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.
Oh, welcome to a day of my life (day of my life)
The memoirs 'bout imperfect angel
Whoa, welcome, welcome, welcome to a day of my life
The memoirs of imperfect angel, oh
Though the lights were low, I could see you both
In a lover's silhouette
And my heart stood still, I was froze right there
Staring down at her red dress
So I bolted out the door, jumped right into the car
It's too dangerous to be in the vicinity of where you are
Rolled down all the windows, just so I could breathe
Can't believe you just actually did this shit to me
I'm going 'bout a hundred, mascara runnin'
Laughing out of anger, but it don't strike me as funny
Been too good to you
I've been virtuous and true
To have something like this happen in my own bedroom
Betcha gon' know-know how it feels (when I get you back)
Betcha gon' know-know how it feels (when your heart's been cracked)
Betcha gon' know-know how it feels (when we fade to black)
How it feels for real
And you see your whole world collapse
Before we both get loud, I'ma break it down
And let you know what happened for real
I was over her house, me and her on the couch
And the whole plan was just to chill
And then it got hot, after taking some shots
The time must have slipped away
Because all I know, I woke hungover
And girl, it was the very next day
With the sun in my face
I woke up in a rage
Screamed, "What have you done to me?"
And I'm telling you, babe
I know it sounds crazy, she must have put something in my drink, uh
I know you don't believe it
And you think I'm dead wrong
Standing there butt naked
With nothing but a sheet on
Then she come down with nothing but a robe on
And that's when
I put my damn clothes on
Got the fuck up out of there
Girl, you know I know how it looks
(See I know how it looks)
Baby, you know I know how it looks
(But baby, it ain't like that)
Girl, you know I know how it looks, eh, eh, eh
So don't go accusing me of something that I didn't really mean to do
This is for real, for real, for real (no)
Oprah Winfrey whole segment, for real, for real (no)
20/20, Barbara Walters, for real, for real (no)
60 Minutes for real
(Baby)
I had all my trust in you and look at what you put me through
(You got me all crazy) (But this is not my fault, nah, know it, baby)
Somewhere down the line you gon' get what you deserve, you fucking jerk
(Your were supposed to save me) You were supposed to save me (I'ma love you)
Oh sweet baby (I don't love her, no)
(Fading away) (Don't fade, don't fade, no)
But you gon' know how this feels
Even if it's the last thing I ever do

Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I do believe this is a song about her relationship with Luis Miguel. But I don't understand why this lyrics are different from the real song, this is a remix or a collaboration with some one?
@Adgy It's a mess up in the system. There are two different versions, one is a remix, the other is the original. This is labeled as the original and has the remix's lyrics.
