Taylor has said numerous times that Speak Now is about the last two years of her life. So I'm betting that this is about John Mayer ... especially considering the song 'Story of Us' is about an ex-boyfriend she sees at an award show and how it's killing her that he is avoiding her. The secret message for that song is 'CMT AWARDS' ... and Lautner and Jonas would have never been to thsoe. So,I do think it's about Mayer. And the details fit him so well .. the people warning her, her being so young (why else would she mention her age if he wasn't older than her/), the blatant disrespectful way he destroys so many women that he dates. Mayer is known for being awful in relationships. it all matches up.
As far as the song itself -- I'm going to agree with a lot of people and say it sounds like emotinoal abuse. She was deeply hurt by him. It sonds like he was manipulative and kept her on her toes and she never knew what to expect out of him. But, I love in the end how she says that she took his matches before fire could catch her. It's like saying she got away before she really got burned all the way. And when she says she's shining live fireworks over his sad empty town .. that suggest that she is able to see how she went wrong and she can work on getting happy .. while Mayer is still miserable and alone, because of his cruel treatment towards the people he dates.
Thsi song is so raw and it captures a feeling that is very hard to pin down in words .. it's like you're grasping for something for so long and you keep working at it becasue you're so hopeful and then finally you look around and see all the destruction and how hurt you got from it all. That probably didn't make any sense. But I do adore this song and how it's written, the melody, her voice, the lyrics .. all of it. Beautiful.
