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.
And I swear that you don't have to go
I thought we could wait for the fireworks
And I thought we could wait for the snow
To wash over georgia and kill the hurt
I thought I could live in your arms
And spend every moment I had with you
Stay up all night with the stars
Confess all the faith that I had in you (i had in you)
Too late, I'm sure (I'm sure) and lonely (and lonely, lonely)
'Cause it's another night, another dream wasted on you
So just be here now (here now, here now), against me
You know the words, so sing along for me baby
For heaven's sake, I know you're sorry
But you won't stop crying
This anniversary may never be the same
Inside I hope you know I'm dying
With my heart beside me
In shattered pieces that may never be replaced
And if I die right now, you'd never be the same
I thought with a month of apart
Together would find us an opening
Moonlight would provide the spark
And that I would stumble across your key
Or break down the door to your heart
Forever could see us not you and me
And you'd help me out of the dark
I gave me heart as an offering (as an offering)
Too late, I'm sure (I'm sure) and lonely (and lonely, lonely)
It's just another night, another dream wasted on you
So just be here now (now), against me
You know the words, so sing along for me baby
For heaven's sake, I know you're sorry
But you won't stop crying
This anniversary may never be the same
Inside I hope you know I'm dying
With my heart beside me
In shattered pieces that may never be replaced
And if I die right now, you'd never be the same
'Cause I will always remember you as you are right now to me
And I will always remember you now, remember you now
So sleep alone tonight
With no one here just by your side
Sleep alone tonight
And how does he feel?
And how does he kiss?
And how does he taste when he's on your lips?
How does he feel?
How does he kiss?
And I can't forget you
And I know you want me to want you I want to
But I can't forgive you
So when this over, don't blow your composure baby
I can't forgive you
And I know you want me to want you, I want to
But I can't forget you
So when this is over don't blow your composure baby
I can't forget you
I know you want me to want you, I want to
I thought we could wait for the fireworks
And I thought we could wait for the snow
To wash over georgia and kill the hurt
I thought I could live in your arms
And spend every moment I had with you
Stay up all night with the stars
Confess all the faith that I had in you (i had in you)
Too late, I'm sure (I'm sure) and lonely (and lonely, lonely)
'Cause it's another night, another dream wasted on you
So just be here now (here now, here now), against me
You know the words, so sing along for me baby
For heaven's sake, I know you're sorry
But you won't stop crying
This anniversary may never be the same
Inside I hope you know I'm dying
With my heart beside me
In shattered pieces that may never be replaced
And if I die right now, you'd never be the same
I thought with a month of apart
Together would find us an opening
Moonlight would provide the spark
And that I would stumble across your key
Or break down the door to your heart
Forever could see us not you and me
And you'd help me out of the dark
I gave me heart as an offering (as an offering)
Too late, I'm sure (I'm sure) and lonely (and lonely, lonely)
It's just another night, another dream wasted on you
So just be here now (now), against me
You know the words, so sing along for me baby
For heaven's sake, I know you're sorry
But you won't stop crying
This anniversary may never be the same
Inside I hope you know I'm dying
With my heart beside me
In shattered pieces that may never be replaced
And if I die right now, you'd never be the same
'Cause I will always remember you as you are right now to me
And I will always remember you now, remember you now
So sleep alone tonight
With no one here just by your side
Sleep alone tonight
And how does he feel?
And how does he kiss?
And how does he taste when he's on your lips?
How does he feel?
How does he kiss?
And I can't forget you
And I know you want me to want you I want to
But I can't forgive you
So when this over, don't blow your composure baby
I can't forgive you
And I know you want me to want you, I want to
But I can't forget you
So when this is over don't blow your composure baby
I can't forget you
I know you want me to want you, I want to

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
