Everybodys waiting Everybodys watching Even when youre sleeping Keep your ey-eyes open The tricky thing Is yesterday we were just children Playing soldiers Just pretending Dreaming dreams with happy endings In backyards, winning battles with our wooden swords But now weve stepped into a cruel world Where everybody stands and keeps score Keep your eyes open Everybodys waiting for you to break down Everybodys watching to see the fallout Even when youre sleeping, sleeping Keep your ey-eyes open Keep your ey-eyes open Keep your ey-eyes open So here you are, two steps ahead and staying on guard Every lesson forms a new scar They never thought youd make it this far But turn around Oh, theyve surrounded you Its a showdown And nobody comes to save you now But youve got something they dont Yeah youve got something they dont Youve just got to keep your eyes open Everybodys waiting for you to break down Everybodys watching to see the fallout Even when youre sleeping, sleeping Keep your ey-eyes open Keep your ey-eyes open Keep your ey-eyes Keep your feet ready Heartbeat steady Keep your eyes open Keep your aim locked The night goes dark Keep your eyes open Keep your eyes open Keep your eyes open Keep your eyes open Everybodys waiting for you to break down Everybodys watching to see the fallout Even when youre sleeping, sleeping Keep your ey-eyes open Keep your ey-eyes open Keep your ey-eyes open Keep your ey-eyes open Keep your ey-eyes open
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart? Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart, now? Why would you wanna make the very first scar? Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart? Maybe I shouldve seen the signs Shouldve read the writing on the wall And realized by the distance in your eyes that I would be the one to fall No matter what you say, I still cant believe That you would walk away It dont make sense to me, but Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart? Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart, now? Why would you wanna make the very first scar? Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart? Its not unbroken anymore How do I get it back the way it was before? Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart? Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart, now? Why would you wanna make the very first scar? Why would you wanna break? Why would you wanna break it? Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart? Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart, now? Why would you wanna make the very first scar? Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?

In the heat of the fight I walked away Ignorin words that you were sayin Tryna make me stay I said, This time Ive had enough And youve called a hundred times But Im not picking up Cause Im so mad I might tell you that its over But if you look a little closer I said, Leave, but all I really want is you To stand outside my window throwin pebbles Screamin, Im in love with you Wait there in the pourin rain, comin back for more And dont you leave cause I know All I need is on the other side of the door Me and my stupid pride are sittin here alone Goin through the photographs, starin at the phone I keep goin back over things we both said And I remember the slamming door And all the things that I misread Oh, babe, if you know everything Tell me why you couldnt see When I left, I wanted you to chase after me, yeah I said, Leave, but all I really want is you To stand outside my window throwin pebbles Screamin, Im in love with you Wait there in the pourin rain, comin back for more And dont you leave cause I know All I need is on the other side of the door And Ill scream out the window I cant even look at you I dont need you but I do, I do, I do I say, Theres nothing you can say To make this right again, I mean it, I mean it But what I mean is I said, Leave, but, baby, all I want is you To stand outside my window throwin pebbles Screamin, Im in love with you Wait there in the pourin rain, comin back for more And dont you leave cause I know All I need is on the other side of the door With your face and the beautiful eyes And the conversation with the little white lies And the faded picture of a beautiful night You carried me from your car up the stairs And I broke down crying, was she worth this mess? After everything and that little black dress After everything I must confess, I need you
Once upon a time I believe it was a Tuesday when I caught your eye And we caught onto something I hold onto the night You looked me in the eye and told me you loved me Were you just kidding? Cause it seems to me This thing is breaking down, we almost never speak I dont feel welcome anymore Baby, what happened? Please tell me Cause one second it was perfect Now youre halfway out the door And I stare at the phone, he still hasnt called And then you feel so low you cant feel nothing at all And you flashback to when he said, forever and always Oh, and it rains in your bedroom Everything is wrong It rains when youre here and it rains when youre gone Cause I was there when you said, forever and always Was I out of line? Did I say something way too honest, made you run and hide Like a scared little boy? I looked into your eyes Thought I knew you for a minute, now Im not so sure So heres to everything coming down to nothing Heres to silence that cuts me to the core Where is this going? Thought I knew for a minute, but I dont anymore And I stare at the phone, he still hasnt called And then you feel so low you cant feel nothing at all And you flashback to when he said, forever and always Oh, and it rains in your bedroom Everything is wrong It rains when youre here and it rains when youre gone Cause I was there when you said, forever and always You didnt mean it baby, I dont think so Oh, back up, baby, back up Did you forget everything? Back up, baby, back up Did you forget everything? Cause it rains in your bedroom Everything is wrong It rains when youre here and it rains when youre gone Cause I was there when you said, forever and always Oh, I stare at the phone, he still hasnt called And then you feel so low you cant feel nothing at all And you flashback to when we said, forever and always And it rains in your bedroom Everything is wrong It rains when youre here and it rains when youre gone Cause I was there when you said, forever and always You didnt mean it baby You said, forever and always, yeah
This is another way Ive written songs recently. This is a song I did with Jack Antonoff, and Jack is one of my friends and so were hanging out and he pulled out his phone and goes I made this amazing track the other day. Its so cool, I love these guitar sounds. And he played it for me and immediately I could hear this finished song in my head, and I just said Please, please let me have that. Let me play with it, like send it to me. And so he sent it to me and I was on tour and this was me playing the track on my laptop recording me singing the vocal into my phone and it ended up being a song called I Wish You Would, because Jack wrote back and said I love that. So this is another way of writing, its writing to track: Okay so this is an idea called I Wish You Would. Its kind of about this guy whos like, hes driving down the street at the middle of the night and he passes his ex-girlfriends house and its like, he thinks she hate him, but shes still in love with him, very dramatic. This track is sick, hope you like this Its 2 am, in your car Windows down, past my street the memories start Its in the past You drive straight ahead You thinking that I hate you now Cause you still dont know what I never said I wish you would come back Wish I never hung up the phone like I did I wish you knew that Id never forget you as long as I live, and I Wish you were right here, right now, its all good I wish you would Do you like it!?
