Taylor swift recently started her Speak Now tour in Singapore with this song called "The Story Of Us". Actually this was the third song in her performance.
Yes probably the story of us... Which we thought of as an unending tale...is almost over now. The memory burned out... The ashes are what remains of that relationship now... And certainly its not helping in my survival. Did you not know how it is to feel lonely... I thought no one would ever know more about it than you... Still you let this tragic end happen to our story? Does it ever bother you? Do you ever think about it?
Have you never felt alone at a party where everyone else is shouting at the top of their voice and you are standing in one corner, feeling like there is nothing to speak now. It's all in the feelings.

The Story Of Us
Songwriters: Swift, Taylor Alison;
I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
People would say, "they're the lucky ones"
I used to know my place was a spot next to you
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on
Oh, a simple complication
Miscommunications lead to fall out
So many things that I wish you knew
So many walls up I can't break through
Now I'm standing alone
In a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now
Next chapter
How'd we end up this way?
See me nervously pulling at my clothes
And trying to look busy
And you're doing your best to avoid me
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
But you held your pride like you should have held me
Oh, we're scared to see the ending
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
I've never heard silence quite this loud
Now I'm standing alone
In a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now
This is looking like a contest
Of who can act like they care less
But I liked it better when you were on my side
The battle's in your hands now
But I would lay my armor down
If you'd say you'd rather love than fight
So many things that you wish I knew
But the story of us might be ending soon
Now I'm standing alone
In a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate
'cause we're going down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now
Definitely I will miss something in my left over lyf, but I am not complaining about it anymore. It was always my decision, so I don't want to sound childish, regretting the past. I have heard the loud sound of silence. If you haven't
Our story was destined to messed up. We can't turn things back, or try to make things right. There is just too much damage that has happened. I ask this question again, I don't know to whom, why do we attach ourselves to the people if we don't know whether they will be with us forever or not. The problem with getting attached to someone is that when you lose them, you lose yourself. The irony is that you leave the whole world for just one person, and that person leaves you for the world.

If I try hard enough I'm sure I could forget you. One day I will get out of these memory lanes.
we attach ourselves to people because it's human nature. we are meant to find our other half, even if they aren't good for us (whether we know it at the time or not). no matter how many people warn us, we are unable to stop ourselves.
ReplyDeleteeven knowing what you know now, would you still do it all over again? would you rather have had this person in your life, shared your life with them, then never given it a shot? knowing you could avoid the heartbreak, would you walk away?
@Manda: I am scared to speak out the answer to that question. I don't want to face that situation. If I had the choice.... I can't tell what would have done.
ReplyDelete@Anon: I am politically 'truthful' and technically 'correct' always, but I don't want you to judge me on the basis of what I would have done.
And yes, I will delete your comments. They are not for me.
Everyone has this tendency to judge people by their actions. And answering questions like those is not easy at the turn where I am standing. Trust me... Oh I forgot, who else would know how difficult it can be for me, rather than you.. isn't it? I know you are always truthful even if you are not correct... Sometimes the very fact that you are truthful takes away the credit of being correct, sweet, polite etc etc...
ReplyDeleteand that truly is a horrible place to be - I have taken a temporary vacation home in Denial; and I am DREADING the day I have to wake up to reality...
ReplyDeleteit is honestly no easy feat
