This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her.
"I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this.
"You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially.
With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media.
It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame.
I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships.
It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.
Please lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love
Birds sing out of tune
And rain outside hide the moon
I'm okay, here I'll stay
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love
So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love's smile
He may come, I know not when
When he does I lose
So baby until then
Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love
So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love's smile
He may come, I know not when
When he does I know
So baby until then
Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love
Birds sing out of tune
And rain outside hide the moon
I'm okay, here I'll stay
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love
So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love's smile
He may come, I know not when
When he does I lose
So baby until then
Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love
So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love's smile
He may come, I know not when
When he does I know
So baby until then
Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love