All this time I was wasting hoping you would come around Ive been giving out chances every time and all you do is let me down And its taken me this long, baby, but Ive figured you out And youre thinking well be fine again, but not this time around You dont have to call anymore I wont pick up the phone This is the last straw Dont wanna hurt anymore And you can tell me that youre sorry But I dont believe you, baby, like I did before Youre not sorry No, no, oh-oh Youre looking so innocent, I might believe you if I didnt know Couldve loved you all my life if you hadnt lеft me waiting in the cold And youve got your sharе of secrets And Im tired of being last to know, oh And now youre asking me to listen Cause its worked each time before But you dont have to call anymore I wont pick up the phone This is the last straw Dont wanna hurt anymore And you can tell me that youre sorry But I dont believe you, baby, like I did before Youre not sorry No, no, oh-oh Youre not sorry No, no, oh-oh You had me crawling for you, honey And it never wouldve gone away, no You used to shine so bright, but I watched all of it fade So you dont have to call anymore I wont pick up the phone This is the last straw Theres nothing left to beg for And you can tell me that youre sorry But I dont believe you, baby, like I did before Youre not sorry No, no, oh-oh Youre not sorry No, no, oh-oh No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Woah, oh, oh oh, oh oh oh Oh, oh, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no
Untouchable like a distant diamond sky Im reaching out and I just cant tell you why Im caught up in you, Im caught up in you Untouchable, burning brighter than the sun And when youre close, I feel like coming undone In the middle of the night when Im in this dream Its like a million little stars spelling out your name You got to come on, come on, say that well be together Come on, come on, little taste of heaven Its half full and I wont wait here all day I know youre saying that youd be here anyway But youre untouchable, burning brighter than the sun And now that youre close, I feel like coming undone In the middle of the night when Im in this dream Its like a million little stars spelling out your name You got to come on, come on, say that well be together Come on, come on, oh In the middle of the night waking from this dream I want to feel you by my side, standing next to me You got to come on, come on, say that well be together Come on, come on, little taste of heaven Im caught up in you Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh But youre untouchable, burning brighter than the sun Now that youre close, I feel like coming undone In the middle of the night when Im in this dream Its like a million little stars spelling out your name You got to come on, come on, say that well be together Come on, come on, oh In the middle of the night when Im in this dream Its like a million little stars spelling out your name You got to come on, come on, say that well be together Come on, come on, come on In the middle of the night waking from this dream I want to feel you by my side, standing next to me You got to come on, come on, say that well be together Come on, come on, little taste of heaven Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh And in the middle of the night when Im in this dream Its like a million little stars spelling out your name You got to come on, come on, oh Come on, come on Come on, come on, oh, oh, oh Its like a million little stars spelling out your name Theyre spelling out your name, oh
He said, I got me a nice new apartment In the city, wouldnt you have hated that? Im getting by with a broken heart you left me with He hangs up the phone and she whispers back Missing you like this is such sweet sorrow Wont you come back to me? Ill be here, today and here tomorrow In dark blue Tennessee He was lying when he said he moved to L.A Hes just hiding out on the other side of town With his head in his hands and shes just seven miles away Hes staring out the window and puts her picture down, saying Missing you like this is such sweet sorrow Wont you come back to me? Ill be here, today and here tomorrow In dark blue Tennessee She almost called him on the night that he wrote These simple words on his goodbye note Missing you like this is such sweet sorrow Wont you come back to me? Ill be here, today and here tomorrow In dark blue Tennessee In dark blue Tennessee
There I was again tonight forcing laughter, faking smiles Same old tired, lonely place Walls of insincerity Shifting eyes and vacancy vanished when I saw your face All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you Your eyes whispered have we met? Across the room your silhouette starts to make its way to me The playful conversation starts Counter all your quick remarks like passing notes in secrecy All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you Oh, Taylor, I was so enchanted to meet you too This night is sparkling, dont you let it go Im wonderstruck, blushing all the way home Ill spend forever wondering if you knew I was enchanted to meet you too The lingering question kept me up 2 AM, who do you love? I wondered till Im wide awake Now Im pacing back and forth, wishing you were at my door Id open up and you would say It was enchanting to meet you Oh, Taylor, I was so enchanted to meet you too This night is sparkling, dont you let it go Im wonderstruck, blushing all the way home Ill spend forever wondering if you knew I was enchanted to meet you too This is me praying that this was the very first page Not where the story line ends My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again These are the words I held back as I was leaving too soon I was enchanted to meet you too Please dont be in love with someone else Please dont have somebody waiting on you Please dont be in love with someone else Please dont have somebody waiting on you This night is sparkling, dont you let it go Im wonderstruck, blushing all the way home Ill spend forever wondering if you knew This night is flawless, dont you let it go Im wonderstruck, dancing around all alone Taylor Ill spend my whole life wondering if you knew I was enchanted to meet you too I was never in love with someone else I never had somebody waiting on me Cause you were all of my dreams come true And I just wish you knew Taylor, I was so in love with you

Today was a fairytale You were the prince I used to be a damsel in distress You took me by the hand and you picked me up at six Today was a fairytale Today was a fairytale Today was a fairytale I wore a dress You wore a dark gray t-shirt You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess Today was a fairytale Time slows down Whenever youre around Can you feel this magic in the air? It must have been the way you kissed me Fell in love when I saw you standing there It must have been the way Today was a fairytale It must have been the way Today was a fairytale Today was a fairytale Youve got a smile That takes me to another planet Every move you make, everything you say is right Today was a fairytale Today was a fairytale All that I can say Is now its getting so much clearer Nothing made sense til the time I saw your face Today was a fairytale Time slows down Whenever youre around, yeah But can you feel this magic in the air? It must have been the way you kissed me Fell in love when I saw you standing there It must have been the way Today was a fairytale It must have been the way Today was a fairytale Time slows down Whenever youre around I can feel my heart Its beating in my chest Did you feel it? I cant put this down But can you feel this magic in the air? It must have been the way you kissed me Fell in love when I saw you standing there It must have been the way But can you feel this magic in the air? It must have been the way you kissed me Fell in love when I saw you standing there It must have been the way Today was a fairytale It must have been the way Today was a fairytale Oh, oh, yeah, oh-oh Today was a fairytale
Lyrics from Snippet The way I walked out was all, was all fucking talk And it aint easier after all week Well, that all I need, stay here with me Well, if you cannot tell until you ride away If I say a spell, if I cannot stay I am less at ease, with the best ideas See the forest trees, come watch these, watch these Birch trees, oh Hey my love, thanks For two case I fall, which I could Seems she needed you badly So I beg on knees Can we share out these?
