If I told you one day,
That I would never hurt you.
That I would be a promise I can't make
If I told you someday,
That this could be true love forever.
I'll wipe that smile off your face.

If I made you cry 1000 times
would you still take me back
and I miss you
and I swore to God I would never miss you
if I told you I'm ok
and all my friends are doing great without you here
this letters so impersonal she said

the words just seem to pour right off the page

this is your break up letter
I lied when I told you it's not you that it's me
this is your break up letter
I'll set you on fire just to see the colors you could make

If I left you here for six long years
your washed up you feel used
are you jaded
and I pray to God you don't hate me
if I say I'll be home soon
a broken heart and an empty room is all you'll find
with a letter in the middle of the floor

the words just seem to fall right off the page
I try to scream but somehow I can't breathe

this is your break up letter
I lied when I told you it's not you that it's me
this is your break up letter
I'll set you on fire just to see the colors you could make

So tell me
so tell me what you're thinking
cause I can't read your mind
so tell me
so tell me what you're thinking
it's hard to see things clear
behind your blackened eyes

and I could make things right
if all the stars aligned
a different place a different time
cross my heart and hope you die

the words just seem to fall right off the page
I try to scream but somewhere I can't breathe
I know I made my share of mistakes
but you were the worst one
the worst mistake I ever made

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
