  • My only one
    My smoking gun
    My eclipsed sun
    This has broken me down
    My twisted knife
    My sleepless night
    My win-less fight
    This has frozen my ground

    Stood on the cliffside
    Screaming, "Give me a reason"
    Your faithless love's the only hoax
    I believe in
    Don't want no other shade of blue
    But you
    No other sadness in the world would do

    My best laid plan
    Your sleight of hand
    My barren land
    I am ash from your fire

    Stood on the cliffside
    Screaming "Give me a reason"
    Your faithless love's the only hoax
    I believe in
    Don't want no other shade of blue
    But you
    No other sadness in the world would do

    You know I left a part of me back in New York
    You knew the hero died, so what's the movie for?
    You knew it still hurts underneath my scars
    From when they pulled me apart
    You knew the password, so I let you in the door
    You knew you won, so what's the point of keeping score?
    You knew it still hurts underneath my scars
    From when they pulled me apart
    But what you did was just as dark
    Darling, this was just as hard
    As when they pulled me apart

    My only one
    My kingdom come undone
    My broken drum
    You have beaten my heart

    Don't want no other shade of blue
    But you
    No other sadness in the world would do Writer/s: Aaron Brooking Dessner, Taylor A. Swift
