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.
This is where it ends
I can't have the years wasted back
Re-invent something I've lost
How to feel
The table is set for three
Indifference, you and me and we
Sit there in silence
Don't care to speak
It's not temporary
It's our cemetery
And we are carved in stone
In stone
From now - here to nowhere
Oblivion approaches
I've said my peace
Want nothing from you
From bitter to worse
Oh so revengefully yours
We've done our time
Just let us go
This is where it ends
I'm getting the hell out of here
Leaving nothing behind
It was never real
The hole is dug for three
Suffering, you and me and we
lay there in silence
No need to speak
It's finally here
No anguish, no fear
And we are free at last
From now - here to nowhere
Oblivion approaches
I've said my peace
Want nothing from you
From bitter to worse
Oh so revengefully yours
We've done our time
Just let us go
I love you
I hate you
I'll sing when you're dead
I loathe you
I need you
I'll scream and regret
From now - here to nowhere
Oblivion approaches
I've said my peace
Want nothing from you
From bitter to worse
Oh so revengefully yours
We've done our time
Just let us go
I can't have the years wasted back
Re-invent something I've lost
How to feel
The table is set for three
Indifference, you and me and we
Sit there in silence
Don't care to speak
It's not temporary
It's our cemetery
And we are carved in stone
In stone
From now - here to nowhere
Oblivion approaches
I've said my peace
Want nothing from you
From bitter to worse
Oh so revengefully yours
We've done our time
Just let us go
This is where it ends
I'm getting the hell out of here
Leaving nothing behind
It was never real
The hole is dug for three
Suffering, you and me and we
lay there in silence
No need to speak
It's finally here
No anguish, no fear
And we are free at last
From now - here to nowhere
Oblivion approaches
I've said my peace
Want nothing from you
From bitter to worse
Oh so revengefully yours
We've done our time
Just let us go
I love you
I hate you
I'll sing when you're dead
I loathe you
I need you
I'll scream and regret
From now - here to nowhere
Oblivion approaches
I've said my peace
Want nothing from you
From bitter to worse
Oh so revengefully yours
We've done our time
Just let us go
