The Story Of Us by Taylor Swift
I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
And people would say they're the lucky ones
I used to know my place was the 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 fallout
So many things that I wish you knew
So many walls up I can't (1)__________ 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 (2)________ to say since a (3)__________ of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us looks like 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 (4)__________ 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 (5)________ your pride
Like you should have held me
(Oh) I'm scared to see the ending
Why are we (6)____________________ this is nothing?
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
I've 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 your hands now
But I would lay my armor down
If you said you'd rather love than fight
So many things that you wish I knew
But the story of us might be (7)____________ 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
And I don't know what to say since a twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us
Looks (8)________ a lot (9)________ 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 (10)__________ of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now
