Lyrics of So, Long London by Taylor Swift

Intro

So (So) long (Long), London (London)
So (So) long (Long), London (London)
So (So) long (Long), London (London)

Verse 1

I saw in my mind fairy lights through the mist
I kept calm and carried the weight of the rift
Pulled him in tighter each time he was driftin’ away
My spine split from carrying us up the hill
Wet through my clothes, weary bones caught the chill
I stopped tryna make him laugh, stopped tryna drill the safe

Chorus

Thinkin’, “How much sad did you think I had
Did you think I had in me?”
Oh, the tragedy
So long, London
You’ll find someone

Verse 2

I didn’t opt in to be your odd man out
I founded the club she’s heard great things about
I left all I knew, you left me at the house by the Heath
I stoppеd CPR, after all, it’s no use
The spirit was gonе, we would never come to
And I’m pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free

Chorus

For so long, London
Stitches undone
Two graves, one gun
I’ll find someone

Bridge

And you say I abandoned the ship
But I was going down with it
My white-knuckle dying grip
Holding tight to your quiet resentment
And my friends said it isn’t right to be scared
Every day of a love affair
Every breath feels like rarest air
When you’re not sure if he wants to be there

Chorus

So how much sad did you think I had
Did you think I had in me?
How much tragedy?
Just how low did you
Think I’d go ‘fore I’d self-implode?
‘Fore I’d have to go be free?

Verse 3

You swore that you loved me, but where were the clues?
I died on the altar waitin’ for the proof
You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days
And I’m just getting color back into my face
I’m just mad as hell ’cause I loved this place for

Chorus

So (So) long (Long), London (London)
Had (Had) a (A) good (Good) run (Run)
A moment (Moment) of warm sun (Sun)
But I’m (I’m) not (Not) the (The) one (One)
So (So) long (Long), London (London)
Stitches (Stitches) undone (Undone)
Two (Two) graves (Graves) one gun (Gun)
You’ll (You’ll) find (Find) someone
