Forever Winter (Taylor's Version) [From The Vault]

He says he doesn't believe anything much he hears these days

He says, "Why fall in love? Just so you can watch it go away"

He spends most of his nights wishing it was how it used to be

He spends most of his flights getting pulled down by gravity

I call, just checking up on him

He's up, 3 a.m., pacing

He says, "It's not just a phase I'm in"

My voice comes out begging

All this time I didn't know

You were breaking down

I'd fall to pieces on the floor

If you weren't around

Too young to know it gets better

I'll be summer sun for you forever

Forever winter if you go, oh-oh, uh-uh-oh

He seems fine most of the time, forcing smiles, and never minds

His laugh is a symphony, when the lights go out, it's hard to breathe

I pull at every thread, trying to solve the puzzles in his head

Live my life scared to death, he'll decide to leave instead

I call, just checking upon him

He's up, 5 a.m., wasted

Long gone, not even listening

My voice comes out screaming

All this time I didn't know

You were breaking down

I'd fall to pieces on the floor

If you weren't around

Too young to know it gets better

I'll be summer sun for you forever

Forever winter if you go, oh-oh, uh-uh-oh

If I was standing there in your apartment

I'd take that bomb in your head and disarm it

I'd say "I love you" even at your darkest

And please don't go, uh-oh

I didn't know you were breaking down

I'd fall to pieces on the floor

If you weren't around

Too young to know it gets better

I'll be summer sun for you forever

Forever winter if you go, uh-uh-oh

I'll be your summer sun forever

At 3 a.m. pacing

All this time I didn't know

At 5 a.m. wasted

I'd be in pieces on the floor

Forever winter if you go, oh-oh

He says he doesn't believe anything much he hears these days

I say, "Believe in one thing, I won't go away"
