This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”
I walked to the window turned out the light
Looked at the city went back through the night
Yeah I stood in the darkness stood all alone
Thank God for California thank God I'm going home
That's right you hurt me baby hurt me good
Hurt me like no one else ever could
Cut down the middle face down in the dirt
And we both know it's too late to save it
Bet ya feel proud about it baby
You taught me how to hurt
DC 10, 10:45
Halfway to L.A. red in the eyes
Might be the devil, might just be his friend
It don't make no difference, you ain't gettin' me again
That's right you hurt me baby hurt me good
Hurt me like no one else ever could
Cut down the middle face down in the dirt
And we both know it's too late to save it
Bet ya feel proud about it baby
You taught me how to hurt
Looked at the city went back through the night
Yeah I stood in the darkness stood all alone
Thank God for California thank God I'm going home
That's right you hurt me baby hurt me good
Hurt me like no one else ever could
Cut down the middle face down in the dirt
And we both know it's too late to save it
Bet ya feel proud about it baby
You taught me how to hurt
DC 10, 10:45
Halfway to L.A. red in the eyes
Might be the devil, might just be his friend
It don't make no difference, you ain't gettin' me again
That's right you hurt me baby hurt me good
Hurt me like no one else ever could
Cut down the middle face down in the dirt
And we both know it's too late to save it
Bet ya feel proud about it baby
You taught me how to hurt

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.