Taylors Letter This album is called Fearless, and I guess Id like to clarify why we chose that as the title. To me, Fearless is not the absence of fear. Its not being completely unafraid. To me, fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. Fearless is falling madly in love again, even though youve been hurt before. Fearless is walking into your freshman year of high school at fifteen. Fearless is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again...even though every time youe tried before, youve lost. Its fearless to have faith that someday things will change. Fearless is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you cant breathe without them. I think its fearless to fall for your best friend, even though hes in love with someone else. And when someone apologizes to you enough times for things theyll never stop doing, I think its fearless to stop believing them. Its fearless to say youre NOT sorry, and walk away. I think loving someone despite what people think is fearless. I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is fearless. Letting go is fearless. Then, moving on and being alright...Thats fearless too. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have to believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily every after. Thats why I write these songs. Because I think love is fearless 1.

You were in college, working part-time, waiting tables Left a small town and never looked back I was a flight risk, with a fear of falling Wondering why we bother with love, if it never lasts I say, Can you believe it? As were lying on the couch The moment, I could see it Yes, yes, I can see it now Do you remember, we were sitting there, by the water? You put your arm around me for the first time You made a rebel of a careless mans careful daughter You are the best thing thats ever been mine Flash forward, and were taking on the world together And theres a drawer of my things at your place You learn my secrets and figure out why Im guarded You say well never make my parents mistakes But we got bills to pay We got nothing figured out When it was hard to take Yes, yes This is what I thought about: Do you remember, we were sitting there, by the water? You put your arm around me for the first time You made a rebel of a careless mans careful daughter You are the best thing thats ever been mine Do you remember all the city lights on the water? You saw me start to believe for the first time You made a rebel of a careless mans careful daughter You are the best thing thats ever been mine Ah, oh, oh And I remember that fight, 2:30 AM When everything was slipping right out of our hands I ran out, crying, and you followed me out into the street Braced myself for the goodbye Cause thats all Ive ever known Then, you took me by surprise You said, Ill never leave you alone. You said, I remember how we felt sitting by the water And every time I look at you, its like the first time I fell in love with a careless mans careful daughter She is the best thing thats ever been mine Oh You made a rebel of a careless mans careful daughter You are the best thing thats ever been mine Do you believe it? Were gonna make it now And I can see it I can see it now

Theres a monster in my closet and I dont know what to do! Have you ever seen him? Has he ever pounced on you? I wonder what he looks like! Is he purple with red eyes? I wonder what he likes to eat. What about his size!! Tonight Im gonna catch him! Ill set a real big trap! Then Ill train him really well. Hell answer when I clap! When I looked up in that closet, there was nothing there but stuff. I know that monsters in there! I heard him huff and puff! Could it be he wants to eat me? Maybe Im his favorite tray. And if he comes to get me, Ill scream loudly, Go away!! If hes nice, Ill name him Happy. If hes bad Ill name him Grouch. I suspect that he is leaving, but if not. . .Ill kick him out!
I want to thank the fans for the last 10 years, and the recording academy for giving us this unbelievable honor. I want to thank all of the collaborators that you see on this stage. Mostly, I want to thank my co-executive producer Max Martin, who has deserved to be up here for 25 years. And as the first woman to win album of the year at the Grammys twice, I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame. But if you just focus on the work and you dont let those people sidetrack you, someday when you get where youre going, you will know it was you and the people who love you who put you there, and that will be the greatest feeling in the world. Thank you for this moment.

Taylor: And then the flowers that you sent me, I Instagrammed a picture of them and its the most Instagram likes Ive ever gotten. Kanye: Relationships are more important than punchlines, you know. Taylor: Yea. I mean, I dont think anybody would listen to that and be like, Oh, thats a real diss. Like, she must be crying about… Taylor: You gotta tell the story the way that it happened to you and the way you experienced it. Like you honestly didnt know who I was before that. Taylor: It doesnt matter if I sold 7 million of that album before you did that, which is what happened. You didnt know who I was before that. Taylor: … that I can make these things happen and I have the ideas to do it and I create these things and concepts. And, like, Im always gonna respect you. Taylor: And Im really glad you had the respect to call me and tell me that as a friend, about the song. Its just a really cool thing to do, and a really good show of friendship. So thank you. Kanye: Thank you too. Taylor: And you know, if people ask me about it, I think it would be great for me to be like, Look, he called me and told me about the line before it came out. Like, jokes on you guys, were fine. Taylor: You guys wanna call this a feud, you wanna call this throwing shade. But right after the song comes out Im gonna be on a Grammy red carpet and theyre gonna ask me about it and Im gonna be like, he called me. Taylor: …awesome that youre so outspoken and its gonna be like, Yea, she does, it made her famous! Its more provocative to say, Might still have sex. Taylor: …its not. It doesnt matter to me. theres not one that hurts my feelings and one that doesnt.2020 LeakKanye: —old school s—, yeah. I’m doing great. I feel so awesome about the music. The album’s coming out Feb. 11. I’m doing the fashion show Feb. 11 at Madison Square Garden and dropping the album Feb. 12, that morning. It’s like …. yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Aw thank you so, so much. Thank you. It feels like, real. I don’t know, just ‘Ye, Apple, Steve Jobs-type music. Like, so my next single, I wanted you to tweet it … so that’s why I’m calling you. I wanted you to put the song out. Taylor: What would people … I guess it would just be, people would be like, “Why is this happening?” And I had something to do with it, probably. Kanye: The reason why it would happen is because it has a very controversial line at the beginning of the song about you. Taylor: What does it say? Kanye: It says, and the song is so, so dope, and I literally sat with my wife, with my whole manager team, with everything, and try to rework this line. I’ve thought about this line for eight months, I’ve had this line and tried to rework it every which way, and the original way that I thought about it is the best way, but it’s the most controversial, so it’s gonna go Eminem a little bit, so can you brace yourself for a second? Taylor: Yeah… Kanye: Okay, alright. It says—wait a second, you sound sad. Taylor: Well, is it gonna be mean? Kanye: No, I don’t think it’s mean. Taylor: