Blank Space Lyrics by Taylor Swift
Verse 1
Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
“Oh, my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love’s a game, wanna play?” Ayy
New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain’t it funny? Rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So, hey, let’s be friends
I’m dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend
Chorus
So it’s gonna be forever
Or it’s gonna go down in flames?
You can tell me when it’s over, mm
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They’ll tell you I’m insane
‘Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
‘Cause we’re young and we’re reckless
We’ll take this way too far
It’ll leave you breathless, mm
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They’ll tell you I’m insane
But I’ve got a blank space, baby
And I’ll write your name
Verse 2
Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You’re the king, baby, I’m your queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh, no
Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing, like
“Oh, my God, who is she?”
I get drunk on jealousy
But you’ll come back each time you leave
‘Cause, darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream
Chorus
So it’s gonna be forever
Or it’s gonna go down in flames?
You can tell me when it’s over, mm
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They’ll tell you I’m insane
‘Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
‘Cause we’re young and we’re reckless (Oh)
We’ll take this way too far
It’ll leave you breathless (Oh-oh), mm
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They’ll tell you I’m insane (Insane)
But I’ve got a blank space, baby
And I’ll write your name
Bridge
Boys only want love if it’s torture
Don’t say I didn’t, say I didn’t warn ya
Boys only want love if it’s torture
Don’t say I didn’t, say I didn’t warn ya
Chorus
So it’s gonna be forever
Or it’s gonna go down in flames?
You can tell me when it’s over (Over), mm
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They’ll tell you I’m insane (I’m insane)
‘Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game (And you love the game)
‘Cause we’re young and we’re reckless (Yeah)
We’ll take this way too far (Ooh)
It’ll leave you breathless, mm
Or with a nasty scar (With a nasty scar)
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They’ll tell you I’m insane
But I’ve got a blank space, baby
And I’ll write your name
