These days I'm getting older
Before my time
To say I'm getting stronger
Would be a lie

I think you're trying to break me
Seems so unreal
Don't know how to take me
Don't know how I feel

Look around you
Do you see what I see
Other people think you try to
Make a fool of me

It seems to take so long
Till anything gets done
Why do I have to lose to get things
I've never won

I'm defeated again
I see the look on your face
I've got that feeling again
My mouth has a bad taste

My hope in empty promise
Put me to shame
I know its what you wanted
I need the pain

I was gonna be someone
You held me down
Didn't want me to move on
You let me drown

    I think the song is a message to somebody who wasn't very nice to the writer/singer. Who tried to 'hold them down', and succeeded too.

Blank Space
Taylor Swift
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.