Okay, then let me hear it. Kanye: Okay, um … and the funny thing is when I first played it and my wife heard it, she was like “Huh? What? That’s too crazy, blah, blah, blah.” And when Ninja from Die Antwoord heard it, he was like, “Oh God, this is the craziest sh—! This is why I love Kanye,” that kind of thing. It’s like my wife’s favorite f—ing line. I just wanted to give you some premise of that, right? Taylor: Okay. Kanye: So it says, “To all my Southside n— that know me best/ I feel like Taylor Swift might owe me sex.” Taylor: That’s not mean. Kanye: Okay. Yeah, well, this is the thing why I’m calling you because you got an army. You own a country of motherfucking two billion people, basically, that if you felt that it’s funny and cool and like hip hop and felt like, you know, just The College Dropout and the artist like, ‘Ye that you love, then I think that people would be like way into it, and that’s why I think it’s super genius to have you be the one that says, ‘Oh, I like this song a lot, like, yeah, whatever. This is cool. Whatever, it’s like, I got like s— on my album where I’m like, “I bet me and Ray J will be friends if we ain’t love the same bitch.” Taylor: Oh my . I mean, I need to think about it because you hear something for the first time, you need to think about it because it is absolutely crazy. I’m glad it’s not mean though. It doesn’t feel mean, but like, oh my God, the build-up you gave it. I thought it was gonna be like that stupid dumb bitch, like, but it’s not. Um, so I don’t know. I mean, the launch thing, I think it would be kind of confusing to people, but I definitely like, I definitely think that when I’m asked about, of course I’m gonna be like, “Yeah, I’m his biggest fan. I love that. I think it’s hilarious,” but um, I’ll think about it. Kanye: Yeah, you don’t have to do—you don’t have to do the launch and retweet. That’s just an extra idea that I had, like, but if you think that that’s cool, then that’s cool. If not, we are launching the shit like on just GOOD Fridays, on Soundcloud, the site, shit like that. Taylor: You know, the thing about me is like, anything that I do becomes a feminist think-piece, and if I launch it, they’re gonna be like, “Wow,” like this thing—like they’ll just turn it into something that … I think if I launch it, it honestly like, it’ll be less cool ‘cause I think if I launch it, it adds this level of criticism, ‘cause having that many followers and having that many eyeballs on me right now, people are just looking for me to do something dumb or stupid or lame, and it’s like almost … I dont know, like I kind of feel like people would try to make it negative if it came from me. Do you know what I mean? Kanye: Yeah. Taylor: I try to be super self-aware about where I am, and I feel like, I feel like right now I’m like this close to overexposure. Kanye: Oh, well, this one is uh, I think this is a really cool thing to have. Taylor: I know, it’s like a compliment, kind of . Kanye: I had this line where I said—and my wife really didn’t like this one because we tried to make it nicer. So I said, “To all my Southside n— that know me best/ I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex,” and my wife was really not with that one. She was way more into “She owes you sex,” but then the owe, the owe part was like the feminist group-type s— that I was like, “Ahhh.” Taylor: That’s the part that I’m kind of—I mean, they’re both really edgy, but that’s the only thing about that line is that it’s like gonna … Its just, the feminists are gonna come out, but I mean, you don’t give a fuck, so… Kanye: Yeah, basically. Well, what I give a fuck about is just you as a person and as a friend. I want things that make— Taylor: That’s sweet. Kanye: —you feel good. I don’t wanna do rap that makes people feel bad, like of course like I’m mad at Nike, so people think like, “Oh, he’s a bully. He ran on stage with Taylor. He’s bullying Nike now, this $50 billion company.” Taylor: Why are people saying you’re bullying Nike? Kanye: Because on “Facts” I said like, “Yeezy, Nike out here bad, they can’t give shit away.” Taylor: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, that’s just what you do though. Kanye: Taylor: I mean, I wouldn’t say that it’s like possible to bully a company like Nike where—I mean, um, yeah, I mean …
When I found old diaries from my childhood and my teens, they were covered in dust. Im not just saying that for poetic effect, they were truly dusty with pictures drawn of first day of school outfits and inspirational quotes I used to retrace over and over to get me through doubtful moments. Id practice my autograph and tape my guitar picks to the pages. In the entries, I daydreamed on paper and mused about who might ask who to the dance or how nervous I was saying the national anthem at the local baseball game. I frequently and drastically changed my opinions on love, friends, confidence and trust. I vented, described memories in detail, jotted down new song ideas and questioned why I would ever try to shoot for a career I had such a small chance of ever attaining. But what shocked me the most was how often I wrote down the things I loved. Writing a new song, riding in the car with my mom, the purple-pink skies of the soccer field on the walk home, the one night in middle school when none of my friends were fighting, the dazzle of opal necklaces I couldn’t afford gleaming from a department store jewelry case. I wrote about tiny details in my life in these diaries from a bygone age with such... wonderment. Intrigue. Romance. I noticed things and decided they were romantic, and so they were. In life, we grow up and we encounter the nuanced complexities of trying to figure out who to be, how to act, or how to be happy. Like invisible smoke in the room, we wonder what kind of anxiety pushes you forward and what kind ruins your ability to find joy in your life. We constantly question our choices, our surroundings, and we beat ourselves up for our mistakes. All the while, we crave romance. We long for those rare, enchanting moments when things just fall into place. Above all else, we really, really want our lives to be filled with love. Ive decided that in this life, I want to be defined by the things I love- not the things I hate, the things Im afraid of, or the things that haunt me in the middle of the night. Those things may be struggles, but theyre not my identity. I wish the same for you. May your struggles become inaudible background noise behind the loud, clergies voices of those who love and appreciate you. Turn those voices up in the mix in your head. May you take notice of the things in your life that are nice and make you feel safe and maybe even find wonderment in them. May you write down your feelings and reflect on them years later, only to learn all the trials and the tribulations you thought might kill you... didnt. I hope that someday you forget the pain ever existed. I hope that if there is a lover in your life, its someone who deserves you. If thats the case, I hope you treat them with care. This album is a love letter to love itself- all the captivating, spellbinding, maddening devastating red, blue, gray, golden aspects of it In honor of fever dreams, bad boys, confessions of love on a drunken night out, Christmas lights still hanging in January, guitar string scars on my hands, false gods and blind faith, memories of jumping into an icy outdoor pool, creaks in floorboards and ultraviolet morning light, finally finding a friend, and opening the curtains to see the clearest, brightest daylight after the darkest night. We are what we love. This is Lover.
