  • I was supposed to be sent away
    But they forgot to come and get me
    I was a functioning alcoholic
    Till nobody noticed my new aesthetic
    All of this to say I hope you're okay
    But you're the reason
    And no one here's to blame
    But what about your quiet treason?

    And for a fortnight there, we were forever
    Run into you sometimes, ask about the weather
    Now you're in my backyard, turned into good neighbors
    Your wife waters flowers, I wanna kill her

    All my mornings are Mondays stuck in an endless February
    I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary
    And I love you, it's ruining my life
    (I love you, it's ruining my life)
    I touched you for only a fortnight
    (I touched you) but I touched you

    And for a fortnight there, we were forever
    Run into you sometimes, ask about the weather
    Now you're in my backyard, turned into good neighbors
    Your wife waters flowers, I wanna kill her
    And for a fortnight there, we were together
    Run into you sometimes, comment on my sweater
    Now you're at the mailbox, turned into good neighbors
    My husband is cheating, I wanna kill him

    I love you, it's ruining my life
    (I love you, it's ruining my life)
    I touched you for only a fortnight
    (I touched you) I touched you
    I love you, it's ruining my life
    (I love you, it's ruining my life)
    I touched you for only a fortnight
    (I touched you) I touched you

    Thought of callin' ya, but you won't pick up
    'Nother fortnight lost in America
    Move to Florida, buy the car you want
    But it won't start up till you touch, touch, touch me
    Thought of calling ya, but you won't pick up
    'Nother fortnight lost in America
    Move to Florida, buy the car you want
    But it won't start up till I touch, touch, touch you Writer/s: Austin Richard Post, Jack Michael Antonoff, Taylor Swift
