Songfic: Perfectly Good Heart- Taylor Swift
'Maybe I should've seen the signs, should've read the writing on the wall'
She should have seen it coming.
If she had looked past the façade of sweetness, kindness, love, maybe she would have seen his true colours.
Cause no matter how hard she tried to believe that HE was a really good actor, she couldn't convince herself.
'And realized by the distance in your eyes, that I would be the one to fall
After all, who would ever want her?
Plain old her. No-one would ever want her.
But still, something didn't add up to her mind.
No matter what you say, I still can't believe
That you would walk away.
It don't make sense to me,
Why did HE fool around with her for so long?
Did he enjoy rubbing salt in the wound?
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?
Why did HE break her heart and leave her lying on the ground?
She didn't know the answer. She supposed she never would.
She wrote home, wanted to drop out then and there to avoid HIM for the rest of the year but Gran convinced her to stay until the end of year.
It was lucky she did really.
'Its not unbroken anymore, how do I get it back the way it was before?'
The new boy arrived.
Helped fix the shattered remains of her heart. Put the light back in her eyes.
Everyone said they were a perfect match, two fish out of water, but the fact they were out of water didn't matter.
They had each other and that made the homesickness go away.
But still, HE taunted her.
'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, and why would you wanna break, a perfectly good heart'
But together, they overcome the teasing from HIM and when the end of the year came round, she didn't want to leave anymore.
Because she was Nina Martin, and she had Eddie by her side.
And stood in the background, wishing he'd never broken her heart, never made the scars, was HIM, Fabian Rutter.
And he'd never regretted anything as much as he regretted giving up Nina.
'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, and why would you wanna break, a perfectly good heart'
Now she had a perfectly good boyfriend, who put together her heart, who kissed every scar and told her how beautiful she was.
Yes, Eddie had a perfectly good heart.
And Fabian didn't.
