One of the TTPD gems

The piano, the theme, the lyrics, the melody

The verses contain some of her best writing. It's like evermore on steroids. And the way the universe always gives her a random reward, in this case Peter also doubling as a verb for something slowly dying down, perfectly matching the subject and theme of the song

God, her pen was OUT!

Mark my words, this is getting viral treatment one day.

And I won't confess that I waited, but I let the lamp burn as the men masqueraded, I hoped you'd return with your feet on the ground, tell me all that you'd learned 'cause love's never lost when perspective is earned and you said you'd come and get me, but you were 25 and the shelf life of those fantasies has expired, lost to the Lost Boys chapter of your life. Forgive me, Peter, please know that I tried to hold on to the days when you were mine, but the woman who sits by the window has turned out the light.

A masterpiece of songwriting.

One of Her last truly great songs We used eat so well.

Definitely one of my favourites on the album, that bridge my god

this was my favorite track, along with the black dog, when the album came out. I didn't understand why it was like the least streamed song in the album

I was JUST quoting this song to my bf today and he agreed that that's poetry! And he is NOT a Taylor kind of guy lol

whewwwww her PEN! I'll die on the hill that TTPD is indeed her best album and will truly only be appreciated in like … 10 years time

This song hurts. However, it's beautiful and is one of the best tracks from The Tortured Poets Department album.

A crack laced masterpiece

ttpd is such a temu evermore

Cant wait for TTPD revival in 10 years so people would slowly discover all the gem in it.

And this song is one of those. So hauntingly beautiful. A poetry masterpiece with super smooth melody
