  • He says he doesn't believe anything much he hears these days
    He says, "Why fall in love, just so you can watch it go away?"
    He spends most of his nights wishing it was how it used to be
    He spends most of his flights getting pulled down by gravity

    I call just checkin' up on him
    He's up, 3 AM pacin'
    He says, "It's not just a phase I'm in"
    My voice comes out beggin'

    All this time I didn't know
    You were breakin' down
    I'd fall to pieces on the floor
    If you weren't around
    Too young to know it gets better
    I'll be summer sun for you forever
    Forever winter if you go

    He seems fine most of the time, forcing smiles and neverminds
    His laugh is a symphony, when the lights go out, it's hard to breathe
    I pull at every thread, tryna solve the puzzles in his head
    Live my life scared to death he'll decide to leave instead

    I call just checkin' up on him
    He's up, 5 AM wasted
    Long gone, not even listening
    My voice comes out screamin'

    All this time I didn't know
    You were breakin' down
    I'd fall to pieces on the floor
    If you weren't around
    Too young to know it gets better
    I'll be summer sun for you forever
    Forever winter if you go

    If I was standin' there in your apartment
    I'd take that bomb in your head and disarm it
    I'd say I love you even at your darkest
    And please don't go

    I didn't know
    You were breakin' down
    I'd fall to pieces on the floor
    If you weren't around
    Too young to know it gets better
    I'll be summer sun for you forever
    Forever winter if you go

    I'll be your summer sun forever
    At 3 AM pacin'
    All this time I didn't know
    At 5 AM wasted
    I'd be in pieces on the floor
    Forever winter if you go

    He says he doesn't believe anything much he hears these days
    I say, "Believe in one thing, I won't go away" Writer/s: Mark Derek Foster, Taylor Alison Swift
