak bu şarkı, folklore albümünün olma sebebi. eğer bu şarkı olmasaydı belki folklore ile de hiç tanışamayacaktık çünkü bu şarkıyı yaptıktan sonra albüm yapmaya karar yapmış taylor.