So first of all, Im obsessed with, like, pretty much all of these tracks, and it was really hard to figure out like what I wanted to write first because I had thoughts for all of them, so, unbelievable archives, I cant believe you have this just, like, laying around, thats ... ridiculous, these are unbelievable. But anyway, the first one that I... I was working something up for is the Maple one? And I came up with this thing, and its probably gonna obviously like be sequencing differences like, you know, different lengths and different verses and whatever, but this is just like a rough, uh, thing.  Vintage tee, brand new phone High heels on cobblestones When you are young, they assume you know nothing Sequin smile, black lipstick Sensual politics When you are young, they assume you know nothing But I knew you Dancin in your Levis Drunk under a streetlight, I I knew you Hand under my sweatshirt Baby, kiss it better, I And when I felt like I was an old cardigan Under someones bed You put me on and said I was your favorite A friend to all is a friend to none Chase two girls, lose the one When you are young, they assume you know nothing But I knew you Living in a gold age Sneaking to my bird cage, I I knew you Laughing like a damn fool Breaking every damn rule, I And when I felt like I was an old cardigan Under someones bed You put me on and said I was your favorite And then, I have like this-- theres like a break, because I dont really know whats gonna happen here, but I do have like a... I think its here? Was where I was putting a-- a bridge thing.  And to kiss in cars and downtown bars Was all we needed You drew stars around my scars Now Im bleedin Im bleedin Well work on that and not make it bad. And then, um, theres all this time, but when the, like, kind of major chorus comes back in, I wait til then, and then, I start singing again. I dont think its right now, but... there it is. The ending.  Cause I knew you Steppin on the last train Marked me like a bloodstain, I I knew you Tried to change the ending Peter leaving Wendy, I I knew you Dancing in your Levis Drunk under a streetlight, I I knew you That when you are young, they assume you know nothing But I knew youd linger like a stolen kiss I knew youd haunt all of my what-ifs The smell of smoke would hang around this long Cause I knew everything when I was young I knew Id curse you for the longest time I knew Id wish you wouldve changed your mind I knew youd miss me once the moment died I knew to love would be to lose my mind And then, I dont know. You let me know what you think. And, uh, thats just kind of like a rough idea of... something. Let me know if you like it.
She walks to school With her arms crossed Its just another day At 10 o clock she hears this screaming Then finally she sees them Its scary how things change And I saw the story on the news I saw the footage from the roof I sat down and cried Didnt she call you Didnt she need you bad enough Was there some reason Im not aware of Did you not write it down Just one more thing to do Where were you And didnt she pray too He kissed his wife goodbye And took the earliest flight So he could be home that night To put his kids to sleep Down the aisle Three men walked and said Were here to die for our God He stood up and said thats funny Cause my God died for me I put the magazine down I read his words out loud I sat down and cried And didnt he call you Didnt he need you bad enough Was there some reason Im not aware of Did you not write it down Just one more thing to do Where were you And didnt he pray to oh The taxis pulled up On the very day of They rode 100 floors up Just to come back down They never thought theyd see the day That the towers up in flames There was nothing left to say When it all came down And didnt they call you Didnt they need you bad enough Was there some reason Im not aware of Did you not write it down Just one more thing to do Where were you Where were you And didnt they pray to Oh I walk to school And I wear a cross Im counting Every day
Once upon a time I believe it was a Tuesday when I caught your eye And we caught onto something I hold on to the night You looked me in the eye and told me you loved me Were you just kidding? Cause it seems to me This thing is breaking down, we almost never speak I dont feel welcome anymore What happened? Please, tell me Cause one second it was perfect Now youre halfway out the door And I stare at the phone, he still hasnt called And then you feel so low you cant feel nothing at all And you flashback to when he said, Forever and always And it rains in your bedroom Everything is wrong It rains when youre here and it rains when youre gone I was there when you said, Forever and always Was I out of line? Did I say something way too honest, made you run and hide Like a scared little boy? I looked into your eyes Thought I knew you for a minute, now Im not so sure So heres to everything coming down to nothing Heres to silence that cuts me to the core Where is this going? Thought I knew for a minute, but I dont anymore And I stare at the phone, he still hasnt called And then you feel so low you cant feel nothing at all You flashback to when he said, Forever and always Oh, and it rains in your bedroom Everything is wrong It rains when youre here and it rains when youre gone I was there when you said, Forever and always You didnt mean it baby, I dont think so Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Back up, baby, back up Did you forget everythi-i-ing?

I don’t think that passenger seat Has ever looked this good to me He tells me about his night And I count the colors in his eyes He’ll never fall in love, he swears As he runs his fingers through his hair I’m laughing cause I hope hes wrong And I dont think it ever crossed his mind He tells a joke, I fake a smile But I know all his favorite songs And I could tell you his favorite colors green He loves to argue, born on the seventeenth His sisters beautiful, he has his fathers eyes And if you asked me if I love him I’d lie He looks around the room Innocently overlooks the truth Shouldnt a light go on? Doesn’t he know that Ive had him memorized for so long? He sees everything in black and white Never let nobody see him cry I dont let nobody see me wishin he was mine I could tell you his favorite colors green He loves to argue, born on the seventeenth His sisters beautiful, he has his fathers eyes And if you asked me if I love him Id lie He stands there, then walks away My God, if I could only say Im holding every breath for you Hed never tell you, but he can play guitar I think he can see through everything but my heart First thought when I wake up Is, “My God, he’s beautiful” So I put on my makeup And pray for a miracle Yes, I could tell you his favorite colors green He loves to argue, oh, and it kills me His sisters beautiful, he has his fathers eyes And if you asked me if I love him If you asked me if I love him I’d lie
