Don't look at me, you've got a girl at home and everybody knows that.

I'm like the water when your ship rolled in that night, rough on the surface but you cut through like a knife. And I can picture it after all these days. [I] never called it what it was 'til we were dead and gone and buried. We kept everything professional, but something's changed. I can see the end before it begins. You look like my next mistake. “How'd we end up on the floor?”, you say “Your roommate's cheap ass rosé, that's how”. I see you every day now. I think I've seen this film before, and I didn't like the ending. Your sweet disposition and my wide eyed gaze, we're singing in the car getting lost upstate. Like you were my closest friend. You gave me roses, and I left them there to die. I don't even know her, but I feel a responsibility to do what's upstanding and right. So I'm leaving out the side door. That was when I got to know 'Mr Change of Heart'. I just wanna make sure you understand perfectly, you're the kind of man who makes me sad. Were you a sleeper cell spy? In 50 years will all this be declassified? And you'll confess why you did it, and I'll say “good riddance”. Because now that I'm sitting here thinking it through, I've never been anywhere cold as you. While she waits up, you chase down the newest thing and take for granted what you had. I was never good at telling jokes, but the punchline goes I'll get older but your lovers stay my age from when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones, I'm a solider who's returning half her weight. And I lost you, the one I was dancing with in New York. Told me I'm better off, but I'm not. I think I've seen this film before. So I'll walk out of here tonight, try to go on with my life and you can say we're still friends. [She sits] in class next to a redhead named Abigail and soon enough [they're] best friends. I'd give all I have honey, if [they] could stay like that. Took our broken hearts and put them in a drawer. The secret we all vowed to keep it from [them] in sweetness. 'Cause you weren't mine to lose. Now you're in my backyard, turned into good neighbours. All this showmanship to keep it for [them] in sweetness. And I make the same mistakes every time, bridges burn, I never learn, at least I did one thing right. Cold was the steel of my axe to grind for the boys who broke my heart, now I send their babies presents. And what's that that I heard? That you're still with her? That's nice, I'm sure that's what's suitable and right. I guess sometimes we all get just what we wanted, just what we wanted.

So don't look at me, you've got a girl at home and everybody knows that.

Taylor Swift - All Too Well (10 Minute Version)

I walked through the door with you, the air was cold But somethin' 'bout it felt like home somehow And I left my scarf there at your sister's house And you've still got it in your drawer, even now Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze We're singin' in the car, getting lost upstate Autumn leaves fallin' down like pieces into place And I can picture it after all these days And I know it's long gone and That magic's not here no more And I might be okay, but I'm not fine at all Oh, oh, oh 'Causе there we arе again on that little town street You almost ran the red 'cause you were lookin' over at me Wind in my hair, I was there I remember it all too well Photo album on the counter, your cheeks were turnin' red You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bed And your mother's tellin' stories 'bout you on the tee-ball team You taught me 'bout your past, thinkin' your future was me And you were tossing me the car keys, "Fuck the patriarchy" Keychain on the ground, we were always skippin' town And I was thinkin' on the drive down, "Any time now He's gonna say it's love," you never called it what it was 'Til we were dead and gone and buried Check the pulse and come back swearin' it's the same After three months in the grave And then you wondered where it went to as I reached for you But all I felt was shame and you held my lifeless frame

And I know it's long gone and There was nothing else I could do And I forget about you long enough To forget why I needed to 'Cause there we are again in the middle of the night We're dancin' 'round the kitchen in the refrigerator light Down the stairs, I was there I remember it all too well And there we are again when nobody had to know You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath Sacred prayer and we'd swear To remember it all too well, yeah Well, maybe we got lost in translation, maybe I asked for too much But maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up Runnin' scared, I was there I remember it all too well And you call me up again just to break me like a promise So casually cruel in the name of bein' honest I'm a crumpled-up piece of paper lyin' here 'Cause I remember it all, all, all They say all's well that ends well, but I'm in a new hell Every time you double-cross my mind You said if we had been closer in age, maybe it would've been fine And that made me want to die The idea you had of me, who was she? A never-needy, ever-lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you Not weepin' in a party bathroom Some actress askin' me what happened, you That's what happened, you You who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes Sippin' coffee like you're on a late-night show But then he watched me watch the front door all night, willin' you to come And he said, "It's supposed to be fun turning twenty-one" Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still tryin' to find it After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone But you keep my old scarf from that very first week 'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me You can't get rid of it 'Cause you remember it all too well, yeah 'Cause there we are again when I loved you so Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known It was rare, I was there I remember it all too well Wind in my hair, you were there You remember it all Down the stairs, you were there You remember it all It was rare, I was there I remember it all too well And I was never good at tellin' jokes, but the punch line goes "I'll get older, but your lovers stay my age" From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue? Just between us, did the love affair maim you too? 'Cause in this city's barren cold I still remember the first fall of snow And how it glistened as it fell I remember it all too well Just between us, did the love affair maim you all too well? Just between us, do you remember it all too well? Just between us, I remember it (Just between us) all too well Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there (I was there) Down the stairs, I was there, I was there Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there It was rare, you remember it all too well Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there (Oh) Down the stairs, I was there, I was there (I was there) Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there It was rare, you remember it (All too well) Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there Down the stairs, I was there, I was there Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there It was rare, you remember it Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there Down the stairs, I was there, I was there Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there It was rare, you remember it

