The Story Of Us (Taylor's Version)

I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us

How we met, and the sparks flew instantly

People would say they're the lucky ones

I used to know my place was a spot next to you

Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat

'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on

Oh, a simple complication

Miscommunications lead to fall out

So many things that I wish you knew

So many walls up, I can't break through

Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room

And we're not speaking

And I'm dying to know

Is it killing you like it's killing me? Yeah

I don't know what to say

Since a twist of fate, when it all broke down

And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

(Next chapter)

How'd we end up this way?

See me nervously pulling at my clothes and trying to look busy

And you're doing your best to avoid me

I'm starting to think, one day, I'll tell the story of us

How I was losing my mind when I saw you here

But you held your pride like you should've held me

Oh, I'm scared to see the ending

Why are we pretending this is nothing?

I'd tell you I miss you, but I don't know how

I never heard silence quite this loud

Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room

And we're not speaking

And I'm dying to know

Is it killing you like it's killing me? Yeah

I don't know what to say

Since a twist of fate, when it all broke down

And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

This is looking like a contest

Of who can act like they care less

But I liked it better when you were on my side

The battle's in your hands now

But I would lay my armor down

If you say you'd rather love than fight

So many things that you wish I knew

But the story of us might be ending soon

Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room

And we're not speaking

And I'm dying to know

Is it killing you like it's killing me? Yeah

But I don't know what to say

Since a twist of fate, when it all broke down

And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now

And we're not speaking

And I'm dying to know

Is it killing you like it's killing me? Yeah

I don't know what to say

Since a twist of fate, 'cause we're going down

And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
