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.
She a real bitch
She don't give a fuck 'bout no nigga
She on that money shit
Before I'm all in gotta make sure you on some a hundred shit
'Cause lately everybody been on funny shit and
I know a few fear when we gone be running shit
Don't make me hit that fucking switch
'Cause I'll press that button quick
Applying pressure, got 'em calling quits
(What the fuck is this?) This that leave 'em all for dead
Have 'em all sick, in here high as hell
Howling Diablo and Russian Snow mixed
And you ain't even gotta ask why my shoulder the coldest
The closest to me steady folding, that shit don't make no sense
Shit, all my pain be real
That's why I attack it with no pen
I cut off all them loose ends and focused on more wins
Don't play around, boy, this a real stick
Don't wanna get found with a few rounds all in yo Hilfig'
Gone fuck around make me hit the kill switch, don't fuck with me
I got niggas that ah leave you real stiff, you know me
I'm somewhere slutting out a bad bitch
And you know that she a real bitch
She don't give a fuck 'bout no nigga
She on that money shit
Before I'm all in gotta make sure you on some a hundred shit
'Cause lately everybody been on funny shit and
I know a few fear when we gone be running shit
Don't make me hit that fucking switch
(Know a few fear when we gone be running shit)
(Don't make me hit that fucking switch)
She don't give a fuck 'bout no nigga
She on that money shit
Before I'm all in gotta make sure you on some a hundred shit
'Cause lately everybody been on funny shit and
I know a few fear when we gone be running shit
Don't make me hit that fucking switch
'Cause I'll press that button quick
Applying pressure, got 'em calling quits
(What the fuck is this?) This that leave 'em all for dead
Have 'em all sick, in here high as hell
Howling Diablo and Russian Snow mixed
And you ain't even gotta ask why my shoulder the coldest
The closest to me steady folding, that shit don't make no sense
Shit, all my pain be real
That's why I attack it with no pen
I cut off all them loose ends and focused on more wins
Don't play around, boy, this a real stick
Don't wanna get found with a few rounds all in yo Hilfig'
Gone fuck around make me hit the kill switch, don't fuck with me
I got niggas that ah leave you real stiff, you know me
I'm somewhere slutting out a bad bitch
And you know that she a real bitch
She don't give a fuck 'bout no nigga
She on that money shit
Before I'm all in gotta make sure you on some a hundred shit
'Cause lately everybody been on funny shit and
I know a few fear when we gone be running shit
Don't make me hit that fucking switch
(Know a few fear when we gone be running shit)
(Don't make me hit that fucking switch)

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”
