Taylor Swift Exile

[Verse 1: Justin Vernon]

I can see you standing, honey

With his arms around your body

Laughin’, but the joke’s not funny at all

And it took you five whole minutes

To pack us up and leave me with it

Holdin’ all this love out here in the hall



[Chorus: Justin Vernon]

I think I’ve seen this film before

And I didn’t like the ending

You’re not my homeland anymore

So what am I defending now?

You were my town, now I’m in exile, seein’ you out

I think I’ve seen this film before



[Post-Chorus: Justin Vernon]

Ooh, ooh, ooh



[Verse 2: Taylor Swift]

I can see you starin’, honey

Like he’s just your understudy

Like you’d get your knuckles bloody for me

Second, third, and hundredth chances

Balancin’ on breaking branches

Those eyes add insult to injury



[Chorus: Taylor Swift]

I think I’ve seen this film before

And I didn’t like the ending

I’m not your problem anymore

So who am I offending now?

You were my crown, now I’m in exile, seein’ you out

I think I’ve seen this film before

So I’m leaving out the side door



[Bridge: Justin Vernon, Taylor Swift & Both]

So step right out, there is no amount

Of crying I can do for you

All this time

We always walked a very thin line

You didn’t even hear me out (You didn’t even hear me out)

You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)

All this time

I never learned to read your mind (Never learned to read my mind)

I couldn’t turn things around (You never turned things around)

‘Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)

So many signs, so many signs

You didn’t even see the signs



[Chorus: Taylor Swift & Justin Vernon, Taylor Swift]

I think I’ve seen this film before

And I didn’t like the ending

You’re not my homeland anymore

So what am I defending now?

You were my town, now I’m in exile, seein’ you out

I think I’ve seen this film before

So I’m leavin’ out the side door



[Outro: Justin Vernon & Taylor Swift]

So step right out, there is no amount

Of crying I can do for you

All this time

We always walked a very thin line

You didn’t even hear me out (Didn’t even hear me out)

You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)

All this time

I never learned to read your mind (Never learned to read my mind)

I couldn’t turn things around (You never turned things around)

‘Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)

You never gave a warning sign (All this time)

(So many signs) I never learned to read your mind

(So many signs) I couldn’t turn things around (I couldn’t turn things around)

‘Cause you never gave a warning sign (You never gave a warning sign)

You never gave a warning sign

Ah, ah
