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.
Daylight fails to fade here one by one
Only you are the one I've been dreaming of
Hold your hand out let me take you to that other place I know
One I know well be alone
Every time the sun will rise
Those stars above
Grab the clouds
Start the lies
And then start to cry
I hold you a tragedy in my skies
All I do love is pray for rain with a prayer for rain
Only the sun can beat you all alone
We fit so perfect and now I keep letting go
If your wise enough to see
If your kind to all that be
If your here then now I know
Every time the sun will rise
Those stars above
Grab the clouds
Start the lies
And then start to cry
I hold you a tragedy in my skies
All I do love is pray for rain with a prayer for rain
The sky is falling
With thunderbolts of roars
The rain is coming
And all I do is pray
I hold you a tragedy in my skies
All I do love is pray for rain with a prayer for rain
Only you are the one I've been dreaming of
Hold your hand out let me take you to that other place I know
One I know well be alone
Every time the sun will rise
Those stars above
Grab the clouds
Start the lies
And then start to cry
I hold you a tragedy in my skies
All I do love is pray for rain with a prayer for rain
Only the sun can beat you all alone
We fit so perfect and now I keep letting go
If your wise enough to see
If your kind to all that be
If your here then now I know
Every time the sun will rise
Those stars above
Grab the clouds
Start the lies
And then start to cry
I hold you a tragedy in my skies
All I do love is pray for rain with a prayer for rain
The sky is falling
With thunderbolts of roars
The rain is coming
And all I do is pray
I hold you a tragedy in my skies
All I do love is pray for rain with a prayer for rain