I said remember this moment, in the back of my mind The time we stood with our shaking hands The crowds in the stands went wild We were the Kings and the Queens And they read off our names The night you danced like you knew our lives Would never be the same You held your head like a hero On a history book page It was the end of a decade But the start of an age Long live the walls we crashed through All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you I was screaming long live all the magic we made And bring on all the pretenders One day, we will be remembered Long live all the mountains we moved I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you I was screaming long live that look on your face And bring on all the pretenders One day, we will be remembered Hold on to spinning around Confetti falls to the ground May these memories break our fall And hold on... To spinning around... Confetti... Falls to the ground... Theres glitter on the floor after the party Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor You and me from the night before, but Dont read the last page But I stay when youre lost, and Im scared And youre turning away I want your midnights But Ill be cleaning up bottles with you on New Years Day You squeeze my hand three times in the back of the taxi I can tell that its gonna be a long road Ill be there if youre the toast of the town, babe Or if you strike out and youre crawling home Dont read the last page But I stay when its hard, or its wrong Or were making mistakes I want your midnights But Ill be cleaning up bottles with you on New Years Day Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you And I will hold on to you Please dont ever become a stranger Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere Please dont ever become a stranger Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere Theres glitter on the floor after the party Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor You and me forevermore Dont read the last page But I stay when youre lost, and Im scared And youre turning away I want your midnights But Ill be cleaning up bottles with you on New Years Day Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you And Long live The walls we crashed through I had the time of my life With you And Long live The walls we crashed through I had the time of my life With you

Emily comes home from school Grabs onto her daddys hand He says Baby girl, whats wrong with you? She says Please dont make me go back there again She said I wish there was some way to make them stop it So he drives down to that principals office and says I didnt bring her up so they could cut her down I didnt bring her here so they could shut her out I live my whole damn life to see that little girls smile So why are tears pouring down that sweet face? She wasnt brought up that way Emilys home late again He sees that boy drive away Oh, but somethings different this time She doesnt have too much to say She said He tried but theres just some things I wont do And through the tears she said I couldnt do that to you And he said I didnt bring you up so he could wear you down Take that innocent heart and turn it inside out I live my whole damn life to see my little girls smile So dont let nobody take that away You werent brought up that way The phone rings on a rainy night, says Its Officer Tate He said Sir, theres been an accident You better come down here right away A drunken driver missed an overpass And Emily, shes fading fast He says God, I didnt bring her up to watch them lay her down Nearly killed me the day they put her own momma in the ground Only thing that kept me alive was that little girls smile So please dont take that away, it wont be easy taking her today She wasnt brought up that way He stands over the hospital bed Emily opens her eyes
It started with imagery. Visuals that popped into my mind and piqued my curiosity Stars drawn around scars. A cardigan that still bears the scent of loss twenty years later. Battleships sinking into the ocean, down, down, down. The tree swing in the woods of my childhood. Hushed tones of lets run away and never doing it. The sun drenched month of August, sipped away like a bottle of wine. A mirrored disco ball hovering above a dance floor. A whiskey bottle beckoning. Hands held through plastic. A single thread that, for better or for worse, ties you to your fate Pretty soon these images in my head grew faces or names and became characters. I found myself not only writing my own stories, but also writing about or from the perspective of people Ive never met, people Ive known, or those I wish I hadnt. An exiled man walking the bluffs of a land that isnt his own, wondering how it all went so terribly, terribly wrong. An embittered tormentor showing up at the funeral of his fallen object of obsession. A seventeen-year-old standing on a porch, learning to apologize. Lovestruck kids wandering up and down the evergreen High Line. My grandfather, Dean, landing at Guadalcanal in 1942. A misfit widow getting gleeful revenge on the town that cast her out A tale that becomes folklore is one that is passed down and whispered around. Sometimes even sung about. The lines between fantasy and reality blur and the boundaries between truth and diction become almost indiscernible. Speculation, over time, becomes fact. Myths, ghost stories, and fables. Fairytales and parables. Gossip and legend. Someones secrets written in the sky for all to behold In isolation my imagination has run wild and this album is the result, a collection of songs and stories that flowed like a stream of consciousness. Picking up a pen was my way of escaping into fantasy, history, and memory. Ive told these stories to the best of my ability with all the love, wonder, and whimsy they deserve Now its up to you to pass them down
I’m getting older and less sure of what you like about me anyway How can a person know everything at 18 and nothing at 22? And will you still want me when I’m nothing new?

Im walking fast through the traffic lights Busy streets and busy lives And all we know is touch and go We are alone with our changing minds We fall in love till it hurts or bleeds, or fades in time And I never saw you coming And I’ll never be the same You come around and the armor falls Pierce the room like a cannon ball Now all we know, is don’t let go We are alone just you and me Up in your room and our slates are clean Just twin fire signs, four blue eyes So you were never a saint And Ive loved in shades of wrong We learn to live with the pain Mosaic broken hearts But this love is brave and wild And I never saw you coming And I’ll never be the same This is a state of grace This is the worthwhile fight Love is a ruthless game Unless you play it good and right These are the hands of fate You’re my Achilles heel This is the golden age of something good And right and real And I never saw you coming And I’ll never be the same And I never saw you coming And I’ll never be the same This is a state of grace This is a worthwhile fight Love is a ruthless game Unless you play it good and right

Let go of the ones who hurt you Let go of the ones you outgrow Let go of the words they hurl your way as you’re walking out the door The only thing cut and dry In this hedge-maze life Is the fact that their words will cut but your tears will dry They don’t tell you this when you are young You can’t hold on to everything Can’t show up for everyone You pick your poison Or your cure Phone numbers you know by heart And the ones you don’t answer any more Hold on to the faint recognition in the eye of a stranger As it catches you in its lustrous net How quickly we become intertwined How wonderful it is to forget All the times your intuition failed you But it hasn’t killed you yet Hold on to childlike whims and moonlight swims and your blazing self-respect And if you drive the roads of this town Ones you’ve gone down so many times before Flashback to all the times Life nearly ran you off the road But tonight your hand is steady Suddenly you’ll know The trick to holding on Was all that letting go
Ooh baby give me one more chance Oh won’t you please let me Back in your heart?