Okay but hear me out and prepare for a rant about our lovely Grindeldore

All too well (10 minute version) by Taylor Swift is one of the top songs that describe Gellerts and Albus' relationship.

And I was thinking on the drive down, any time now

He's gonna say it's love, you never called it what it was

'Til we were dead and gone and buried

^ "Because I was in love with you" being said when they fell apart already

Check the pulse and come back swearing it's the same

After three months in the grave

And then you wondered where it went to as I reached for you

But all I felt was shame and you held my lifeless frame

^ Them touching each others hearts during the duel

Maybe we got lost in translation

Maybe I asked for too much

^ Gellert's pov cause he wanted to do horrible things

But maybe this thing was a masterpiece

'Til you tore it all up

Running scared, I was there I remember it all too well

^ Gellert's pov again because Albus was the one to leave

And you call me up again

Just to break me like a promise

^ Them constantly being forced to meet or think about each other

So casually cruel in the name of being honest

I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here

'Cause I remember it all, all, all

^ Albus' pov cause Gellert is cruel in the name of "freedom". Also Albus is always reminded about Gellert even as a headmaster for example with the Elder Wand

They say all's well that ends well

But I'm in a new hell every time you double-cross my mind

^ Everyone telling Albus its okay now cause Gellert is locked but not knowing how much pain Albus is going through

Some actress asking me what happened, you, that's what happened, you

^ I dont think I have to explain

But then he watched me watch the front door all night, willing you to come

And he said, "It's supposed to be fun turning twenty-one"

^ Gellert wishing Albus would come back

Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it

^ They both cant and never actually move on

I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it

^ The whole thing changed and hurt them both deeply and they will never be the same

After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own

Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone

But you keep my old scarf from that very first week

'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me

You can't get rid of it

'Cause you remember it all too well, yeah

^ In the beggining of SoD its the blood pact, then for Albus its Elder Wand

'Cause there we are again when I loved you so

Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known

^ They never had anyone else ever again. They never loved anyone that much. And probably never trusted anyone else that much either

And I was never good at telling jokes but the punch line goes

I'll get older but your lovers stay my age

From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones

I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight

^ They changed. They are scarred for life and will never heal

And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue?

Just between us, did the love affair maim you too?

^ I dont think I have to explain

[drivemysoul]

Pollution Queen’s music sucks

I walked through the door with you, the air was cold

But something 'bout it felt like home somehow

And I left my scarf there at your sister's house

And you've still got it in your drawer, even now

Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze

We're singing in the car, getting lost upstate

Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place

And I can picture it after all these days

And I know it's long gone and

That magic's not here no more

And I might be okay, but I'm not fine at all

Oh, oh, oh

'Cause there we are again on that little town street

You almost ran the red 'cause you were lookin' over at me

Wind in my hair, I was there

I remember it all too well

Photo album on the counter, your cheeks were turning red

You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bed

And your mother's telling stories 'bout you on the tee-ball team

You taught me 'bout your past, thinking your future was me

And you were tossing me the car keys, "fuck the patriarchy"

Key chain on the ground, we were always skipping town

And I was thinking on the drive down, any time now

He's gonna say it's love, you never called it what it was

'Til we were dead and gone and buried

Check the pulse and come back swearing it's the same

After three months in the grave

And then you wondered where it went to as I reached for you

But all I felt was shame and you held my lifeless frame

And I know it's long gone and

There was nothing else I could do

And I forget about you long enough

To forget why I needed to

'Cause there we are again in the middle of the night

We're dancing 'round the kitchen in the refrigerator light

Down the stairs, I was there

I remember it all too well

And there we are again when nobody had to know

You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath

Sacred prayer and we'd swear

To remember it all too well, yeah

Well, maybe we got lost in translation

Maybe I asked for too much

But maybe this thing was a masterpiece

'Til you tore it all up

Running scared, I was there

I remember it all too well

And you call me up again just to break me like a promise

So casually cruel in the name of being honest

I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here

'Cause I remember it all, all, all

They say all's well that ends well, but I'm in a new Hell

Every time you double-cross my mind

You said if we had been closer in age maybe it would have been fine

And that made me want to die

The idea you had of me, who was she?

