its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Don't try to cover up your
Your new flame
That's seething through your eyes
I can see it from ten feet away
And I know just who is burning
With every kiss you deny
So what makes you think
That I still care or still want you anymore?
So how long has this been going on?
And one more thing
Tell me, was she the reason
You stomped on my heart
And moved on so quickly?
You can call it pure torture
Watching your every move with her
Oh, just the thought of it
Knowing what goes on between you
Makes me sick
I should have noticed
I should have noticed
When she came into the picture
You were always with her
And she's not leaving
So how long has this been going on?
And one more thing
Tell me, was she the reason
You stomped on my heart
And moved on so quickly?
You called me shady
And now she's your babydoll
She drove you over
Over to break it off
And this time, just maybe
Maybe you went a little far
I'm sick of crying about
About your new flame
That's soon to burn out
So how long has this been going on?
And one more thing
Tell me, was she the reason
You stomped on my heart
And moved on so quickly?
I'm done
Your new flame
That's seething through your eyes
I can see it from ten feet away
And I know just who is burning
With every kiss you deny
So what makes you think
That I still care or still want you anymore?
So how long has this been going on?
And one more thing
Tell me, was she the reason
You stomped on my heart
And moved on so quickly?
You can call it pure torture
Watching your every move with her
Oh, just the thought of it
Knowing what goes on between you
Makes me sick
I should have noticed
I should have noticed
When she came into the picture
You were always with her
And she's not leaving
So how long has this been going on?
And one more thing
Tell me, was she the reason
You stomped on my heart
And moved on so quickly?
You called me shady
And now she's your babydoll
She drove you over
Over to break it off
And this time, just maybe
Maybe you went a little far
I'm sick of crying about
About your new flame
That's soon to burn out
So how long has this been going on?
And one more thing
Tell me, was she the reason
You stomped on my heart
And moved on so quickly?
I'm done

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
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.
love this. one of her 'older' songs.
i would love for this to be on her album. but i doubt it. disney wants her to do more 'happy' stuff.
