I send you off to a thousand miles away, you are silent, black and white
Perhaps this romance too far apart shouldn’t exist in this silent era
I send you away beyond the end of Earth, are you still there?
Where is the sound of the string instrument coming from? It’s hard to predict life and death, I have to use my whole life to waitI enter the woods upon hearing the sound of crying, search for a white flower, but only get a row of moss
The sky is far away from the mountain, the rain falls on the flower garden, my hair has turned white
I enter the woods upon hearing the sound of crying, search for a white flower, but only get a row of moss
The sky is far away from the mountain, the rain falls on the flower garden, I’m waiting for you to returnI can see you standing, honey (I can see you starin’, honey)
With his arms around your body (Like he’s just your understudy)
Laughin’, but the joke’s not funny at all (Like you’d get your knuckles bloody for me)And it took you five whole minutes (Second, third, and hundredth chances)
To pack us up and leave me with it (Balancin’ on breaking branches)
Holdin’ all this love out here in the hall (Those eyes add insult to injury)I think I’ve seen this film before
And I didn’t like the ending
You’re not my homeland anymore (I’m not your problem anymore)
So what am I defending now? (So who am I offending now? )
You were my town (You were my crown)
Now I’m in exile, seein’ you out
I think I’ve seen this film before
So I’m leavin’ out the side doorSo step right out, there is no amount
Of crying I can do for you
All this time
We always walked a very thin line
You didn’t even hear me out (you didn’t even hear me out)
You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)All this time
I never learned to read your mind (never learned to read my mind)
I couldn’t turn things around (you never turned things around)
‘Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
So many signs, so many signs
You didn’t even see the signs‘Cause you never gave a warning sign (you never gave a warning sign)
You never gave a warning sign
Ah, ah— Taylor Swift and her friend waving goodbye to Lee Soo Man with her fortune cat —
