For better or worse, cheesy or too true, you can’t deny that Taylor Swift knows a thing or two about relationships. Come on, look at that track record: Taylor Lautner, a Jonas brother and, most recently, Calvin Harris? Wild. But despite her celebrity status, she writes some of the most heartfelt but cliche lyrics about falling in and out of love. Here’s the Sparknotes version of how she breaks down the process:

1. "I was enchanted to meet you." –"Enchanted"

2. “All I know is you held the door, your eyes look like coming home.” –"Everything has Changed"

3. “You are the best thing that’s ever been mine.” –"Mine"

4. “Screaming, crying, perfect storm, I can make all the tables turn." –"Blank Space"

5. “Did you have to do this? I was thinking that you could be trusted." –"Bad Blood"

6. “And by morning, gone was any trace of you. I think I am finally clean." –"Clean"

7. “On a Wednesday, in a cafe, I watched it begin again.” –"Begin Again"

Taylor knows the ins and outs of relationships. We all know she's been in enough of them. I think we could learn a thing or two from her lyrics.
