I Knew You Were Trouble

LYRICS
Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago I was in your sights, you got me alone You found me, you found me You found me-e-e-e-e I guess you didn't care and I guess I liked that And when I fell hard, you took a step back Without me, without me Without me-e-e-e-e (Pre-Chorus) And he's long gone When he's next to me And I realize, the blame is on me (Chorus) I knew you were trouble when you walked in So shame on me now, flew me to places I'd never been Til you put me down <span class="line line-s" id="line_18" style="padding-right:5px;padding-left:5px;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15px;display:block;color:rgb(0,0,0);">Oh I knew you were trouble when you walked in <span class="line line-s" id="line_19" style="padding-right:5px;padding-left:5px;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15px;display:block;color:rgb(0,0,0);">So shame on me now, flew me to places I'd never been <span class="line line-s" id="line_20" style="padding-right:5px;padding-left:5px;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15px;display:block;color:rgb(0,0,0);">Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground <span class="line line-s" id="line_21" style="padding-right:5px;padding-left:5px;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15px;display:block;color:rgb(0,0,0);">Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble <span class="line line-s" id="line_22" style="padding-right:5px;padding-left:5px;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15px;display:block;color:rgb(0,0,0);">Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble <span class="line line-s" id="line_23" style="padding-right:5px;padding-left:5px;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15px;display:block;color:rgb(0,0,0);">(Verse 2) <span class="line line-s" id="line_24" style="padding-right:5px;padding-left:5px;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15px;display:block;color:rgb(0,0,0);">No apologies, he'll never see you cry <span class="line line-s" id="line_25" style="padding-right:5px;padding-left:5px;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15px;display:block;color:rgb(0,0,0);">Pretends he doesn't know that he's the reason why <span class="line line-s" id="line_26" style="padding-right:5px;padding-left:5px;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15px;display:block;color:rgb(0,0,0);">You're drowning, you're drowning <span class="line line-s" id="line_27" style="padding-right:5px;padding-left:5px;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15px;display:block;color:rgb(0,0,0);">You're drowning-ing-ing-ing-ing <span class="line line-s" id="line_28" style="padding-right:5px;padding-left:5px;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15px;display:block;color:rgb(0,0,0);">And I heard you moved on from whispers on the street <span class="line line-s" id="line_29" style="padding-right:5px;padding-left:5px;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15px;display:block;color:rgb(0,0,0);">A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be <span class="line line-s" id="line_30" style="padding-right:5px;padding-left:5px;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15px;display:block;color:rgb(0,0,0);">Now I see, Now I see <span class="line line-s" id="line_31" style="padding-right:5px;padding-left:5px;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15px;display:block;color:rgb(0,0,0);">Now I see-e-e-e-e <span class="line line-s" id="line_32" style="padding-right:5px;padding-left:5px;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15px;display:block;color:rgb(0,0,0);"> <span class="line line-s" id="line_33" style="padding-right:5px;padding-left:5px;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15px;display:block;color:rgb(0,0,0);">(Pre-Chorus) <span class="line line-s" id="line_34" style="padding-right:5px;padding-left:5px;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15px;display:block;color:rgb(0,0,0);">He was long gone <span class="line line-s" id="line_35" style="padding-right:5px;padding-left:5px;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15px;display:block;color:rgb(0,0,0);">When he met me <span class="line line-s" id="line_36" style="padding-right:5px;padding-left:5px;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15px;display:block;color:rgb(0,0,0);">And I realize the joke is on me <span class="line line-s" id="line_37" style="padding-right:5px;padding-left:5px;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15px;display:block;color:rgb(0,0,0);">Hey!

LYRIC CRITICS TIME
<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Once upon a time a few mistakes ago 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''No, you only ever say "Once upon a time" if you're telling a fairy tale. '''

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">You found me, you found me, you found me <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">,  <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">I guess you didn't care 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''Your guess is most likely going to be wrong. He probably did care about you, but times change, people grow up, lose interest for things and move on, the whole nine yards. He probably doesn't care now, yes, but that's not what you said, you said he didn't care at all throughout the entire month. Like all that hard work was absolutely meaningless. '''

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">I guess you didn't care, and I guess I liked that 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''If you liked when he wasn't there for you, which he probably most likely was, then I don't see what the problem is. You might be into the mental BDSM thing, you masochistic fuck you.'''

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">And he's long gone when he's next to me 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">This line has the equality of a wet carrot.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">And I realize the blame is on me 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''Actually, Ms. Swift, you don't realize anything. This is all sarcasm. You are viewing this from the wrong point of view. You only see where he went wrong, and not you. You're saying the blame is on you not because he broke up with you, but because you dated him in the first place, and that is ignorant. But hey, that's Taylor for ya!'''

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Flew me to places I'd never been, 'Til you put me down, oh 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''What? I'm sorry, how do these lines interact with one another? He flew you to other countries you never saw, then you return the favor not by thanking him, but saying he put you down the entire time. Unless this is a Swift Metaphor*, then this is obviously a pathetic line.'''

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">*a swift metaphor is a metaphor that makes absolutely no sense and an example of a swift metaphor is used in almost every line in every song you create.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''Now you're not making any sense. Are you expecting him to pick you back up? But as you said up above, he took a step back when you fell,BUT you got back up, so this isn't the same incident from when he stepped back. '''

<p style="text-align:start;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">No apologies, he'll never see you cry 

<p style="text-align:start;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Ms. Swift with all do respect, he isn't the one owing anyone an apology.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Pretend he doesn't know that he's the reason why,  '<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''No, Taylor. You're the reason you're drowning. How? Because you never admit to yourself being at fault. For anything. At all. Ever. "Oh, I just killed your parents? Not my fault, it's how you treated me. sorry not sorry." Does that make any fricken sense?'''

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Now I heard you moved on from whispers on the street 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''Well, the 'streets' are the bad part of towns with the pot heads, crack addicts, and crappy apartments that are rented for unemployed rednecks who still mooch off their daddy's credit card go to to have sex. I wouldn't trust anything from the street.'''

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be,  '<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">And now I see, now I see, now I see 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">I also see, I also see, I also see, another swift metaphor.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">And the saddest fear comes creeping in 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''Pretty sure a month long relationship with the main guy from 1D isn't that big of a fear. See, I dislike both of you, but I wouldn't dare listen to Harry Styles' voice. But this time, I'm going to defend him, because he didn't do anything wrong.'''

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">That you never loved me or her, or anyone, or anything, yeah 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''"Yea, fuck you, Harry! You love your mom? EWE!!111!1 You would take a bullet for one of your band members?! OMG GAYYYYYY!!!! You didn't get as intimate with a 4-week old relationship? U SLEAZY CHEKY M8." This is what you sound like, Taylor. Please think before you create another terrible song.'''
