Taylor Swift has gotten me through a lot of hard times, cheered me up when I was down, and supported all of my best times. She has been there since I was just a little kid. She has a way of saying exactly what I feel, sometimes before I even know what I am feeling, and she does it in the most beautiful way. I've found that she has the perfect song for any situation I am facing and anything I am feeling.
When you find the one who gets to you:
Sparks Fly
"I'm on my guard for the rest of the world
But with you I know it's no good"
Enchanted
"This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
This night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you"
When someone treats you wrong:
Mean
"Someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?"
Shake it Off
"I'll never miss a beat, I'm lightning on my feet
And that's what they don't see mmm, that's what they don't see mmm"
When you are up and moving on:
Picture to burn
"There's no time for tears,
I'm just sitting here
Planning my revenge
There's nothing stopping me
From going out with all of your best friends"
When nothing seems to be going your way:
Change
And it’s a sad picture,
The final blow hits you
Somebody else gets what you wanted again
And you know it’s all the same,
Another time and place
Repeating history and you’re getting sick of it
But I believe in whatever you do
And I’ll do anything to see it through
Because these things will change
When you love the one you can't have:
Teardrops on my Guitar
"I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without"
You Belong With Me
"I'm in my room
It's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do"
When you are going through a breakup
Last Kiss
"But now I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is
I don't know how to be something you miss"
When you are missing a past love:
Tim McGraw
"When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me"
All Too Well
"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.
Hey, 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... too well."
When you are down on yourself:
Stay Beautiful
"You're beautiful
Every little piece love,
And don't you know
You're really gonna be someone,
Ask anyone."
When he does you wrong:
Should've Said No
"You should've said "No", you should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You should've known that word, with what you did with her,
Get back to me"
Tell Me Why
"I'm sick and tired of your attitude
I'm feeling like I don't know you
You tell me that you love me then you cut me down
And I need you like a heartbeat
But you know you got a mean streak
Makes me run for cover when you're around"
Forever and Always
"And I stare at the phone,
He still hasn't called
And then you feel so low, you can't feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when he said forever and always"
When you take him back:
The Last Time
"This is the last time I'm asking you this,
Put my name at the top of your list,
This is the last time I'm asking you why,
You break my heart in the blink of an eye"
When you realize just how strong you are:
New Romantics
"We are too busy dancing
To get knocked off our feet"
When you lose the one you love, and it's your fault:
Back to December
"It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine"
When you are starting over:
Begin Again
"And you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did"
Everything has changed
"Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name, everything has changed"
When you are stuck dwelling on the past:
Fifteen
"Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen, don't forget to love before you fall
I've found time can heal most anything
And you just might find who you're supposed to be
I didn't know who I was supposed to be
Fifteen"
Innocent
"Time turns flames to embers
You'll have new Septembers
Every one of us has messed up too
Minds change like the weather
I hope you remember
Today is never too late to be brand new"
When you fall head over heels:
Hey Stephen
"Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel,
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain.
So come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you.
Can't help it if there's no one else.
Mmm, I can't help myself."
When you finally find the right one:
Mine
"Braced myself for the goodbye,
'Cause that's all I've ever known
Then, you took me by surprise
You said, "I'll never leave you alone""
I hope you remember this list when you face any of these situations, and you allow the wise words of Taylor to speak for you, get you through it, or play in the back round as you dance around the room.
