Taylor Swift - Right where you left me / All You Had To Do Was Stay

★ part i: right where you left me ★

★ verse ★
Friends break up, friends get married
Strangers get born, strangers get buried
Trends change, rumors fly through new skies
But i'm right where you left me
Matches burn after the other
Pages turn and stick to each other
Wages earned and lessons learned
But i, i'm right where you left me

★ pre-chorus ★
Help, i'm still at the restaurant
Still sitting in a corner i haunt
Cross-legged in the dim light
Thеy say, "what a sad sight," i
I swear you could hear a hair pin drop
Right when i fеlt the moment stop
Glass shattered on the white cloth
Everybody moved on, i, i stayed there
Dust collected on my pinned-up hair
They expected me to find somewhere
Some perspective, but i sat and stared right where

★ chorus ★
You left me, you left me no, oh, you left me no
You left me no choice but to stay here forever

★ verse 1 ★
People like you always want back
The love they gave away
And people like me wanna believe you
When you say you've changed
The more i think about it now
The less i know
All i know is that you drove us
Off the road

★ chorus ★
(stay) hey, all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand, then
Why'd you have to go and lock me out when i let you in?
(stay) hey, now you say you want it back
Now that it's just too late, well, could've been easy
All you had to do was (stay)

★ post-chorus ★
All you had to do was (stay)
All you had to do was (stay)
All you had to do was (stay)

★ bridge ★
Let me remind you
This was what you wanted
Cause you ended it
You were all i wanted
But not like this
★ part iii: right where you left me ★

★ bridge ★
Did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen?
Time went on for everybody else, she won't know it
She's still twenty-three inside her fantasy
How it was supposed to be
Did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion?
Breakups happen every day, you don't have to lose it
She's still twenty-three inside her fantasy
And you're sitting in front of me

★ pre-chorus ★
At the restaurant
When i was still the one you want
Cross-legged in the dim light
Everything was just right, i
I could feel the mascara run
You told me that you met someone
Glass shattered on the white cloth
Everybody moved on
Help, i'm still at the restaurant
Still sitting in a corner i haunt
Cross-legged in the dim light
They say, "what a sad sight," i, i stayed there
Dust collected on my pinned-up hair
I'm sure that you got a wife out there
Kids and christmas, but i'm unaware 'cause i'm right where
I cause no harm, mind my business
If our love died young, i can't bear witness, and it's been so long
If you ever think you got it wrong, i'm right where
★ chorus ★
You left me, you left me no, yeah, you left me no
You left me no choice but to stay here forever

★ part iv: all you had to do was stay ★

★ post-chorus ★
All you had to do was (stay)
All you had to do was (stay)
All you had to do was (stay)
All you had to do was stay

Taylor Alison Swift, born on December 13th, 1989, is an American singer-songwriter and actress who has become one of the defining artists of the 2010s and 2020s. Raised on a Christmas tree farm in Reading, Pennsylvania, Swift moved to Nashville, Tennessee at the age of fourteen to pursue a career in country music. Her talent and dedication caught the attention of Scott Borchetta, who signed her to his then-nonexistent label Big Machine Records after seeing her perform at the Bluebird Cafe in November 2004.

Swift made her debut in June 2006 with the release of “Tim McGraw,” a heartfelt ode to a lover who would be leaving town. This song was the first track from her self-titled debut album, which explored themes of heartbreak and bullying that Swift had experienced in her own life. The album became a massive success, spending 227 weeks on the Billboard 200 and establishing Swift as a rising star in the country music scene.

Following the success of her debut, Swift continued to soar to new heights with her sophomore album, Fearless, released in November 2008. Tracks like “Love Story” and “You Belong With Me” not only solidified her status as a country superstar but also crossed over into the mainstream music scene. Fearless became the most-awarded country album of all time, winning accolades such as the Grammy Award for Album of the Year.

Despite her early success, Swift faced doubts about her songwriting abilities, prompting her to write her third album, Speak Now, entirely on her own. The album was a commercial success, becoming the fastest-selling digital album by a female artist in the U.S. at the time. Swift continued to push boundaries and evolve her sound with each new release, culminating in her transition to pop music with the release of her fifth studio album, 1989, in October 2014.

Throughout her career, Swift has faced challenges and controversies, including a highly-publicized feud with rapper Kanye West and a legal battle with a DJ who groped her. However, she has always remained resilient and true to herself, using her platform to speak out on important issues and advocate for artistic ownership.

In recent years, Swift has continued to push boundaries and explore new musical territories with albums like reputation, Lover, folklore, and evermore. She has received numerous accolades and awards for her work, including multiple Grammy Awards and recognition as the Artist of the Decade by the American Music Awards.

Swift's dedication to her craft and her unwavering commitment to authenticity have solidified her status as one of the most influential and successful musicians of her generation. As she continues to re-record her earlier albums to regain legal ownership, Swift shows no signs of slowing down and remains a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