A never-needy, ever-lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you

Not weeping in a party bathroom

Some actress asking me what happened, you

That's what happened, you

You who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes

Sipping coffee like you're on a late-night show

But then he watched me watch the front door all night, willing you to come

And he said, "It's supposed to be fun turning twenty-one"

Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it

I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it

After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own

Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone

But you keep my old scarf from that very first week

'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me

You can't get rid of it

'Cause you remember it all too well, yeah

'Cause there we are again when I loved you so

Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known

It was rare, I was there

I remember it all too well

Wind in my hair, you were there

You remember it all

Down the stairs, you were there

You remember it all

It was rare, I was there

I remember it all too well

And I was never good at telling jokes, but the punch line goes

"I'll get older, but your lovers stay my age"

From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones

I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight

And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue?

Just between us, did the love affair maim you, too?

'Cause in this city's barren cold

I still remember the first fall of snow

And how it glistened as it fell

I remember it all too well

Just between us, did the love affair maim you all too well?

Just between us, do you remember it all too well?

Just between us, I remember it (Just between us), all too well

Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there

Down the stairs, I was there, I was there

Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there

It was rare, you remember it all too well

Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there

Down the stairs, I was there, I was there

Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there

It was rare, you remember it

Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there

Down the stairs, I was there, I was there

Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there

It was rare, you remember it

Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there

Down the stairs, I was there, I was there

Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there

It was rare, you remember it

We Hear Swift's Lyric Changes All Too Well

Prompt: How do the added verses in the 10-minute version of "All Too Well" reshape our understanding of the relationship's power dynamics? What aspects of the relationship become clearer with time and distance?

When Taylor released her 10-minute version of "All Too Well" on Red (Taylor's Version), fans were shocked to hear the lyrical additions. For the most part, the outcome was an ongoing hate campaign on Jake Gyllenhaal--and for good reason. This was exacerbated when Swift released a short film to accompany the song, giving life to the already-painful lyrics. In this post, we will examine which aspects of the song Taylor added and what they reveal about the relationship dynamic between he-who-shall-not-be-named and herself.

"He's gonna say it's love, / you never called it what it was / 'Til we were dead and gone and buried / Check the pulse and come back swearin' / it's the same / After three months in the grave"

This lyric implies that Jake never said "I love you" and was not open with his feelings until it was too late. It further implies that Jake ignored the relationship, allowing it to "die off" before it was officially over.

"They say all's well that ends well, but I'm in a new hell / Every time you double-cross my mind / You said if we had been closer in age, maybe it would've been fine / And that made me want to die"

From this segment, we see two themes: manipulation and an age gap. We know that Swift and Gyllenhaal dated when they were 20 and 29 respectively, which undoubtedly impacted their relationship power dynamic.

"But then he watched me watch the front door all night, willin' you to come / And he said, "It's supposed to be fun turning twenty-one""

These lines are a callback to the themes in "The Moment I Knew," which details how Taylor knew her relationship was over when her partner broke his promise to come to her birthday party. It is likely that Swift felt abandoned many times during the relationship.

"And I was never good at tellin' jokes, but the punch line goes / "I'll get older, but your lovers stay my age" / From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones / I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight / And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue? / Just between us, did the love affair maim you too?"

This section emphasizes the profound damage that Taylor experienced as a result of the relationship. On the other hand, she is left questioning if Jake was even hurt by their fraught relationship and ultimate demise. In terms of the dynamic, this would imply that he held more power.

And I was never good at telling jokes, but the punch line goes "I'll get older, but your lovers stay my age" From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue? Just between us, did the love affair maim you, too? 'Cause in this city's barren cold I still remember the first fall of snow And how it glistened as it fell I remember it all too well

[clairedelune-13]

Having always been fascinated with wordplay, TSwift is a goldmine. There are so many metaphors used in her songs I find myself repeating cuz its just so great.

“How can you say that you love someone you can’t tell is dying?”

“You’re still all over me like a wine-stained dress I can’t wear anymore.”

“And you were tossing me the car keys, ‘Fuck the patriarchy’ keychain on the ground.”

“And there we are again, when nobody had to know. You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath. Sacred prayer, and we’d swear to remember it all too well.”

“Then you call me up again, just to break me like a promise. So casually cruel in the name of being honest. I’m a crumpled up piece of paper lying here...”

“They say ‘all’s well that ends well’, but I’m in a new hell every time you double-cross my mind.”

“And I was never good at telling jokes, but the punchline goes: ‘I’ll get older, but your lovers stay my age.’ From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones, I’m a soldier who’s returning half her weight.”
