This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her.
"I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this.
"You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially.
With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media.
It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame.
I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships.
It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.
I'm writing a letter
A letter for you
For the last time
Love me true
Souldn't we better
Stay on our own
Shouldn't we better stay alone
I'm writing a letter
A letter to you
It's not easy
I'm leaving you
You can remember me
When I'm gone
I'm writing a letter
A letter for you
For the last time
Love me true
Shouldn't we better
Stay on our own
Shouldn't we better stay alone
I'm dreaming of you
I'm dreaming of you
A letter for you
For the last time
Love me true
Souldn't we better
Stay on our own
Shouldn't we better stay alone
I'm writing a letter
A letter to you
It's not easy
I'm leaving you
You can remember me
When I'm gone
I'm writing a letter
A letter for you
For the last time
Love me true
Shouldn't we better
Stay on our own
Shouldn't we better stay alone
I'm dreaming of you
I'm dreaming of you