Oh darling I was blind to let you go Now that I see you in her arms I want you back I want you back Ooh-ooh baby
I got a little thing I call self control Cause I get a little crazy When I let too much go Love’s a little messy and you are too Right now I’m scared of both of you I laugh and I play and I wasn’t gonna stray Swore I’d never let a man in my way You’re the last thing I needed today And I don’t know Where I lost control And couldn’t take it any longer Must have been somewhere between Your smile and the way you say my name I can’t win so I give in The more I fight it just get’s stronger You’re an inconvenient kind of satisfaction Welcome distraction, welcome distraction Gone and spilled my coffee Tryna get to the phone Cause it might be you You just never know Can’t talk to my friends Without you coming up It’s even kind of cute The way you cuss I wrote your name down A hundred thousand times Cause it looks so good Right next to mine You’re the last thing I needed tonight And I don’t know Where I lost control And couldn’t take it any longer Must have been somewhere between Your smile and the way you say my name I can’t win so I give in The more I fight it just get’s stronger You’re an inconvenient kind of satisfaction Welcome distraction, welcome distraction I’m acting like a girl With nothing to lose When did I stop caring About anything but you And I don’t know Where I lost control And couldn’t take it any longer Must have been somewhere between Your smile and the way you say my name I can’t win so I give in The more I fight it just get’s stronger You’re an inconvenient kind of satisfaction Welcome distraction, welcome distraction

According to my birth certificate, I turn 30 this year. Its weird because part of me still feels 18 and part of me feels 283, but the actual age I currently am is 29. Ive heard people say that your thirties are the most fun! So Ill definitely keep you posted on my findings on that when I know. But until then, I thought Id share some lessons Ive learned before reaching 30, because its 2019 and sharing is caring. Lesson 1 I learned to block some of the noise. Social media can be great, but it can also inundate your brain with images of what you aren’t, how you’re failing, or who is in a cooler locale than you at any given moment. One thing I do to lessen this weird insecurity laser beam is to turn off comments. Yes, I keep comments off on my posts. That way, I’m showing my friends and fans updates on my life, but I’m training my brain to not need the validation of someone telling me that I look 🔥🔥🔥. I’m also blocking out anyone who might feel the need to tell me to “go die in a hole ho” while I’m having my coffee at nine in the morning. I think it’s healthy for your self-esteem to need less internet praise to appease it, especially when three comments down you could unwittingly see someone telling you that you look like a weasel that got hit by a truck and stitched back together by a drunk taxidermist. An actual comment I received once. Lesson 2 Being sweet to everyone all the time can get you into a lot of trouble. While it may be born from having been raised to be a polite young lady, this can contribute to some of your life’s worst regrets if someone takes advantage of this trait in you. Grow a backbone, trust your gut, and know when to strike back. Be like a snake—only bite if someone steps on you. Lesson 3 Trying and failing and trying again and failing again is normal. It may not feel normal to me because all of my trials and failures are blown out of proportion and turned into a spectator sport by tabloid takedown culture . BUT THAT SAID, it’s good to mess up and learn from it and take risks. It’s especially good to do this in your twenties because we are searching. That’s GOOD. We’ll always be searching but never as intensely as when our brains are still developing at such a rapid pace. No, this is not an excuse to text your ex right now. That’s not what I said. Or do it, whatever, maybe you’ll learn from it. Then you’ll probably forget what you learned and do it again.... But it’s fine; do you, you’re searching. Lesson 4 I learned to stop hating every ounce of fat on my body. I worked hard to retrain my brain that a little extra weight means curves, shinier hair, and more energy. I think a lot of us push the boundaries of dieting, but taking it too far can be really dangerous. There is no quick fix. I work on accepting my body every day. Lesson 5 Banish the drama. You only have so much room in your life and so much energy to give to those in it. Be discerning. If someone in your life is hurting you, draining you, or causing you pain in a way that feels unresolvable, blocking their number isn’t cruel. It’s just a simple setting on your phone that will eliminate drama if you so choose to use it. Lesson 6 I’ve learned that society is constantly sending very loud messages to women that exhibiting the physical signs of aging is the worst thing that can happen to us. These messages tell women that we aren’t allowed to age. It’s an impossible standard to meet, and I’ve been loving how outspoken Jameela Jamil has been on this subject. Reading her words feels like hearing a voice of reason amongst all these loud messages out there telling women we’re supposed to defy gravity, time, and everything natural in order to achieve this bizarre goal of everlasting youth that isn’t even remotely required of men. Lesson 7 My biggest fear. After the Manchester Arena bombing and the Vegas concert shooting, I was completely terrified to go on tour this time because I didn’t know how we were going to keep 3 million fans safe over seven months. There was a tremendous amount of planning, expense, and effort put into keeping my fans safe. My fear of violence has continued into my personal life. I carry QuikClot army grade bandage dressing, which is for gunshot or stab wounds. Websites and tabloids have taken it upon themselves to post every home address I’ve ever had online. You get enough stalkers trying to break into your house and you kind of start prepping for bad things. Every day I try to remind myself of the good in the world, the love I’ve witnessed and the faith I have in humanity. We have to live bravely in order to truly feel alive, and that means not being ruled by our greatest fears. Lesson 8 I learned not to let outside opinions establish the value I place on my own life choices. For too long, the projected opinions of strangers affected how I viewed my relationships. Whether it was the general internet consensus of who would be right for me, or what they thought was “couples goals” based on a picture I posted on Instagram. That stuff isn’t real. For an approval seeker like me, it was an important lesson for me to learn to have my OWN value system of what I actually want. Lesson 9 I learned how to make some easy cocktails like Pimm’s cups, Aperol spritzes, Old-Fashioneds, and Mojitos because…2016. Lesson 10 I’ve always cooked a LOT, but I found three recipes I know I’ll be making at dinner parties for life: Ina Garten’s Real Meatballs and Spaghetti , Nigella Lawson’s Mughlai Chicken, and Jamie Oliver’s Chicken Fajitas with Molé Sauce. Getting a garlic crusher is a whole game changer. I also learned how to immediately calculate Celsius to Fahrenheit in my head. Lesson 11 Recently I discovered Command tape, and I definitely would have fewer holes in my walls if I’d hung things that way all along. This is not an ad. I just really love Command tape. Lesson 12 Apologizing when you have hurt someone who really matters to you takes nothing away from you. Even if it was unintentional, it’s so easy to just apologize and move on. Try not to say “I’m sorry, but...” and make excuses for yourself. Learn how to make a sincere apology, and you can avoid breaking down the trust in your friendships and relationships. Lesson 13 It’s my opinion that in cases of sexual assault, I believe the victim. Coming forward is an agonizing thing to go through. I know because my sexual assault trial was a demoralizing, awful experience. I believe victims because I know firsthand about the shame and stigma that comes with raising your hand and saying “This happened to me.” It’s something no one would choose for themselves. We speak up because we have to, and out of fear that it could happen to someone else if we don’t. Lesson 14 When tragedy strikes someone you know in a way you’ve never dealt with before, it’s okay to say that you don’t know what to say. Sometimes just saying you’re so sorry is all someone wants to hear. It’s okay to not have any helpful advice to give them; you don’t have all the answers. However, it’s not okay to disappear from their life in their darkest hour. Your support is all someone needs when they’re at their lowest point. Even if you can’t really help the situation, it’s nice for them to know that you would if you could. Lesson 15 Vitamins make me feel so much better! I take L-theanine, which is a natural supplement to help with stress and anxiety. I also take magnesium for muscle health and energy. Lesson 16 Before you