  • Long handwritten note
    Deep in your pocket
    Words, how little they mean
    When you're a little too late
    I stood right by the tracks
    Your face in a locket
    Good girls, hopeful they'll be and long they will wait

    We had a beautiful magic love there
    What a sad beautiful tragic love affair

    In dreams
    I meet you in warm conversation
    We both wake
    In lonely beds
    In different cities
    And time
    Is taking its sweet time erasing you
    And you've got your demons
    And darlin' they all look like me

    'Cause we had a beautiful magic love there
    What a sad beautiful tragic love affair

    (Oh-uh)
    (Oh-uh)

    Distance, timing
    Breakdown, fighting
    Silence, the train runs off its tracks
    Kiss me, try to fix it
    Could you just try to listen?
    Hang up, give up
    For the life of us we can't get back

    A beautiful magic love there
    What a sad
    Beautiful tragic
    Beautiful tragic
    Beautiful

    What we had a beautiful magic love there (uh-uh)
    What a sad beautiful tragic love affair
    We had a beautiful magic love there
    What a sad beautiful tragic love affair Writer/s: Taylor Alison Swift
