I'm holdin' on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground.
And I'm hearin' what you say,
But I just can't make a sound.
You tell me that you need me,
Then you go and cut me down.
But wait.
You tell me that you're sorry,
Didn't think I'd turn around.
And say.
That it's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
I said it's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
Too late, oh uh1
I'd take another chance,
Take a fall, take a shot for you.
I need you like a heart needs a beat,
But it's nothin' new, yeah!
I loved you with a fire red,
Now it's turnin' blue.
And you say.
Sorry, like an angel
Heaven let me think was you.
But I'm afraid.
It's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
I said it's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
Whoa! It's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
I said it's too late to apologize.
It's too late. You don't have to call anymore
I won't pick up the phone
This is the last straw
Don't wanna hurt anymore
And you can tell me that you're sorry
But I don't believe you baby
Like I did before
You're not sorry, no no, no no
I finally stopped singing and smiled out at the cheering crowd in front of me. Who am I you might ask?
Well I am Isabella Marie Swan, better known as Taylor Swift, Tay Tay or Tswift to my fans. I got back to songwriting a month after he left me. 3 weeks before I found out that I was pregnant with Renesmee I poured all my fears, confusion and most of all, anger into my music. A year after Renemee was born, I went on my Speak Now world tour.
I realised that I had zoned out for a little too long so I snapped myself back into reality.
"Okay so everyone, this is the song that all of you tweeted to me about, saying it described your heartbreak perfectly. This is 'Haunted'!"
I started playing the opening chords to the song
"You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I'd live to see it break
It's getting dark and it's all too quiet
And I can't trust anything now
And it's coming over you like it's all a big mistake
Oh, I'm holding my breath
Won't lose you again
Something's made your eyes go cold
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
You're all I wanted
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't turn back now, I'm haunted
Stood there and watched you walk away
From everything we had
But I still mean every word I said to you
He will try to take away my pain
And he just might make me smile
But the whole time I'm wishing he was you instead
Oh, I'm holding my breath
Won't see you again
Something keeps me holding on to nothing
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
You're all I wanted
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't turn back now, I'm haunted
I know, I know, I just know
You're not gone. You can't be gone. No.
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
Won't finish what you started
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't go back, I'm haunted
Oh
You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
Never ever thought I'd see it break.
Never thought I'd see it..."
I finished singing and took a bow, not bothering to blink back the venom in my eyes since they would never fall anyway. The concert was almost over and the next song was going to be the last on the set list.
"Okay everybody this song is going to be the last one tonight so I hope you all enjoy it. Now, make some noise for 'I'd lie'!"I shouted out at the crowd while nodding at Felix and Jane to start playing their instruments.
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 he's wrong
And I don't 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 color's green
He loves to argue, born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful, he has his father's eyes
And if you asked me if I love him,
I'd lie
He looks around the room
Innocently overlooks the truth
Shouldn't a light go on?
Doesn't he know that I've had him memorized for so long?
He sees everything black and white
Never let nobody see him cry
I don't let nobody see me wishing he was mine
He stands there, then walks away
My god if I could only say,
"I'm holding every breath for you..."
He'd 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 make-up
And pray for a miracle
Yes, I could tell you his favorite color's green
He loves to argue, oh, and it kills me
His sister's beautiful, he has his father's eyes
And if you asked me if I love him
If you asked me if I love him
I'd lie
After finishing the song, I laughed exultantly. This was the last day of touring for my newest album 'Speak Now'. My family and I were moving back to Forks tomorrow. I stood on the stage with my hands pumped up in the air and a goofy grin on my face, savouring the moment.
Tomorrow – I have to return to Forks. The thought was bittersweet. I was glad that moving back would make Renesmee. I was also kind of glad that I could see where my life truly was lived. The only thing that soured the prospect of moving back was Forks was where my heart got broken. Not just broken. To this day, it still felt like my heart got tore out of my chest, stamped on, cut into pieces and thrown into a blender.
I sighed, walking off the stage into my dressing room to change into more comfortable clothes and talk to Renesmee.