jump in headfirst, maybe, I don’t know...get to know someone! All that glitters isn’t gold, and first impressions actually aren’t everything. It’s impressive when someone can charm people instantly and own the room, but what I know now to be more valuable about a person is not their charming routine upon meeting them , but the layers of a person you discover in time. Are they honest, self-aware, and slyly funny at the moments you least expect it? Do they show up for you when you need them? Do they still love you after they’ve seen you broken? Or after they’ve walked in on you having a full conversation with your cats as if they’re people? These are things a first impression could never convey. Lesson 17 After my teen years and early twenties of sleeping in my makeup and occasionally using a Sharpie as eyeliner , I felt like I needed to start being nicer to my skin. I now moisturize my face every night and put on body lotion after I shower, not just in the winter, but all year round, because, why can’t I be soft during all the seasons?! Lesson 18 Realizing childhood scars and working on rectifying them. For example, never being popular as a kid was always an insecurity for me. Even as an adult, I still have recurring flashbacks of sitting at lunch tables alone or hiding in a bathroom stall, or trying to make a new friend and being laughed at. In my twenties I found myself surrounded by girls who wanted to be my friend. So I shouted it from the rooftops, posted pictures, and celebrated my newfound acceptance into a sisterhood, without realizing that other people might still feel the way I did when I felt so alone. It’s important to address our long-standing issues before we turn into the living embodiment of them. Lesson 19 Playing mind games is for the chase. In a real relationship or friendship, you’re shooting yourself in the foot if you don’t tell the other person how you feel, and what could be done to fix it. No one is a mind reader. If someone really loves you, they want you to verbalize how you feel. This is real life, not chess. Lesson 20 Learning the difference between lifelong friendships and situationships. Something about “we’re in our young twenties!” hurls people together into groups that can feel like your chosen family. And maybe they will be for the rest of your life. Or maybe they’ll just be your comrades for an important phase, but not forever. It’s sad but sometimes when you grow, you outgrow relationships. You may leave behind friendships along the way, but you’ll always keep the memories. Lesson 21 Fashion is all about playful experimentation. If you don’t look back at pictures of some of your old looks and cringe, you’re doing it wrong. See: Bleachella. Lesson 22 How to fight fair with the ones you love. Chances are you’re not trying to hurt the person you love and they aren’t trying to hurt you. If you can wind the tension of an argument down to a conversation about where the other person is coming from, there’s a greater chance you can remove the shame of losing a fight for one of you and the ego boost of the one who “won” the fight. I know a couple who, in the thick of a fight, say “Hey, same team.” Find a way to defuse the anger that can spiral out of control and make you lose sight of the good things you two have built. They don’t give out awards for winning the most fights in your relationship. They just give out divorce papers. Lesson 23 I learned that I have friends and fans in my life who don’t care if I’m #canceled. They were there in the worst times and they’re here now. The fans and their care for me, my well-being, and my music were the ones who pulled me through. The most emotional part of the Reputation Stadium Tour for me was knowing I was looking out at the faces of the people who helped me get back up. I’ll never forget the ones who stuck around. Lesson 24 I’ve had to learn how to handle serious illness in my family. Both of my parents have had cancer, and my mom is now fighting her battle with it again. It’s taught me that there are real problems and then there’s everything else. My mom’s cancer is a real problem. I used to be so anxious about daily ups and downs. I give all of my worry, stress, and prayers to real problems now. Lesson 25 I remember people asking me, “What are you gonna write about if you ever get happy?” There’s a common misconception that artists have to be miserable in order to make good art, that art and suffering go hand in hand. I’m really grateful to have learned this isn’t true. Finding happiness and inspiration at the same time has been really cool. Lesson 26 I make countdowns for things I’m excited about. When I’ve gone through dark, low times, I’ve always found a tiny bit of relief and hope in getting a countdown app and adding things I’m looking forward to. Even if they’re not big holidays or anything, it’s good to look toward the future. Sometimes we can get overwhelmed in the now, and it’s good to get some perspective that life will always go on, to better things. Lesson 27 I learned that disarming someone’s petty bullying can be as simple as learning to laugh. In my experience, I’ve come to see that bullies want to be feared and taken seriously. A few years ago, someone started an online hate campaign by calling me a snake on the internet. The fact that so many people jumped on board with it led me to feeling lower than I’ve ever felt in my life, but I can’t tell you how hard I had to keep from laughing every time my 63-foot inflatable cobra named Karyn appeared onstage in front of 60,000 screaming fans. It’s the Stadium Tour equivalent of responding to a troll’s hateful Instagram comment with “lol.” It would be nice if we could get an apology from people who bully us, but maybe all I’ll ever get is the satisfaction of knowing I could survive it, and thrive in spite of it. Lesson 28 I’m finding my voice in terms of politics. I took a lot of time educating myself on the political system and the branches of government that are signing off on bills that affect our day-to-day life. I saw so many issues that put our most vulnerable citizens at risk, and felt like I had to speak up to try and help make a change. Only as someone approaching 30 did I feel informed enough to speak about it to my 114 million followers. Invoking racism and provoking fear through thinly veiled messaging is not what I want from our leaders, and I realized that it actually is my responsibility to use my influence against that disgusting rhetoric. I’m going to do more to help. We have a big race coming up next year. Lesson 29 I learned that your hair can completely change texture. From birth, I had the curliest hair and now it is STRAIGHT. It’s the straight hair I wished for every day in junior high. But just as I was coming to terms with loving my curls, they’ve left me. Please pray for their safe return. Lesson 30 My mom always tells me that when I was a little kid, she never had to punish me for misbehaving because I would punish myself even worse. I’d lock myself in my room and couldn’t forgive myself, as a five-year-old. I realized that I do the same thing now when I feel I’ve made a mistake, whether it’s self-imposed exile or silencing myself and isolating. I’ve come to a realization that I need to be able to forgive myself for making the wrong choice, trusting the wrong person, or figuratively falling on my face in front of everyone. Step into the daylight and let it go.
Oh whoa Oh whoa Oh whoa You know you love me, I know you care Just shout whenever and I’ll be there You are my love, you are my heart And we will never, ever, ever be apart Are we an item? Girl, quit playing We’re just friends, what are you saying?

Put your lips close to mine As long as they don’t touch Out of focus, eye to eye Till the gravity’s too much And I’ll do anything you say If you say it with your hands And I’d be smart to walk away But you’re quicksand This slope is treacherous This path is reckless This slope is treacherous And I, I, I, like it I can’t decide if it’s a choice Getting swept away I hear the sound of my own voice Asking you to stay And all we are is skin and bone Trained to get along Forever going with the flow But you’re friction This slope is treacherous This path is reckless This slope is treacherous I, I, I, like it Two headlights shine through the sleepless night And I will get you, get you alone Your name has echoed through my mind And I just think you should Think you should know That nothing safe is worth the drive And I would follow you, follow you home I’ll follow you, follow you home This hope is treacherous This daydream is dangerous This hope is treacherous I, I, I I, I, I I, I, I Two headlights shine through the sleepless night And I will get you, get you alone Your name has echoed through my mind And I just think you should Think you should know That nothing safe is worth the drive And I would follow you, follow you home I’ll follow you, follow you home I’ll follow you, follow you home I’ll follow you, follow you home I’ll follow you, follow you home This slope is treacherous I, I, I, like it
